And let me show you something.
Oh, fuck.

The phone is working fine.
All right.
Let me see how this looks.
I feel like this way is like way better, right?
Let's see.
All right.
Yeah, this is way better, right?
No, it's not.
I'm just trying to get this set up, right?
Like, this is the only way I can see what I look like remotely.
This is fucking terrible.
All right.
I needed, like, way to relax, you know, for this to work. This is fucking awful.
Let's try this way.
Keep fucking pressing buttons.
I don't know what I'm pressing.
Uh, let's see.
Yeah, it's not the best.
Not the best. Not the best. all right we're gonna have to make do with this for better or worse Air Force.
All right, y'all, what's going on? All right, we are here in Las Vegas right now.
I don't really like this setup at all.
This is a big problem.
Okay.
I am like super uncomfortable with this setup.
It's like I'm in a corner you know it might be better? Wow, this is way fucking better.
Holy shit.
Let's be so. here guys this is like a technical difficulty for for seven minutes i mean i guess this is like a good intro right yeah this is much better this is much better
this is better than what we used to have you know
better be proactively engaged what's going on everybody
okay so uh yeah i'm in i'm in Vegas uh for the podcast podcast has been concluded
podcast is Podcast has been concluded.
Podcast has been concluded, but, you know, I just finished it, and I'm going to be recording another.
We're going to be going live tomorrow again.
Honestly, I remember Eddie got, like like canceled for talking to jake shields after talking to him in private and on his podcast i got to say uh he is definitely
somebody who is not hateful, you know, deep down.
And you got to watch the podcast because it's actually crazy.
You're going to see in real time how the left wing and the communist position in this country has been like absolutely made totally alien from people who would otherwise be open to it, but you know, who are not because of it's being associated with like a specific kind of outrageous political correctness and unreasonableness
when it comes to culture stuff and whatever and it's like you know people claim and they're
like oh Jake Shields is a Nazi, he's a Nazi, whatever.
And it's like, fundamentally he's not.
Fundamentally, not a hateful person.
Fundamentally, not a psychopath.
Fundamentally, somebody who, you know, has basic human values and integrity, but was being actively told by people who are, you know, calling
themselves leftists, liberals, and people on the right that like these very reasonable
sentiments and positions that most people have
are fundamentally right-wing and far-right, right?
So, great to meet him.
It was a great podcast,
and I'm really looking forward to you guys
for you guys to see it, actually, when it gets released.
It's going to be quite controversial when it is, when it comes out, you know, right-wingers are going to be crying about it.
Leftists are going to be crying about it.
Also, okay, I saw a prediction of mine that actually came true,
which is, it's quite bright, it's quite bright in here. I saw a prediction of mine actually come true, which was if we started using the term internazbo, people would like freak out and say, oh, we got them.
It's evidence that they're nozboles.
And it literally just means international
Bolshevik
and I saw
that in real time
on social media
I thought it was
fucking hilarious
somebody screenshoted
a gorilla being
like we are
internazbolls
and they're like
you see we got them they're in this what they said international
national bolsheviks so instead of international bolshevik they said international national
bolshevik which i don't know what that means.
Definitely means something, right?
But they basically are trying to say that, like, this is smoking gun evidence.
We are international.
What is an international national national Bolshevik you know it's just funny how you could just use words in certain ways that just like fuck with people's head it's like interna internazbo
literally just means international bolshevik right and they're like well why is the z there it's like well i don't fucking know why did you put a z
in there when you call us nosbles like i don't fucking know apparently that's like the
apparently that's yeah that's what it means uh this is no this is my mobile camera um i mean i should bring
no i'm not going to bring this home this is my mobile setup this is a mobile camera but uh
basically guys i just came here to collect donations so that I could go to the slot machine to gamble all the money I've ever earned away.
But I'm just kidding. I'm too fucking stingy to fucking, I'm Mr. Crabs. I'll never gamble in my life. I don't even use a fucking slot machine. I don't just piss away money.
Right.
But this is my first time in Las Vegas. I got to say, this is the first time I've been here.
This is the first time I've seen it. And it reminds me a lot, Disney World. It's quite nice actually, nice
restaurants, nice places, it's clean
it's whatever. I'm not a fan of gambling.
I'm not a fan of any of that, but it's my first time
here. I'll tell you guys what, I love
Nevada. I love the desert. I love the environment. the desert I love the environment this is the Rocky
Mountain environment well this not the Rocky Mountains this is the West and this
is where the Epstein video was shot the F-A-y video and
I gotta say
you say hi to the Nevada
chapter I want to
okay I'm gonna just like reveal something
some of the people
in Nevada chapters show me that there's like a
there's like a there's like a dsa ml event tonight
um red star or something like that they were having an event and i was basically like
why don't we just like pull up in up in, like, a friendly way?
And, yeah, we're against the DSA and everything, but it's like, look, you got, like, M.Ls in Nevada.
And it's like, why don't we just, like, link up and talk?
It's, like, share experiences.
It's kind of like when Black September, the Palestinian group met with the East German athletes.
And it's like, we're just going to link up and talk, you know.
We don't necessarily come from the same place. But that's like such a random reference.
But no, I was thinking like, why don't we just like attend the event and just be like
just tell them like yo haza's in town you're doing like a uh a marxist leninist event tonight
and we could just like link up talk just be chill. Like, you know,
if we're all tankies and communists,
like, who cares, right?
So they messaged them on Instagram and, like,
apparently,
they were like,
no, mega communism is like,
oh, fuck, I forgot the internet. But, like, to, fuck, I forgot the internet.
But, like, to be clear, I am totally chill talking to PSL, DS, like, in real life.
Like, why not, you know?
I'm not, like, a crazy sectarian.
Like, why don't you actually just meet us and see if we're like the monsters were painted as,
you know?
I'm not going to be like crazy.
I'm not going to like go there and start streaming and trolling and stuff.
But no, they were like adamantly no. They're like, no, they were like adamantly, no.
They're like,
no.
Hell no.
They literally said hell no.
Um,
so I was just like,
all right.
So why do people treat us like a cult or whatever?
Like we're crazy when I'm literally the most chill person in the world.
If you're doing like an ML event and you're calling yourself the Red Star Caucus, it's like, why?
Honestly, like when I see a poster with Lenin on it, I'm like, let's just go chill.
Let's just go like, let's just, what do they call it? Um, what do they call it? Let's just like shoot the shit, you know? It's like we are a different sect of a similar religion, you know?
But they're in talk, they're saying no, heck no.
You know, you're a maga-communist and.
I was just like, okay. And then I didn't really have other ideas for the Nevada chapter.
I mean, if you're here in Las Vegas already, we could link up, but that would have been a much better more productive thing to do i don't know um i would say that i do
want to meet the nevada people i just don't know how many are available for anything you know
and i'm also leaving tomorrow.
So, yeah, there's that as well.
But overall, very productive day.
Podcast was like two hours long.
Yeah, I mean, I think that there's a lot of maneuvering going on on the right wing for sure to prevent our message from getting out in any kind of way.
For people to blacklist us and be like, you can't talk to these people, don't go near them, yada, yada, yada.
That's for sure a major thing that's been going on.
And I'm happy to say that, you know, Jake has enough integrity not to fall for any of that BS, which is why, you know, we were able to have such a productive conversation and talk about just like give, be given the opportunity to talk about communism, talk about Marxism, Marxism, Marxism, Leninism, and so on and so on.
But I love Nevada.
The environment's very nice.
I love the mountains.
I love the backdrop around Vegas.
Yeah. Okay. So Julius Malema sentenced to five years in prison for firing a weapon.
That is absolutely going to be a game changer within South African politics for sure.
And I think they waited for the moment be a game changer within South African politics for sure.
And I think they waited for the moment when the EFF was starting to lose some electoral momentum.
That's when they really wanted to nail him because they think they were able to get away with it.
Yeah, he fired into the air.
I don't want to sound crazy.
Definitely they were looking for an opportunity to get him when they were losing a little momentum electorally.
And that way they could basically prevent like a civil war from starting basically.
But no, it's super fucked up and obviously we totally condemn it. And it's an extremely unfortunate development obviously all over X people are still pushing the so-called white genocide narrative
and talking about South Africa like
guys can I like not have, guys, can I, like, not have to carry this? Can I just, like, be free?
You know, I just, like, would prefer to have the freedom to...
Can you guys hear me just as well like this, or I gotta keep holding that shit?
Ones, you can hear me just as well
twos if you can't sounds like ass all right fuck then why is everybody saying once? So yeah, I wanted to check in with y'all give you those updates and i also have a lot of things
to talk about as well uh i do see there's a new wave of hilarious outrage about us on the t l I'm constantly seeing people cry about ACP, cry
about ACP. But ultimately, recruitment is driving up, being driven up because of that, because
more people are finding out about us. That's just how it always has. Like the outrage cycles
always benefit us.
We always get waves
of recruitment and
membership from them
like almost without
exception.
That's actually happening.
I can confirm that.
So that's a very
positive development
and it's nothing to be deterred about, nothing to lose.
Nothing to be in low spirits about, so to speak.
But I will tell you guys that um uh we're going to be having that debate this weekend
oh what a great thing to look forward to the anarcho capitalist guyitalist guy the British anarcho-capitalist
I'm just looking forward to that debate it's going to be so fun what a great use of my time
and I guarantee you it's going to be on some PPP shit, right?
We're going to be talking about PPP, 100%.
We're going to have to deal with that.
Just this pedantry and sophistry about propositions and all this fucking nonsense.
Because everything has to be reduced to propositional logic right
and uh that's very unfortunate i'm not looking forward to that in any capacity whatsoever
uh but i will do it i will deal with the ppPP stuff and dismantle it on those terms if I have to, you know.
Okay, I want to talk about something.
I want to talk about something pretty outrageous, actually.
Hassan Piker is just stealing my aura.
And I'm okay with that.
I just want him to publicly acknowledge that, you know, this Haas guy's got a lot of aura.
I'm going to channel some of that.
Because I saw a yell, Hassan Piker
sitting there
with a dark
black suit
and he's like,
we should have
a dictatorship.
We do need
a dictatorship.
And it's like,
who the fuck
are you channeling,
bro?
Who are you getting that from? And it's like, who the fuck are you channeling, bro? Who are you getting that from?
And it's like, I overlooked so much.
The dude copies my fashion.
He wears the green jacket.
The same green jacket that I wear, he wears that.
He wears the black suit with the collar, right?
He was wearing that same shit, channeling my energy, right?
Even the thing that's on my ex-profile picture.
And now he's going full haze, talking about dictatorship.
And he was getting, by the way, he's getting quote tweeted being like, oh, this is just left-wing fascism.
Apparently everyone is becoming a Nasbole now.
Anyway, yeah, so he was trying to channel my energy for sure in that speech.
100,000% and I'm not saying I'm mad.
I'm just saying, first of all, give me some credit, bro.
Give me some credit.
Be like, yo, this Haas guy's got something going on.
He's got some aura. He's got some aura he's got some swag i want to channel
hasan pike look if it's honestly hasan piker if he could be a carbon copy of me in terms of my
aura i would be mugged i'm not going to lie he's what um much bigger probably probably wider as well i'm not gonna lie
you know he's like what six four uh probably wider there's nothing i could say if he had my positions
if he had like one for one, if he was like me in terms of personality, then I would be, I would have a lot to worry about. I would have a lot to worry about. But thankfully, but thankfully, he will never get there.
I'll always be, I have a wider personality, you know, I have a wider outlook, more powerful.
He's not going to become warlord type.
But I'm not going to lie, like, look, when he was like, we should have a dictatorship.
And he said that in front of a bunch of Yale students.
I was a little bit amused.
I was kind of like, okay.
All right.
I'm not going to say based, but the in an abstraction like in a vacuum it's kind
of based right now you give the context the context is kind of well you're still kind of just a democrat
and you're just kind of it's kind of just posturing a little bit
but the idea of going to yale and the idea of a turkish guy going to yale uh wearing a haze type drip
like black suit being like if we are to have a dictatorship, let it be the pro.
It's like so Prussian.
It's like so dark.
It's like dark Mali energy, you know?
It's kind of like some dark Mali energy he was channeling for sure but does it mean is there
substance behind it is there no but it's just like you know it wasn't that video so popular
isn't that what the people crave dark molly you know he stole it from us i don't look the best form of flattery is imitation i'm not
upset about it i'm not even saying i could do this shit the the best out of anyone i'm just saying
nobody has my soul nobody has my soul nobody has my aura my soul why because i'm just like that
you know i mean i just like that uh i'm just like that nobody can steal that from me it's just like it's
impossible you know uh It's just like, it's impossible. You know?
It's just, um... I would be very worried if that could be stolen.
I wouldn't be worried. I'd be relieved.
I'd be like,
I don't have to do this shit anymore.
I just fucking retire.
Go to the beach.
But alas.
Alas.
Alas.
I hope you can't see the reflection in my glasses because I have prisoners of war
that were captured.
They're tied up right now.
They're about to be executed
as soon as the stream ends.
I'm just kidding.
What a crazy thing to say, though.
Why?
That's actually like literally a fucked up joke, like straight up.
That's so fucked up in dark uh anyway yeah i have a bunch of yale students that were captured a bunch of yale students who objected to the dictatorship idea. We found them.
We kidnapped them.
And they're awaiting
trial.
No, I don't care about it. I'm just talking about
being docks or some shit. I don't really give a fuck.'m just talking about being doxed or some shit.
I don't really give a fuck, you know?
Okay, you can find my location.
I don't give a shit.
I honestly, I straight up don't give a fuck.
Like, okay, you can find, here.
Like, while I'm here, I don't give a fuck.
All right?
Okay, you know where I am.
Who gives a shit?
Right. okay you know where i am who gives a shit right anyway uh i got nothing to hide you know
but uh no it's such a shame i like if i if the d DSA people were just like, yo, you guys can come.
By the way, I would have never said anything.
I would have never like made a spectacle of it or said it in public and been like, oh, you guys tolerated Haas, the dark one.
You allowed the dark one into your safe space.
I would have just literally shown up,
been completely chilled, talked to people, kick back. I would have ordered everyone pizza,
by the way. Fucking DSA, uh, whatever, Red Star, whatever you guys are doing in Vegas. I just want to know, I would literally order food, because that's what I do
when there's, when I attend events, I order food for people. I would have fucking ordered pizza.
I would order food. I would have been totally chill. I want to, I would stop by for like an hour
and then left, right? But no, apparently I'm fucking Satan. Apparently I'm the worst guy in the world
whatever I honest to God
I don't take it personally
honestly God I don't take it personally
but just understand who's the chill one
and who's the one who's just fucking upset
all the time for no reason
it's like, okay.
Okay, you have all these internet problems.
Okay, are you real like Reditors?
Like, is this a real thing?
La Roosites and Dugan.
That would Dugan thing I met with Dugan. That would Dugan thing
I met with Dugan.
But the LaRouche thing
is quite strange.
Wouldn't it?
I feel like PSL people
I met were pretty cool.
Why don't...
Can I put this out there and just say this?
Like, let's say PS...
Okay, why doesn't PSL, DSA North Star, and ACP,
just, like, do common events?
Like, why don't we just, like, have a time where we're just, like, we're going to, like, rent events. Like, why don't we just like have a time
where we're just like, we're going to like rent out this place?
Okay, some
water thing was going. I thought my toilet
just exploded. Just like the water
pipes or some shit.
Anyway, why don't we all, DSA, North Star, PSL, ACP.
It's like, let's just like, let's like have like a tankie con.
Like, why the fuck not, though? let's just like do tankie con like we'll just
we don't have to agree on everything how about we just like agree on like fundamentals like we just
make it about being a tankie we just like we have um marxist leninist literature we have like posters of
the communist posters we have like we theme it as an m l theme chague vara, Cuban flags, Soviet flags.
And then we just like have a convention where just like all the tankies meet up and literally just chill and network and discuss maybe discuss some different strategies, but we don't have to debate. And then we just won't even talk about the things we disagree about like we won't and we won't use bad words or anything you won't have to cry about anything why am i the only unifier see nobody else would suggest this idea i would suggest this idea tanky con okay uh why couldn't why shouldn't we do it um
like who's getting in the way of that not us
people dress up as
no we that should be banned actually maybe
maybe we shouldn't do it
yeah
that's just like crazy
what if they bring It's just like crazy.
What if they bring pride flags to Tanki Khan?
Yeah, it's just like, okay, you know, do they have to? Like, do we have to make it the theme different than just
communism like do we have to bring all this other stuff yeah i guess we do we have to pay
tribute when you think about it identity politics it's almost like a tributary politics.
Usually in a tributary context, like a wild peripheral zone, you know, there's different tribes
you're paying tribute to, and it's like, there's just like this like interconnected tributary system we just kind
intersectionality just means we have to just like have this tributary system where we're just kind of like
paying tribute to all these things that are just not the center authority like I just think we should
only pay tribute to Lenin and Stalin and
our red flag. Is that so much? Why don't we just pay tribute to the red flag? We will leave the
American flags at home. No problem. We'll leave the American flag at home.
We only have the red flag, right?
I would have no issue with that.
But, uh, no, they would make it.
I mean, even if they brought their dumb flags, I just wouldn't care.
I'd be like, okay.
But you don't have to make that the central.
We just have like the central theme, be tanky
stuff.
And I just think that
would be like such a cool event.
It'd be so cool if we could just all
have a tankie con centered around proletarian dictatorship
you know centered around communist history and contemporary communist states and ideas for how we move forward and being
open-minded about that.
I don't know.
I was actually kind of surprised they were like no you can't come it's like but i
understand the internet but it's like in real life too really like this is how it is in real life as
well like this is just it is in real life as well. Like, this is just, okay.
I guess so, you know.
I guess this is just how it is, you know.
It's just super serious.
Um... um but uh what was i saying yeah so that was something i would would have done tonight instead of stream, but instead I'm just going to stream way guys I'm running off of no sleep and a lot of caffeine so I'm high energy but
I'm a little bit discombobulated
oh my god,
Australia, like actually pulling through.
Thank you, bro.
Holy fuck.
Thank you, man.
Appreciate you.
Uh, yeah.
So, um,
I'm gonna have,
I have an extremely busy schedule the next few weeks
but I know I have been missing some streams
base populace thank you girl appreciate you I've been missing some streams

i stream monday didn't stream tuesday because i got no sleep and then yesterday i was traveling so i've been
skipping a little too much, right?
I understand.
It's what happens when I travel.
By the way, can I complain about something really quick?
Somebody made a photo of me and Hassan, and it's like no more brother wars or some shit uh johnny what's up
my first problem with that is like why is ai every time a i makes uh anything generate i don't
know if it's like how my face looks or something, but AI always extrapolates
that I'm like a fat guy. They just always extrapolate that I'm just like this chubby fat guy.
And it's like, bro, it's not the truth. It's like not true. I'm not built like that. You see like how I'm built like I'm I'm I'm not built like that you know like I don't know why it's always making me some fat kebob stand cellar. It's always generating me as like a fat ass kebab stand seller who's just like it's not fair
it's it's wrong uh mad beach for supper appreciate you with the five don't be don't be
generating me this way i don't look like that it's like it's be generating me this way. I don't look like that.
It's like it's always generating me as like, bro, I am like wide shaped like this.
Okay, I don't have a six-pack abs or whatever, but it's like I'm not, I'm not, I don't have a frumpy shape the way AI makes me.
And it's giving me a clavacular style, uh, um, insecurity and dysmorphia.
And I'm just, I'm just like, why do I have to look like that in that photo, man?
Anyway, my sunglasses are gone.
No, wait, they're below the couch.
Yeah, because can you guys fix the AI?
When am I going to Chicago?
I don't know. I'm supposed to be going to may first but i'm not going to
be in chicago may first i want to be somewhere else somebody's like can you see the orb
what do you what are you talking about what do you what do you fucking mean by that what the fuck are you
oh the oh oh the los vegas orb i can't see it right now, but I have seen it, and it's pretty mid.
I saw, yeah, the big building.
I did see that, yeah.
I'm not looking at it right now, but I did see it.
You know, I'll, like, docks my location to figure out where I am.
You know, I could actually deliver a pretty profound lecture about Las Vegas right now.
If anyone's down for that, I have a boring, and it's not boring to me, but it's pretty fun.
I'll talk about the metaphysics of Las Vegas and
what it means for the story of this country and stuff, because I've been actually thinking about it a lot.
Okay, so I'm going to start it like this. A few days ago, I was actually watching a Netflix documentary.
And the documentary is about a more, because I'm a cult leader.
I want to know, like, how other cults are, right?
And then I was like, actually, I'm not a cult leader.
It's pretty fucked up.
Because I watched this Netflix documentary about this fundamentalist Mormon cult called the FLDS, fundamentalist, whatever.
And it's actually, like, horrific and also slightly comical. Because, okay okay there's this breakaway Mormon fundamentalist
cult that you know regards this denist prophetic dynasty is like this father and then it passed
over to his son William Jeffs or something he was like this father and then it passed over to his son, William Jeffs or something.
He was like this crazy cult leader that said he talks to God or something.
The problem is that he went to jail because he was marrying children, which happens in this country.
He was caught. He went to jail.
And then he issued an order to the community and basically said, no one is allowed to get married anymore. No one is allowed to have intimate relations or have children. Because he went to jail and because he could no longer, you know, have wives or have a marital relationship, he told his entire community that he, like, ran, his entire cult, that, like, all of them have to be totally celibate and cannot reproduce anymore.
And for years, like, everyone would listen to the will of the profit, right?
There's this random, dumb guy, a literal, like, random, like, stupid-looking NPC-like type guy, like,
really stupid, retarded-looking guy.
Like, just your, like,
bog-standard, like,
you have to look, it's Samuel Bateman.
He just, like, this is extremely,
like, not intelligent,
not knowledgeable, not proficient in any skill, not successful in any
kind of way. And extremely, they call in the show, I'm going to take this term, I'm going to borrow
this term. In the show, they called him a slump. They're like, yeah, he was a slump.
I was like, I've never heard of the term slump,
but I'm going to use that.
Because he was a slump.
He was just like a fucking literal NPC, right?
Just like, you know when you're playing a video game,
when you're coding a video game,
generate me like a random dumb guy
that's what he was just like a random dumb guy yeah schlub whatever a schlub just like a straight up a random dumb guy right
okay so in the FLDS, there were these two scumbags.
There's like these brothers.
They were pretty successful business-wise.
They had a lot of money.
Somehow, this slub, this random dumb guy, he woke up one day and he told them that he is the new
prophet and that Warren Jeffs is actually dead, that it's a CGI simulation of the footage
they're releasing of him and that god is directly
speaking to him and that he's the prophet now so these wealthy mormons of the that were part of the
cult i guess they just listened to him and they gave him all of their money.
And then here's where it gets really fucked up and disturbing.
They gave him all of their own wives.
He told them, God told me
that your wives belong to me,
and your daughters do as well.
So all of their daughters
and wives were sent to be
with this guy
to be married to him, including
minors, by the way.
Yeah, I watched like three episodes or four episodes of the documentary.
It's really fucked up, right?
And it's like this cult leader is not even like a good cult leader.
He's like some random retard, dumb guy who just told these people he's a prophet and they believed him without any.
I don't, it made me think like, is this like, are we autotan is there are these people automaton's and they just like
it's like their ants and like whenever a random ant comes along is like i'm the new king aunt
it's just like your program to just believe it without questioning i don don't know. It was really weird.
Dubois, whatever.
Sorry, not whatever.
Dubois, thank you so much, man.
But whatever, right?
Regarding the ant thing.
Yeah, so it's really disturbing.
It's like an extremely disturbing documentary. I don't know if I should recommend it. I's really disturbing it's like an extremely disturbing documentary i don't know if i should
recommend it i was really disturbed by it actually it's pretty sick in general but uh okay i'm
going to talk about why I'm mentioning this.
So he's getting all this money from these two brothers that just gave all their money to him and are funding his lifestyle.
He has no job, by the way.
He doesn't do anything at all, by the way.
I'm not going to even mention what he does on his spare time, his free time, because
it's really disgusting.
But he starts in this small Mormon community that was founded on a cult, he straight up starts buying
Bentley's and range rovers and him and his posse are just like driving around the hood,
the Mormon hood, literally flexing on everybody about how wealthy they are.
And like, he's like, yeah, I want to get this mansion, this private jet.
And it's like extremely worldly.
And he's just like, they're filming him in the Bentley, just like driving.
And I'm like, it made me think about something.
It made me think of like Kevin Kenneth Copeland, the pastor, and like a bunch of mega church
priests.
And like, what is this aspect of our culture where we oscillate between this
puritanism to use it in a very flexible way i'm not going to disparage the actual puritans
but this kind of like religious fundamentalism that is solely focused on the spiritual, which is Christianity is known for.
It's strict focuses on the spiritual denial of the material, which simultaneously happens to correspond to this extremely shameless shamelessness materialism, which is like, yeah, I got a Bentley.
Yeah, I got that plane.
Yeah, God gave me.
Yeah, I'm going to flex on you with this Rolex.
I had to get, I got this sandalowel.
I got this man.
I got all this shit, man.
And it's like, how do the congregation
see
theological and spiritual value in that?
Like, how do they not just
cynically be like, okay, this guy's just some fucking scammer trying to take our money?
No, they're still like, no, this is a holy man.
And then it's worth thinking about this because it's the same shit with Trump.
Why the fuck do evangelical support the fuck out of Trump when he
just flexes on everybody?
That right there is a man of Jesus.
And it's like literally a guy
known for being like extremely
exorbitant and ostentatious and
like very far from saintly and humble in the conventional sense.
It's like piety is not rewarded.
What's rewarded is this like extreme flexing.
And I wanted to think about the theology that's behind that, because there has to be,
right? How does that work? And then I think about American fundamentalist Christianity,
and its emphasis in the Old Testament. And that's where it kind of clicks for me, which is, you know, the distinct
nature of Christianity in America versus the rest of the world is that it is distinctly barbaric.
And what I mean by that is that because America lacked the barbaric
civilizational foundations of a country, which includes, you know, the dimension of politics,
it includes the dimension of community building, it includes a dimension of like how
earthly authority is established and so on and so on. We never could take that for granted in ways
that Europe could. So Europe, for example, had the barbarism of feudalism, and feudalism forms the foundation
of European civilization, more or less, right? And, of course, you know, other societies had
actual nomadic, barbaric, you know, nomadic sedentary dialectics, you know, barbaric nomad, step princes, acquiring royalty and establishing dynasties.
You had this whole dynamic, right, which set the foundation
of civilizations.
But it's like America never had that,
right? So I think
what, and this
actually explains our attachment to Israel.
This is the key to understanding why America is so fundamentally wedded to Israel.
In America, that substantive kind of material demiurg foundation, upon which spirituality becomes possible. We never built it,
and so we brought with us a strong emphasis on the Old Testament. The version of God that is incredibly wrathful, that is punitive, that is very material
and demiurgic, fire in brimstone and apocalyptic, and very much like awesome.
Not in their, like, everything is awesome.
Like, you know, in like the old sense of the word, awesome, like inspiring awe, right?
Mighty, earth shaking, awesome.
Like, there's a dimension of the sublime where it's like the Lord is this
kind of terrible, powerful, great force that makes the world itself quake and tremble and so on
and so on. And that is fundamentally baked in to the American theological and metaphysical outlook, right?
It's like a very strong reliance on the Old Testament to fill the gaps where the kind of barbaric, mythical foundations of civilization are supposed to, right?
Once of you guys are following me with this.
Okay. Okay, good.
So what I think is going on with the kind of like cult leaders or megachurch pastors who are like very ostentatious and very much showing off the wealth is that there's this dynamic baked into the American fundamentalist Christian or evangelical worldview, which necessitates the, it necessitates a kind of intentional wickedness, evil, and barbarism to serve as the foundation of good and the message of Christ. We have no access to the message of Christ, so we have to invent the foundation of this message through intentionally wicked and evil acts of depravity, which simultaneously are the only sanctified forms of intercourse with the material world. So if you don't know what I mean by that, it's that the material is fallen and depraved, and only the spiritual is where Christ exists, right? So the only sanctified way in which we can actually indulge in the material world, so to speak, and being material, is by kind of having a level of proximity to the hellfire, right, to Satan in a way, intentionally, which we do intentionally because we have to exist in this world but we intentionally kind of give our existence an evil character so that we can create the foundations of a Christiological redemption.
And that's what I think is going on. I think that when that guy, Samuel Bateman, is driving
around with his Bentley, or when Kenneth Copeland has these, like, you know, private jets
or they're wearing Rolexes and shit.
I think the theological power behind it for the flock is that it's almost like the old,
there's a divine quality to it because it's like
you're channeling the old testament god look how awesome and powerful and terrible my message is
you know i have all this gold and evil and worldly power that surrounds
me. I've mastered
and I've tamed the fires of hell
around my message.
Right? So it's no longer
like, yo, I'm just flexing on your bitch ass.
You know, I'm getting this Bentley, you know, whatever.
You know, cynicism.
It's more like, this is how awesome and mighty and powerful my message is, just like how God has to be kind of wicked in a way in the Old Testament and be wrathful, right, with fire and brimstone.
The proof of the mightiness of the message has to be proven through a kind of intentional,
kind of vulgar, I guess, in the real sense of the word, materialism, vulgar materialism, right?
And this is, you know, this is also why people find it easy to reconcile the brutality of American imperialism in the military with Christianity, right? This is the same thing going on.
It's channeling that Old Testament because the New Testament lacks the foundation to justify itself in the American context, more or less.
America from the outside had a very privileged and unique relation to the Old Testament.
I think that is the main theological cause behind America's attachment to Israel.
America needs Israel because Israel is the Old Testament, and America has no access to the New Testament without the Old Testament.
Do you understand?
So this is why Jews are worshipped in evangelism in the way that they are and that Israel has the special importance that it does.
You know, because we have no justification for a New Testament because we have no access to the old one because this is America, it's a completely new land and so on and so on
in the American worldview, right? And so, so, uh, that's what brings me to Las Vegas.
Okay.
So important context, Vegas is in the real America.
We are past, we are west of the Mississippi, right?
This is where America really is built as America and not as a vestige of British colonialism or European colonialism, right?
And I think what is Las Vegas?
You know, I think Samuel Bateman and Kenneth Copeland, I think that they have a profound respect for Sin City, you know?
Like, behind closed doors, you can be baptized a million times and bask yourself in the New Testament and the message of Christ, the spiritual one.
But, you know, as Marx wrote on the Jewish question, more or less, at the material level, to enjoy and to exist is to sin. And existence, as we know, through common sense, is inevitable. We do exist materially.
We subsist materially. And so the vernacular and the language in which America articulates
its material existence is through sin.
And I think the counterculture played a fucking huge role in that, right?
Yeah, baby, Vegas, yeah.
Slots, man, hookers and Coke and all this kind of.
And it's like they know it's a sin, but it's also living, man. That's how you live.
It's like there's association with material life with sin, right? And we think that's given,
but that's not true for the rest of the world, right?
It's like I recall the Chinese documentary with Marx and Confucius, and it's like they're laughing.
Like, it's kind of uncanny, like how they're just like randomly laughing. Like, what's the joke? And it's like they're laughing. Like it's kind of uncanny, like how they're just like randomly laughing.
Like, what's the joke?
And it's like, well, no, there's just kind of like this joy for life that in the Confucian ethics, like being good and ethical also corresponds to a joy.
It's like a joyousness and celebration of you know reality and living in a way you know and i think that that's true for the rest of the world that the material world is not inherently depraved or evil but we consider it to be and you know look i'm not like a decolonial scholar or anything but those libtards do kind of have a point when they talk about how this is part of like the colonial ethos and frame of mind that we created these citadels and colonial fortresses and we consider the wilderness and nature and the indigenous as like inherently depraved and evil
savages right so like that dialectic is for sure there um this dichotomy between like heaven
and earth or heaven and hell or whatever right that we impose on civilization and
on the world is there and it's baked in and i think Vegas sin city is like a spiritual capital
of america in a lot of ways you know know, it's, it's one of the
capitals of America because, um, first of all, it is the, it's a city intentionally built on,
uh, material indulgence, so to speak.
But it's not standing opposed to the Christian order.
It's regarded as a foundation, right?
So there's this uh it's like a city built on sin in order to create the old testament that justifies the new testament right and uh you and you think about the Epstein Ball Empire and like the whole thing about ball worship.
The ball worship is real, but it has nothing to do with the Canaanite ball.
It has nothing to do with the historical ball of the Carthaginians and stuff.
I think this is a ball that was invented by American evangelism itself.
You know, ball stands for the material, the warped and alienated conception of the material world that is inherent to our civilizational alienation, right? And it's like, the elites worship ball in the same way that there's a Egyptian pyramid in
Las Vegas with a sphinx.
It's just as fake and artificial, you know?
But like the theme is very much there like you look at
Vegas they have that pyramid they have this kind of like old
Babylonian theme of sin and so on and so on
indulgence and what have you but don't
when we frame this in terms of a dichotomy between,
like it's this versus the fundamentalist Christianity,
or the fake version at least,
we're playing a wrong game
because this is
this is a consequence
of
you know
evangelism.
It's not a dialectical opposite. It's a necessary opposing tension that's baked in, right?
And the only way to defeat ball so to speak is that we need our own Babylonia we need our own
story of Gilgamesh so to speak we need need our own appropriation of the material world.
Because I just found it so odd when I was watching that documentary because I was like, this guy thinks having a fucking Bentley matters.
And he's like this, he's supposed to be a prophet of God, right?
He's like, I think about myself and I'm like, I'm not impressed by that.
I'm not even a religious person claiming to be a prophet of God or whatever.
I'm not claiming I'm like a super religious person.
But like even I can live without a fucking Bentley.
Like I don't need, I don't consider that to be like the ultimate accomplishment.
Oh, you're so, you're such big shit.
Like I fucking don't think anything
of it, Bentley. But
there's like a theological
significance to the
value that we associate
with, like, expensive, stupid brand
goods. It's like, oh, my
God, this is a Gucci. It's like, oh my God, this is a Gucci.
It's like,
I look at Gucci and I'm like,
okay,
that's theology.
You're like,
this is,
you're giving this like a theological value.
It's because you could say,
oh,
it's actually like based on rare materials.
No,
it's not.
It's all fucking upmarked bullshit.
So you're, rare materials. No, it's not. It's all fucking upmarked bullshit. So it's like a brand that has
this immense power over you and this immense value. And this is not the commodity fetishes
of Marx described, by the way. Whoever says that's a fucking retarded, pseudo-intellectual. This is
something completely different we're dealing with, right?
And I'm like, you know, as a communist, a real one, at least, I'm not as impressed by the worldly as mainstream Christianity as in America.
Like, okay, Rolexes don't impress me.
I'm not intimidated by them.
I'm not intimidated by exorbitant luxury and money and all that kind of stuff.
I don't associate that with like a genuine worldly power, which is interesting to think about. Like if I was a cult leader, which I'm not saying I am or I would be.
Actually, it's kind of like a fucked up comparison.
But if I was like one of these crazy cult leaders, like I wouldn't, I wouldn't be like driving a Bentley.
I'd be like, I don't need a Bentley.
But they do need it despite claiming to be like prophets of God.
Do you guys understand what I'm saying with that?
It's like, how can you present this supposedly otherworldly divine
message, yet
simultaneously be so
intimidated and
impressed with
like
designer brands and
very conventional, um, uh, very conventional, uh, very conventional, um, rankings of value.
I feel like to be a really good cult leader,
you would change what's considered valuable.
Like, I don't know, you'd arbitrarily assign extreme value to like pop tarts.
I'm like, oh, if this guy has pop tarts, he's really like it.
You know, that's like, that's just like all cult leaders are fake.
Cult are not real.
The ultimate cult
is the cult
of the bourgeois hegemony.
The bourgeois Z is running the cult.
Because even the fucking guy
pretending to speak to God
who's a pedophile cult leader claiming that God is telling
him that he needs to take everyone's wives or whatever. It's like even he is prostrating
to symbols of value and status that are created by bourgeois civilization and culture.
Isn't that interesting?
Like, that's why cults are bullshit when you think about it because if you really want to just like create a totally new principle of society it can't
be a cult that has to involve society, right?
So, okay, I'm telling you this story because Vegas.
I like to think in a very systematic fashion.
So, like, when I first landed at the airport and I just saw a bunch of fucking slot machines everywhere, I was like, interesting.
Before I get into that, everything I'm talking about, David Lynch exposed, especially in Twin Peaks, the return.
But Twin Peaks is like dichotomy or dualism between the black and white, you know, the Black Lodge, the White Lodge and the, uh, cosmological and metaphysical principles at the heart of
reality.
It was very much about America.
And I really loved how in Twin Peaks to return, there was a kind of magical perception that what was his name, stupid the version of cooper the tulpa what was his name again who couldn't talk he had this magical perception related to gambling? He could go to the casino and kind of
into, Dougie. He can intuitively perceive which slot machines are going to, like, hit the jackpot
and which ones aren't. And it was, like, rooted in this, like, sixth sense that was very much based in this attunedness to metaphysical principles underlying reality.
And it makes you think about gambling and the kind of in the ballpark of Suhail Malik's ontology of finance.
I don't know if you've ever heard of, man.
I keep recommending people read it.
But this idea that like there's an ontology behind the gambling industry in Vegas and so on and so on. It's an entire industry.
I mean, this entire city is founded on gambling. That's crazy, right? And obviously now it's
corporate and it's totally not the true foundation is something different.
But at the root of gambling is speculation.
Now, gambling is a kind of form of irrational speculation because the math just doesn't add up no matter how you cut it but speculation is the notion that you're going to get more than you put in
fundamentally you know uh on the basis of things that are just fundamentally outside of your
control. That's what separates speculation from an industrious, successful capitalist, right?
A speculator just buys an asset and sits on it and speculates that it's going to increase in value
whereas a industrious capitalist will buy something and then put in the make actual
investments that on a like scientific basis or at least on some rational basis, are expected to yield
a surplus because it's more efficient or
something, right?
And gambling
is kind of this
this kind of
irrational this kind of uh irrational speculation but one of the interesting i'm gonna say some crazy as
shit i'm not gonna say los vegas is a is that america's first preeminent socialist city i'm not going to say Las Vegas is America's first
preeminent socialist city.
I'm not going to say that because it's fucking crazy.
But it's like
the idea of a city
entirely founded upon speculation
is really interesting, right?
Because a traditional capitalistic city is founded upon capital.
It's founded upon a specific process of the accumulation of surpluses,
which leads to the creation of real estate and the creation of, you know, service sector, restaurants,
livable city, factories, industry, and so on and so on.
Vegas, on the other hand, is a city built and founded upon speculation, right?
Gambling.
People just pouring in money with no necessarily rational expectation of getting any kind of surplus or return on it,
but a kind of false hope that they will, right?
And yet, out of that, a modern city was constructed with modern infrastructure and sewage and power grid and and you know access to water which is quite hard actually in this region of the country.
With an entire sprawling real estate industry, a livable, lived-in city with everything you can expect in a modern city.
And then, okay, the dimension of money laundering, I haven't even gotten into that, which is probably the most fundamental factor.
But I just like to think about how interesting it is that as a Marxist, cities like Vegas should worry you a little bit.
If you're going to treat them in a vacuum, right?
If you're a conventional, uncreative Marxist, I should rather say, because you can't really explain the vast profits that
exist here in terms of any labor theory of value. Now, if you understand labor theory of value,
it's aggregate, so you can't isolate it to a city, for example,
it's preposterous. But Vegas should get you thinking about Dubai. It should get you thinking
about other speculative capitals or citadel, so to speak, which are primarily driven by revenues
and profits, which cannot be explained by any
traditional structure of capital accumulation, right? And I think that's really what I'm getting at
here.
And why is it so remarkable that you have Vegas as a city founded upon speculation
in the place that it is because the entire enterprise of westward expansion and the foundation of the United States in a way, if you think about it, was a speculative venture.
Like, the expansion westward was all driven by a speculative dream, so to speak, that the value of the land is going to be worth more than it is upon discovery, right?
And... right and so it's like there's a very strong metaphysical and even theological dimension to cities like
las vegas when you think about them in those terms right theological dimension to cities like Las Vegas
when you
think about
them in
those terms
right
usually
usually
civilizations
in the
sense of classical capitalism are built upon existing material premises, but America is built upon not an existing material premise, but a speculative anticipation of those premises existing in the future,
or being created in the future, right? Can you not hear me?
What's going on?
Why is everyone freaking out?
Okay. why is everyone freaking out why the fuck is everyone freaking out you also drop a 20 or something because you know i'm just kidding i mean i don't know guys i'd appreciate it though you drop a 20 you drop something like that you know anyway guys
uh just like crab it up in here you know
uh whatever uh what was i saying
notice how when i'm like the minute i stopped talking i'm like a true sufi um
sufi teacher master because you know back in the day these sufi teachers this is how they make
money they would basically live streamers they would go village to village or whatever
they would share crazy wisdom and they'd be like we crab it up in here y'all let's grab it up
holy fuck cow with the five. Appreciate you, man.
Thank you, bro.
Appreciate you.
Bro, I will never fucking gamble in my life, right?
I'm way too stingy for that.
I'll never fucking gamble, okay?
I'd never fucking do that.
Cow, bro, thank you so much, man.
I actually appreciate that a lot.
Let me continue on the line of thought that I'm on.
Okay, now I've talked about this before, guys, but you notice how there's a, there's a proximity between speculative-driven production and socialism? Isn't socialism itself a type of speculative driven form of production because socialism puts in command not an existing material principle gold which is what money ultimately is under capitalism, right? Socialism puts in
command of production the plan, right, the five-year plan, some goal in the future that has not
yet been realized, which all of society is going to work to realize at some future point, right? Blackpack,
what's up? So maybe, appreciate you with the five, maybe there is a strange proximity between
Las Vegas and the principles that govern
socialist countries in the sense that
in the sense of speculation
being the common denominator, right?
And maybe this is what
grounds the inherent socialistic.elia thank you so much i
really appreciate it thank you this is what really grounds the foundation and basis of uh of of america's role in the ushering in of communism right in the world
because america is a speculative enterprise in and of itself gorilla what's up appreciate you man i mean like you you need to
understand like my way of thinking.
A lot of people find it schizophrenic and fucking crazy and it's outrageous. And I very much like Ibn Arabi and Wahdata of Wujud and this kind of idea that I don't have to give a fuck about made upup distinctions that are without justification, you know.
I'm going to presume, I begin with a presumption of the interconnectedness and unity of all things in a free flowing way, right?
And this is why I say, for example, I find a connection between the speculation and socialism at the level of what compels people, when they come to a city like Las Vegas, I'm not about old Vegas, right, gambling, to take money that they have and speculate it on gambling, put it, throw it in gambling, and with a irrational expectation that they're going to get more of a return than what they put in because
there's a small chance that it is possible. Well, ultimately, it's because they're pursuing a dream.
They have a fantasy or a desire in their head that is not yet justified in a way that is rationally perceptible to people
in the material world, yet they still have the dream and the desire in their head. Isn't that an
interesting thing? Desire is based on and defined by the orientation towards something that you anticipate might exist, or possibly could exist, but which you don't have now.
It's actually this reality and dimension
of desire that is responsible
for why Alexander Kojev
regarded the universal
and homogenous state to be the final
end of history right because he said
that's what is
human beings from animals.
Human beings can desire things that don't exist yet
but kind of exists somewhere in their head
or somewhere they can perceive that doesn't actually, it's not justified
anywhere in a way that we can have knowledge of immediately.
And he regarded this as a kind of imminent negativity that is at the heart of what a human being is, right?
The imposition of a nothing on a something, you know, your desire is a nothing.
It's not
actually somewhere in the real material world
yet. There are things that do
exist in the material world. You're clearing
forests. You're
clearing things that exist in nature
for the purpose of realizing something that doesn't
even exist yet.
And if you think I'm off the rails describing things in these terms, this is exactly how Marx describes human beings.
He says what separates the worst architect from the best of bees is that an architect first raises in his imagination
the object of
construction
he has something that's already there in his head before it's justified materially and mark says this is the essence of what labor is. This is what makes labor labor, the transformative process of realizing something that doesn't actually exist yet.
And there's absolutely proximity between that and speculation, you know, somebody blowing all their money in Vegas because they have a dream that they're going to get rich and wealthy and live a certain lifestyle.
Um, that they're going to get rich and wealthy and live a certain lifestyle, um,
um, is in a way the assertion of a principle of existence beyond merely the acquisition of money onto the economy, onto your
economic existence. And ultimately, the dream is having more money. You guys understand the brilliance of dialectics.
I don't have patience with small-minded, undialectical thinkers.
Because isn't it brilliant how this is how socialism emerges from capitalism, not this
Vegas or whatever, but like this specific dialectical structure of you are dreaming of money.
Okay, that's your, you're fantasizing and you're desiring having more money.
So you do things.
You pursue getting richer and wealthier because you desire money, right?
But it's like it's the very structure of desire that's in command, not the money itself.
And in this way, one economic principle becomes subordinated to another, the form of which is the same, it's still money, but the content, it changes because the
relationality is different. And this is exactly how, for example, capitalism emerges from
feudalism. The goal in feudalism was, I want to be, have more land or whatever, but the acquisition of more land only became
possible if it was through a capitalist relation, right? So, like, this is how one mode of
production emerges within an old one.
And when we're talking about speculation and desire and fantasy and so on and so on,
specifically, you see, the thing is that it's not rational that's what makes that's what subordinates the principle of capital to the principle of speculation or desire for example because if you're a true capitalist, you are a rational actor who is going to
put resources to work in a specific industrious way with the rational expectation and outcome,
almost certainty even, that your enterprise is going
to break even, that you're going to be able to accumulate capital. So your desire for money
never actually blunts your industrious sensibility of what is real and what is possible based on what
exists now, right?
And that's not true for an era of speculative economics, you know?
And people just don't appreciate that.
They just assume that the desire for money and the,
um,
the, um,
the, uh, pursuit of money are the same thing and they're not the pursuit of money and the desire for money are not the same thing okay
the desire for money is in reality a desire for a specific way of life, Lambo or whatever, but the pursuit of money is a specific economic relationship that materially exists.
It's a specific structure of economic relations. It's not necessarily a desire. It's not
necessarily a greed or a fantasy even. The root of capitalism is not greed. Greed is far too subjective. The root of capitalism is not greed.
Greed is far too subjective.
The root of capitalism is a specific relationship of production that is structured around the accumulation of capital.
And that's just the form it takes.
It's not because capitalists desire money necessarily. Okay, my battery you guys liked this lecture or whatever. I'm glad.
It's 1143 Eastern Time.
Okay, good.
Got it.
So these are the things I'm thinking about while I'm in Sin City in Las Vegas.
I'm thinking about how this is the ball capital, right?
But ball is not actually ball.
In fact, the real ball historically was originally a monotheistic deity.
Ball just meant Lord, right?
But the problem was the specific balls. There are specific. right but there were
the problem was the specific balls
there are specific balls
sorry we're talking about balls too much
there were specific balls
ball
okay specific deities with a suffix or prefix next to Baw.
So there's a, I forget their specific names, but Bahl is a very general term for Lord or God, right?
And that is the same in Hebrew or Semitic or Arabic of El or Al, right? The Arabian polytheistic deities had al, like there was Al-ezut, for example, and Hubal, for example. And the monotheistic message of the prophet was just no there's just a law and what is
a law specific characteristic he doesn't have one specifically he is the all he is the one He is the God in general, right? All polytheism is founded upon original monotheistic, you know, worship that becomes corrupted through the division of labor.
And God as one is the integral totality of labor.
God encompasses all these different characteristics. But as the division of labor specializes and increases, there's attributes and aspects of God that are treated as separate from the one God, right? And then this is how God is divided, right? So monotheism corresponds to a restoration of the integrity of the totality of labor.
Whereas the principle of private property is rooted in the continuation of the divide of the division of labor, so to speak, to be simple.
Right.
So, Baal, it's the same as, for example, in Sumerian, it was N, right?
There you had N key. You had various different deities and the main root word or whatever was N. You know, Anu was the primordial monotheistic deity and then from there you had the specialization of different
terms and names by the way most polytheistic deities in eurasia with the increased integration of civilizations and expansion of trade routes and contact between different peoples, were mutually recognized as the same deity, right? So, for example, Ishtar and a start from the Phoenicians and Inana from the Sumerians and Venus for the Romans and Aphrodite for the Greeks.
Everyone just reckoned.
This is the same cosmological principle we're referring to, right?
All of which corresponded to a specific celestial alignment or pattern and that was basically a principle of language for example how do how do languages become mutually
intelligible right if you're spanned or let's say you're you're from a different planet you speak a
different language right you have water so I call it water you it something else, but we recognize it's the same thing, right?
But are we talking about the same thing?
Well, it's the same thing when it comes to the development of metaphysics and religion
and philosophy and all these other kind of things, right?
And polytheistic pantheons, you know, it's simply a language distinction.
But the discovery of a common principle based on that so that's something people miss a lot you know one of the things i i looked up which are pretty pretty fucking weird actually i remember, studying this.
So, you know, suppose, so, so Istar, which is the kind of specific principle of the mother, mother kind of mother Gaia, mother goddess
principle.
You could say
sophianic in a way that would be
compatible with
Abrahamic traditions.
But this kind of like feminine divine feminine whatever notion that corresponds to the ultimate rhythms and cycles of nature and of human societies in their predictability and sedentary cycles or whatever,
always corresponds to the planet Venus, right, the morning star.
And I kind of find it strange how in the Aztec cosmology, the Morning Star is, for some reason, associated with similar principles, cosmological principles, as the Sumerian Inana, right? It's also true for Mars, and so I couldn't find anything about other celestial bodies but that one specifically the morning star it's like similar qualities and characteristics are being attributed to it which could not be explained by mutual contact. So if there's no mutual
contact, why are they giving this celestial phenomena similar kind of metaphysical
principles and characteristics
which is kind of a pretty good case for astrology
when you think of like if the astrology, if there's any kind of
parallel between the astrology of a people
on one side of the world and another who never contacted each other, then maybe they are onto something when they're attributing certain characteristics to certain celestial phenomena, you know?
I don't know. Just the thought.
Just food for thought, you know.
I think the dumbest explanations are the alien one, ancient aliens.
But it's like I could see why people think that. Because ultimately, you guys want to know what's fucking scary.
Every religion, when they're talking about heaven heaven they're talking about whatever's in the sky
like the sky is always the opening in all human religion since the beginning of time
the sky is the opening to our access to the higher order.
And it's like there's this common axis mundi. Below us is where bad and demonic things are and above us is where there is the good or there's the divine there's the beyondness the otherworldly literally right and uh that's like universal completely universal
right like nobody worships below it's always the above the beyond with no specific understanding that this is there are
other worlds out there right nobody actually fucking knows that but um the sky you know is always
associated with the divine when the bible and the koran and so on and so on when
they talk about heaven they're literally talking about heaven like they're not talking about
they're not talking about a cloudy dimension where there's clouds they're literally talking about the fucking stars above us, right?
Um... and that's the beyond right also the the ancient uh the the rhodestrian the root of regarding fire with the ritual purity that it has in the Zoroastrian religion is that fire burns upwards.
So it's this kind of phenomena which is oriented up, right?
And this is what makes fire associated with Ahura Mazzda versus ahreman do you think joe biden has a chance in
twenty twenty seven uh do you think you owe me ten subs for saying that
it's like but to circle back on what i'm talking about um ahri man or sorry, I don't believe the alien thing at all, but I understand why people might, if they're stupid. But it is profound that there was already like an intuitive understanding that outer space is a great beyond
you know with shit in it we never how could we know what stars were? How could we possibly understand that, right?
But the sky is this kind of phenomenal opening, this kind of space of ontological disclosure to us, right?
It's quite profound, actually.
It's like when animals acquire the ability to speak and acquire self-relation, which only we humans have, self-relation. No other being in existence that we know of has that.
The first thing we do is start orienting ourselves toward beyond, right?
Toward the stars, toward the heavens.
It's just quite interesting.
If you think about it in like the Russian Cosmist sense that we have like this inherent destiny to orient ourselves to the beyond right it's like on this planet earth when living beings the moment they acquire self-relation the moment they acquire what we call consciousness i don't like
that term but self-relationality right the moment we acquire that the moment living organisms acquire
that the first thing that they open themselves to and become oriented toward is the starry heaven above, right?
And I think that could even be a definition of humanity.
The human is different from animals because only human beings care about the beyond they only they care about the stars really birds don't give a fuck about that maybe they do and just they just take it for granted or something but we alone care about the stars right Something that provides us with no utility necessarily beyond,
of course, actually profound utility actually. It's kind of a stupid thing to say. Because, no,
they do provide us utility. They're a great map.
The stars are our map of the world, right?
In the beginning, the ability to migrate and track migrations and so on and so on very much was rooted in looking at the sky to know where we are right our sense of space comes from space space in the abstract actually comes from our gazing upon space right the
comprehension that we dwell within a world we are here you know
that there that it is a space right that it is a space, right? That it is a dimension. We only are able to kind of first acquire a relationship or an awareness to that because we can look up at the stars above right that is the ontological dimension let me check the battery
can
simply end this because the battery
we are running upon
I am not able to charge this
midstream 12%
because occupying the USBC port is the microphone thingy, right?
The thing that makes the microphone possible.
So without the USBC port, I can't have a microphone
I would love to continue collecting donations
and just streaming but we are running out of time
wireless charge that?
I don't know how to do that.
I do not know how to do that.
Also, we are crooked as fuck.
Guys, isn't it interesting how when I travel,
I can come up with an interesting topic to talk about,
even if I'm not at my stream?
I hear I was thinking I couldn't, but I really could, right?
You just got to give me a round of applause for that phone mic stream once we do a phone mic stream
okay uh well it's not free guys if you want me to continue... No, I'm just kidding.
I could continue.
Don't worry.
No problem.
Guys, I don't like how I just... I'm squeezing everyone dry.
This is fucking crazy. crazy lion oh what's up
you guys are too generous you guys are honestly too generous to me i'll critique you for that

Okay.
Can we be clear about that?
If you're in any way, like if you in any way need this, if you're like, you have a family,
you like, you don't ever fucking spend a dime on me.
Okay.
I appreciate my army and my soldiers because you get the, you have the message and you have the belief okay there's
no money that can change belief and i appreciate you guys a lot for donating to me but to be
fucking clear like i never want anyone who actually doesn't have
money to squander bro I stress Annie thank you so much for the 10 I never want anyone who
actually doesn't have money to squander to be spending money on me for real okay don't
ever fucking feel guilty if you're not spending money on me for real okay don't ever fucking feel guilty if you're not spending money on me
like you know thank you so much trails danny and it's like guys, if ultimately you can no longer afford to support the streams,
I will find a way to support myself.
Like, don't worry about that, all right?
I don't want you.
And nobody should ever be fucking guilt-tripped into donating to me, to be clear.
All right?
I'm going to be fucking real about that.
Bro, don't even make an excuse.
You don't need an excuse.
You're like, I'm unemployed.
Bro, don't fuck.
You don't have to say shit, bro.
As long as you're part of this army as long as you're part of this fucking cause
you are a soldier in this cause
like you have my recognition
you understand
money my recognition you understand money is not money will money is money you know if i truly became broke, I would, I believe I could find a way, you know, I believe I could do something.
But, uh, what's invaluable is the unity of this community ultimately Oh, man. Oh man
I didn't sleep last night
But I don't give a fuck
I don't give a fuck
I got the energy
Yo I was souss. What's up, bro?
Let me check the battery and see if I got to replace this.
8%.
All right
Goodbye with this microphone
I mean once if it's just like bearable
because the mic is gone
Once if it's bearable Because the mic is gone.
Once, if it's bearable... Alright, I appreciate that, because I feel fucking bad about the shitty quality.
But if it's bearable...
I literally don't even have time to plug this shit in
holy fuck i'm scared

When I was growing up, I remember on YouTube, there was a version of this song with, like, Hitler.
It was like a compilation of Hitler.
And for some reason, this song was like, it was like a music video for the song but it was like Hitler footage
it's like Hitler giving speeches and shit
that's what I grew
bro YouTube used to be fucking crazy
you guys remember the angry German kid
remember that kid remember that
i'm sorry to
i remember when i was like in middle school
we used to laugh because there was a version of the angry
german kid overlaid on a hitler speech
and it was like hitler and the audio was the angry German kid.
Who remembers that shit?
Who remembers that shit?
Did anyone remember that? used to be fucking wild
and nobody knew what he was saying
it is funny the the part where he's like, remember the part where he's like,
ooh!
And it's like, it shows Hitler doing like this, like, ooh, like, I don't know.
It overlaid well. Very much used to be a red lib brought me around to understand the acity point of view and listening
keel of the struggle thank you bro appreciate that uh appreciate that man I almost
Zop on Zy Mike
that content doesn't exist anymore
everything became serious when people started
becoming real fans of Hitler, you know?
All the joke content ended.
YouTube centered it.
Ah! Oh.
Isn't it funny how many celebrities I've just come across in my time.
Like, remember Zirka's dreams where, uh, the epic bacon guy or epic meal time?
What was his name?
Just like randomly there.
He's like randomly one of the characters on the Zirko podcast that I'd be on all the time.
Yeah, I remember Dead Mouse just randomly?
Remember on the Zirko podcast where like anytime somebody knew would join, I just start clowning on them, being like mean as fuck.
And then like randomly, Dead Mouse joined.
And I would just be like, fuck it, you know, just another guy.
And I would like be like, I would roast him just like anyone else.
He's like, all right, it's deadpore.
I don't know why he's here.
Like, but Zerka, like, knew all these fucking people.
I don't even know how he knew these people.
Yeah.
I told Deadmouse, he made bad music.
What the fuck, bro.
Bro, I was so manic at that time on Twitch.
I was so fucking manic that like nothing surprised me anymore.
Like even if the president joined the stream, I'd be like doing my sway
I'd be like
Fuck are you you stupid ass old bitch fuck you
I'd be like nobody can get in my
I didn't give a fuck bro
I didn't give a fuck about shit
I was manic as fuck
I was like I was manic as fuck.
I was like a clean sword rippling through time.
Because I was just suddenly becoming famous and viral.
And when you go from like not being well known to being super famous, you'd no longer like give a fuck about anything. You're like,
you're like, dead mouse? Who the fuck are you?
Would you have PewDiePie on your stream? Like, what opportunity would I ever have to have that?
You know?
What opportunity would I have to... Zerka's related to this.
I don't know, bro.
That's crazy.
Yeah, what the fuck, Tobuscus. Yeah, what the fuck?
Tobuscus.
Okay, so Jake Shields put out the debate offer.
Tobuscus was like randomly there.
You all saw that?
Tobuscus is like randomly replying.
Like, bro, what?
What's going on?
Yeah, Tobuscus wanted to debate me.
Which we should make happen.
I mean, like, why?
I don't know.
Or maybe he said he wanted to watch the debate.
I don't know.
Tobuscus was there, though.
That's all I know.
And then remember how I literally muted him i thought he deleted his account but
turns out i muted him and i forgot about it remember mark pellegrino the actor from lucifer
the literal lucifer from the show he became so active in my replies it's like we just interact to him with one time okay
first of all the lore is crazy somebody's got to make a wiki of this shit to keep track all right
because i remember debating him
and then he's like
what's the legal code for your party?
And I just read off some random numbers.
And then he put on his glass. He's like, okay,
I'm looking it up right now. Six,
four, two.
The trolling was fucking crazy, right?
But then after that debate, he's in my Twitter replies.
Like every day, every other day, he's in my fucking replies, right?
And it's like
he became so prolific
in my notifications
that I fucking muted
Mark, Mark Pellegrino. The actual
fucking Hollywood actor, Mark Pellegrino.
I just muted him. I was like,
bro,
what is this world that I live in?
You know?
It's such a small world.
Like,
I'm muting Mark Pellegrino.
Why is he in my replies?
I'm literally a nobody.
There's so many random characters
that interact with me.
And I'm never surprised when it happens.
I'm just like, well, I guess we're all just floating through the void, like the Buddhists say.
We're all on a journey
through the stars
and you're just bound to run
into some
fucking random people
uh, uh mr beast has interacted with orvo before by the way that's happened for some reason that's actually happened mr Mr. Beast has interacted with Orville.
There's a lot of lore in this community, for sure.
Like Mr. Beast knows who we are.
I guarantee you with the RACP is is there's going to be
Hollywood TV shows
and movies
inspired by ACP
like we're going to be
like the villains
and some fucking TV show
100%
or some video game
this is something or some video game.
This is something, I'll tell you something I learned.
The world of politics is very small.
So like the main celebrities might be celebrities when it comes to like movies or singing or some shit right but like everyone is in the same algorithm so it's like if people are interested in communist ideas they know who
the fuck I am right if people are interested in communist discourse they know who I am I am, right? If people are interested in communist discourse, they know who I am.
People are interested in Marxist discourse.
They know who I am.
Like, this is a very small world, right?
We may not be famous in the sense of, like, we're known to all these normies, but we are famous, two famous people.
Like, they do know who we are because there's, there's, the space of politics is just too small for us to not be known, you know?
Like people who are into online politics know who we are, by and large, right?
Let me check something.
All right. We'll keep going.
Chuck Schumer knows.
We have it confirmed that Chuck Schumer knows who we are.
Why does Chuck Schumer know who we are?
Should I spoil that?
Okay, Chuck Schumer uses the CPUSA for backroom diplomacy with a certain country and Chuck Schumer is very invested in bringing the ACP down because if we become the preeminent Communist Party in America officially, then his diplomatic channel is gone, which he uses through the CPUSA.
Yeah, the ports, when we were organizing at the ports, he was informed about it for some reason
and he was very worried about it
and it's probably because he's
connected to the
big businesses
over there
who make money off of it and lobby the
Democrats, but it's also because he has a vested interest in making sure the CPUSA is preeminent officially because he uses that as a diplomatic channel with a certain country.
Allegedly. Could I ever get on Tucker Carlson?
I don't know.
I mean, maybe.
If I made it my goal, I could.
I don't know if that's the goal I should have.
For example, can I say this truth?
First book that I put out,
I'm going on a fucking media rampage.
Soon as my book is done.
I'm gonna go on Tucker.
I'm fucking,
I'll go everywhere.
I'll go on book tours.
I'm gonna be fucking viral as fuck.
I don't want to be viral right now
because I don't have the book.
As soon as I have a fucking book,
I'm going to go viral as fuck.
Don't worry.
There is something I'll tell you about Zerka, right?
He used to tell me, bro, don't worry.
I'm going to go viral when I feel like it.
I'm like, bro, you're wasting your potential. What are you doing? This was before he became viral. He's like, no, don't worry about it.
When I, when the time comes, I'll do it. I don't feel like it right now. And then, you know,
lo and behold, when when like a year later
when he actually felt like it
or when the time was right for him
he actually fucking like took the internet by storm
and now everybody found out who he was
like he became viral as fuck right
so it's like um i don't worry about that
because like i see i know how it works like you don't have to you don't have to like worry about
cloud chasing or anything when your time comes it'll come
uh in the sense that like when it feels right for you it doesn't feel right from you right now
you know
Zerka said you told him in private that you thought he used black magic to go viral.
I think it's probably a combination of that and just strong intuitions.
He definitely, like, very much...
Like, when he went viral viral it didn't surprise me
but you know what's fucking scary
it didn't surprise him either
like he knew what he was doing
I don't know what to tell you like
I saw him when he was going viral as fuck
and it's like
it didn't surprise me but it also didn't surprise him
like it never got to his head he was never like oh my god i'm going so viral he was very like smoothly
just like yeah i know what i'm doing i know i'm going viral this was always meant to be and it's like that's why that's why there's
like a black magic vibe to it you know i do have that clarity.
That's the thing.
I have that same clarity, which is why I know.
I don't want to go super viral until I have a book.
When I have a book, I will go fucking viral as fuck.
And can I tell you guys why? because the book will be my independence when i go super fucking viral without a book i'm going to get all sorts of deals
and like sponsorship offers and things like that,
I don't want to depend on any of that.
I want to have a book that I'll have that's like,
this is the bedrock and foundation of my thinking.
First of all,
which is the most important thing.
Second of all,
I'll always have the independence to be like, I'm not going to depend on
a sponsorship or a deal or anything like that. I will just sell the book, right?
Why are you saying that about true anon what are you talking about true anon what do you mean by that true anon's going to attack acp why were you going to like did they are they saying they are or something?
I mean, I don't know.
I mean, whatever they say, I hope they back it up with evidence and shit, because if they do some shit that is, you know, if we genuinely get harmed by it, which I can't see how we would.
But if we do, we will fucking take legal action if they're lying about us.
100% we will.
So it better be, it better be, uh, better be factually
accurate
we'll just straight up
take legal action if they fucking lie about us
not some stupid bullshit
I'm the bullshit.
But look, the more people find out about us, the better it is for us.
It's just the law.
You know? Yeah. you know barnaby but why are you saying they're they're doing that information
like we're we're doing that. Like, we're, we're getting that information. I'm fucking hungry. I'm fucking hungry.
Is Dugan a glowie?
Why would he be, you know?
I've seen no evidence or I've never had any reason to think.
Yeah, I'm the George Ramar. I get that.
I understand.
Yo, Barnaby, are you like ignoring me, bro?
Like, what's going on?
Are you just speculating that
or is there,
like,
a reason you're saying
that?
Bro,
like,
Barnaby is just,
like,
is ignoring my question.
It's crazy.
Someone in really was talking about Chapo, not mentioning you, and it got me thinking about
other podcasts.
Oh, yeah, true.
I think most of them are playing the thing, like we don't want to give them clout.
That's really what it is.
Okay. want to give him clout. That's really what it is. Will the book have pictures? Like,
what a stupid-ass question. Because he talked with Jiang, that's Sneiko's fault.
Can we just, like, not reduce Dugan to being, like, a streamer or a tweeter? Can you like read him?
Ah. The biggest black pill about writing a book is that Dugan's written a bunch of books and people only judge him based on his tweets and not what he's written.
And it'll be the same thing for me, right?
We should talk to Sneko.
Okay, can I fucking... I get the strong impression that Sneako does not fuck with us.
Flying ant, bro, with the tent,
thank you so much, man.
I get the strong impression
he just does not fuck with us.
I don't know why,
but, like,
I really get the impression
he just doesn't fuck with us.
And I don't really care about why.
You want to understand my intuitions.
I think Sneko is cool with Jackson.
Yeah, he's cool with Jackson for sure.
But, like, I kind of feel like he doesn't fuck with us and i don't know why it is
but i don't care i mean to each to each their own. I don't...
I don't really care.
Like, it's not an issue.
No, Sniko has never fucked with us.
Like, bro, I remember when I was streaming with Jackson and Zirka,
Zirka brought in Sneko into the stream.
And then Sneko was like, I think he thought I was Jewish or something.
Tanky, what's up
and he was like
ever since
then
he's been
sketched out
as fuck
he was like
he was like
he was like
sketched out
his book
uh he I don't think about a of so I don't I don't think about AOS I don't believe that
I think you guys are overthinking that shit
Sneako bro Jake Shields is I literally just did a podcast with Jake Shields
Why are you saying he doesn't fuck with us Jake Shields I literally just did a podcast with Jake Shields. Why are you saying he doesn't fuck with us? Jake Shields, I literally just met him. He does fuck with us. Jake Shields does fuck with us. Like, he just didn't know us that well. He knows us through Eddie already and Jackson. And then I literally just had a two-hour podcast with him, which was very good.
You're saying, why the fuck would Jake Shields not fuck with us?
That's like retarded to say.
He's Jewish?
I don't know.
When is it coming out?
I actually don't know. I am it coming out? I actually don't know.
I am going to be streaming with Jake Shields tomorrow on his
kick channel. So you guys should make it. I'll definitely ask you.
You should look forward to that.
Crout? Bro, I don't care about European Larpers, bro.
I just don't care.
Why do Europeans think they're the fucking gatekeepers and masterminds behind all, like, political philosophy and theory?
I never understood that.
It's like, okay, but at the end of the day,
you guys literally are in the EU, which is like you have no sovereignty. What are you talking about?
Are you going to the V-Day event? Volk, yes, I am, bro. I am.
And I hope you are there as well.
You may also... All right.
That would be sick
Barnaby with the 10 bro
