Speaker 1 (00:31):
Wallet, sweet eternal balance of all that is good, true,
and beautiful. Friends, Welcome back to Rogue Ways, where tonight
we're talking about pride, global pride, in fact, pride all
around the world, and the still very powerful delusion that

(00:52):
there is LGBTQ oppression in the United States. And so
we'll be dispelling some of those myths. Ideally, I will
share some things just in case there's people who are
really stupid listening to this. One of the things I'll
share is that for a while I was a lesbian.
And I say that I should say that with quotations

(01:13):
because I genuinely believed I was a lesbian, and I
made out with and had girls, you know, women partners,
and was sexual with them. To some degree. AH always
tell a story of like, when I actually got to
the vagina, I was like, eh, what, I don't actually lesbian,
I think, you know, but the idea of dating women
was not disgusting to me. It was just the sexual

(01:35):
act that was so, you know, which is true if
you're not sexually attracted to women. So I just realized
that that was not actually what was going on for me.
And I say this well just to indicate that if
I were a lesbian, I'd be happy with it. I'd
be fine with it. I've had plenty of gay and
lesbian friends over the years, very very very very close friends,
and one of my best friends both gay and lesbian,

(01:58):
and you know, and then then I've been les you
and myself. I thought, so absolutely none of what you
hear tonight is coming from some place of where I
have some sort of problem with or issue with being
gay or lesbian or bisexual or any other sort of
consensual adult arrangement. Like I don't care at all. In fact,
my poot mainly is that nobody does. There is nobody

(02:19):
who cares, so that I actually think that's one of
the problems that some modern gay people have is that
nobody actually cares at all about any of it. And
there is a strong victim mentality though, and there is
a strong delusion of oppression that still goes on in
the United States especially, and so I can see that,
and I actually was, you know, sort of i'll say,

(02:40):
empowered to speak about any of it, which I had
noticed for many years, but kind of felt like I
had to be quiet about, which I think most people
feel because you know, somebody, inevitably, if not everybody, is
going to attack you for being homophobic if you point
out any discrepancy or any sort of you know, logical

(03:00):
point or any sort of truth that the outwardly pride
community seems to show. Like if you question any of that,
then you're a hateful person, is how the story goes.
And it's not true at all. I mean it's like
very very obviously not true, but that's how the story goes.
So that you can be lambassad and you can be

(03:20):
shut up, you can be silenced by the hate arati,
which is actually much more on the sort of like leftist,
mainstream media, mainstream corporate DEI side of things, the dominant
culture in our country than anywhere else. There's actually where
most of the hate comes from and my experience, if

(03:41):
you're going to be silenced by someone, it's going to
come from that side. If you're going to be angrily
attacked for saying something you hold to be true in
your mind or your heart, the hate's going to come
from that side. And that just seems obvious again, right,
But yeah, So I've been empowered to speak about some
of them and to be more honest about my own
perceptions about some of this because I have some very

(04:04):
brave gay men, and I think it has to be
gay men actually who come out first and say, like, actually,
we're being ridiculous and we should probably get real. I
think it has to be just like in some other
cases of privilege, and this is definitely a privileged class
in this country, in other cases of privilege, it has
to be the sort of person of privilege who says

(04:24):
hold on a second right, because if anyone else does,
they're silenced and said to be hateful and discriminated against. Actually,
so like the most hateful, discriminatory group actually seems to
be coming from that sort of side of things, that
cultural construct in my experience, and it had to be
gay men who kind of broke this down, broke that

(04:45):
barrier so that other people I think could speak. And
if you want to know who I'm talking about, you
can go look it disaffected Joshua slocom In no way
am I saying I'm representing his views. I'm not well
versed enough in his exact views to do so. I
just use a gay man who's been honest in some
ways that have been very helpful for me. And also
Daniel de la Fay has another if you want to

(05:07):
find him again, not representing his views, not saying that
I could just some gay men that I think we're
honest enough that it was allowed me to be more
honest about my own experiences too. But what I'm talking
about doesn't have to do just with gay men. Lesbians
is bisexual, and unfortunately, I'll say unfortunately also that somehow
has come to include trans people. And I say that

(05:28):
because it should be very clear to anyone paying attention
that the trans community is not the gay community. There
may be some overlap, but they are not the same
communities at all. They haven't had the same struggles, they
haven't had the same experiences, they haven't had the same impressions,
they haven't had the same bout and anything. Nothing is
actually very similar at all between them, but we lumped

(05:50):
them together for some reason, and that's not quite fair
to trans people, and it's not quite fair to gay people.
There's plenty of gay people who are not in any
way okay with what's been going on with this whole
trains issue. There's plenty of gay people who in no
way are okay with transing children or having sexual ideology
be anywhere near children. There's plenty of gay people who

(06:11):
are not okay with men alleging to be women, competing
in women's sports and taking away women's private spaces and
women's achievements. Right, There's plenty of gay people who are
in no way supportive of any of that. So to
lump this whole to, you know, categorically lump these people together,
is also pretty dishonest. It's not realistic, and there's a

(06:31):
lot of people who aren't happy with it, and I
don't think enough people point that out. I don't think
enough people talk about it, And I think it's important
for people to hear and to say and to know,
you know, there's plenty of gay people who do love
all the trance stuff too, So I'm just pointing out
there's a large percentage that are like, this is not
our fight, this is not what we were fighting for.
We weren't fighting to cut up children and steal women's spaces.

(06:54):
So so that's true too, right, And you know the
side of the inclusiveness victim mentality sort of leftist, you know,
and we'll just call that Pride from here forward, the
Pride community. They will pretend as though this is a
monolithic community. They'll pretend as though it is a settled

(07:17):
understanding that everyone shares, and they'll pretend as though any
deviation from their mainstream narrative is hateful. And that's all delusional,
that's all delusionals, it's very clearly not true. So again,
these are just some important things to sort of lay
down before we even get into it today. In my opinion,
so again, I love people. I don't care who people

(07:41):
have sex with as consenting adults. I don't care if
people claim to be men or women as an adult,
I don't care if people cut up their bodies in
any way at all. As an adult, I don't care
what clothes people wear as adults. None of that concerns
me at all. And I think I share that view
with the vast majority of adults human beings actually on earth.

(08:03):
You know that there are some loud people who do care,
and there's very few of them, and there's much more
of them in other countries than there are here. And
otherwise there's almost no organizations, there's no governmental authorities, there's
no corporations. There's nobody in the US who is holding

(08:24):
a line of actual hate at all. And what they're
calling hate is usually the people who won't bake a
cake and the people who don't want to cut up children.
And if you actually get into any of those things
and you see is their hate here, the answer is
not even a tiny bit. In fact, the people who
don't want to cut up children are coming from a

(08:45):
place of deep, deep love for children, and the people
who don't want to bake you a gay cake just
have a difference in belief in you. You imagine for
a moment that someone came to you and asked you
to do something that deeply violated who you believe you
are as a spiritual being and your relationship with God.

(09:06):
They asked you to deeply violate and betray that. Would
you because I wouldn't And We could talk all day
about whether or not we think it's fair or cool
right if a cake place does or doesn't bake this,
But just get down to that question. Do you think
it's okay to ask someone to deeply violate their belief

(09:27):
in who they are and their relationship to their soul
and to God? Do you think that's okay to do?
And if you answer yes, it's okay, there's actually something
wrong with you, not the cake baker. You have a problem.
That you would want someone to deeply violate themselves so

(09:49):
that you can eat a cake is crazy. You're probably
on the cluster being narcissistic, so geopathic side of things.
You have deep, deep healed wounds, and there's something wrong
with you. A normal person would say, oh, you have
this deeply held belief about yourself. I could get a

(10:11):
cake somewhere else. In fact, the vast majority of places
that make cakes are happy to make this cake for me,
So I don't have to force you, who it will
deeply harm, to make me a cake. I mean, that's
hateful to me if you're going to force that person
to make you a cake. So those are the only

(10:32):
real issues we even have seen, right, And the other issues,
they're not very real and we'll get into that. So

So this is the first year in a long time
that Pride, you know, being Pride Month. I probably should
have mentioned that first, Maybe I did, I don't remember,
but it is Pride Month officially We're in June twenty
twenty five now, and Pride, for the first time I

(12:42):
think in a long time, if not ever, has faced
these giant budget shortfalls this year. Many corporations have pulled
their support ahead of the summer festivities, and you know,
some people think that's really unfortunate. I think they had
a great run. I mean it's been since like what
the mid nineties that we've been having bigger and bigger

(13:03):
and bigger Pride parades in every single city in the country. Basically,
that's pretty amazing. You got, you got decades out of
this and so and and then at the beginning you
could have even argued there was a really you know,
need for this sort of and now you can't really
argue that there's no you know, all the reasons that
would have been made Pride parades necessary have long since

(13:28):
been not true. You know, it's back in the nineties,
there's not really an Internet. There's not really you know,
there was still a lot of actual lack of acceptance
of gay people, and we didn't have gay marriage. Like
all of these things were true. So you could argue,
you know, whether you or I ideologically agree with it
or not, you could make the argument would make sense
to say you needed it. Gay people needed to see

(13:51):
that there were other gay people. They needed to understand
they weren't crazy. You know that we needed to kind
of expand awareness or acceptance. You could make those argument.
You can't make that argument now. There isn't a gay
person anywhere in this country who doesn't understand that there's
tons of other gay people and that for the vast
majority of people completely accept them. That's not a gay

(14:13):
person in the world. If you don't know that as
a gay person. Again, that's a you problem, not a
reality problem. Like there there is nothing but acceptance. Gay
marriage is legal, it civil you doing at the very
least is legal. You know, even our presidents now are
pro gay, which has never been true. This is like
one of those things that people don't want to admit.

(14:34):
But Donald Trump was the first openly pro gay president
we've ever had, so, like, even the highest office is
openly pro gay.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
That was not true of Barack Obama. Everybody loves Barack Obama,
but he wasn't pro gay. It was anti gay marriage.
Joe Biden was anti gay marriage. Nobody wants to talk
about that. For some reason. We're not allowed to. But
that's true. So even at the highest levels, we have
this acceptance. Again, every major corporation, all of a sudden

(15:04):
in June, they've got rainbow logo. Like everybody's pro gay
all the time, everywhere, every major media outlet, everybody, it's
everywhere all the time. All the stores have gay things
in them. You know, there's nowhere that's like full of
shame or hatred like suppression of the gay identity. So
you can't really argue we need this. And so you know,

(15:25):
it's sad to some people that these corporations are pulling
their support for these pride parades. But the truth is that,
like people don't really care. Nobody cares. No, everybody's like, yeah,
you're gay, Okay, we get it, Like we've gotten it
for thirty years. Like I mean, you could have a prey.
Nobody cares about that either, but like you don't. You
don't just get to like pull down massive funding forever

(15:46):
for every movement. That's always true, right, you did Black
Lives Matter long enough, nobody even donate anymore, so they'd
be like, yeah, we all get it. Black lives matter,
like okay, right, It's just not something that goes on forever,
you know. But this article and every article you can
basically find on it paints this as some sort of
a reaction to Donald Trump allegedly being homophobic, which again

(16:11):
is like laughably untrue. He's the first openly gay president
we've ever had. He's never said a single thing against
gay people, maybe in his life, but at least not
in his political career or in his open business career.
Like you can't find it. There's nothing like that. And
the other thing they're facing, or they're saying, is is
what why these corporations are pulling this funding is because

(16:34):
of DEI being cut. But it's unfortunate that people are
ignorant enough that they have no idea what that means.
Like genuinely, people believe that DEI being cut means that
like there won't be wheelchair ramps, or that we suddenly
can discriminate against black people. I Like, there's that stupid.
And maybe they're not stupid, but they're low iq enough

(16:57):
that they just believe anything that any random meme hold them,
or something right or some editorial somewhere told them, because
there's no factual truth to any of that. But this
is like a very strong prominent belief amongst the people
who think some sort of attack against gay people is happening.
It's not. DEI was just a way to force the

(17:19):
hiring in a very lopsided way of women and other minorities.
That's it. It wasn't an anti discrimination. It was actually
forced discrimination against white people and especially white men. And again,
whether you ideologically agree with either side of that, that

(17:40):
is what it was. But people think it's like now
we can't have braille signs or something like, it's really weird.
So we still have all the same protections of of
you know, at risk groups or you know, all the
same equality standards, like all the things we fought for
and silver and all the things you're worried about, they're

(18:01):
still there. We just don't have this lopsided, you know,
dis disproportionate force hiring of supposedly minority or at risk groups.
That's all the removal of DEI is. So the removal
of d I would by no means force people to
stop funding pride parades. Now, some people are arguing that

(18:22):
part of the DEI budget of major corporations was used
to fund pride parades and other LGBTQ sorts of you know,
extra community groups, and that could be true, so cutting
funding for DEI might have actually affected them in that way.
But way before DEI existed, because DEI is only about
four or five years old, guys, I don't know again

(18:44):
if anybody remembers that, but that's not very old. Way
before DEI, we had full funding of pride and pride
events long before that by corporate and business partnerships in
every city. So to pretend that di I somehow took
that away too is also ridict What is actually more
likely happening is that people are just done being overly gay,

(19:06):
Like just yeah, we get it, you're gay. Cool. We
don't actually need a parade anymore. Again, you can have one.
You can actually go make a pride anywhere you want,
any time of the year you want, and it'd be fine.
Nobody would care, nobody would attack you. You might not
get funding for it. I'll tell you a secret. You
might not know this. There's also a much reduced funding

(19:28):
for all parades all throughout the United States. This has
nothing to do with whether it's gay or DEI or
President Trump eats sushi or not. It's just that people
are done funding these things unless they find genuine value
in it, and right now values are unclear. Nobody is

(19:48):
quite sure what they want to put their money into
or not into, because a lot of things are shifting.
But also times are a bit tough for some people.
They don't have as much money to give to these things.
So veterans parades are lower, you know, Memorial to Day parades,
Fourth of July parades, parades that we've had forever, there's
a lot less of them. There's a lot less funding
for the ones we have left. That's been a trend

(20:10):
for eighty years. This is just the sort of end
of a long trend that we're seeing. We're all sorts
of things like this decline. I hope we bring them back.
I think parades in general, community events in general, these
types of things are wonderful. I think it's a little
bit narcissistic and insane to just pick one very small

(20:33):
sexual orientation to celebrate. That seems crazy to me, but
you know, if you need to do it. But if
we were, if I were going to have my drithers,
I'd say, yeah, we need more parades, but it needs
to be about things that we're all sort of connected to.
And our sexuality is like the least important thing about
us gay, straight, by or anything else, you know. But

(20:54):
we're all connected, for example, to our region. We're all connected,
for example, to some sort of identity. You have some
sort of political structure, whether it's your local city or
your county or your stage, you know, something that you're
a part of. We're all connected to various sort of
traditions in our regions. You know, there's some specific foods

(21:15):
or different you know, dances or styles of music that
are in different areas. Like all those things are super cool,
that'd be great to celebrate. So anyways, parade prides are down.
Funding for them is down. But the reasons that the
corporate media is telling you they're down or not the
reasons they're down. This is not a hateful thing. This
is not an oppression thing. This is just a very

(21:36):
natural end of a really long, really good run. And
also it mimics all the other reductions in parade support
all over the country. So what are you going to
say that we hate every other type of parade the
people that are represented by them do? I doubt it, right,
I doubt you're going to say that. So maybe you
can also consider whether it's actually true with parade parades

(21:59):
or not. Another example is here in Boise, they had
their annual Pride kick off and they canceled it because
there was insufficient attendance. So again people are pretending this
has something to do with Trump or with trans things
or something, which again is a little bit insane to me.

(22:23):
You think that many people went to Pride parades before
but stopped going because of Trump. I don't think you
understand people. No, nobody's gonna stop going to an event
they previously enjoyed because Trump said something about trans people
that doesn't even make sense actually, And some people are like,

(22:47):
it's a climate of fear. I have not met anyone
who's afraid to be gay or go to a gay
Pride parade, but I've met plenty of people who are
afraid to say what I'm saying right now. That's way
more you know, like extremely look down upon and likely
to be attacked then whether or not you're carrying a

(23:08):
rainbow flight or standing at a Pride parade. And so
people don't care, they don't want to go to the
prie pary because they're like, yeah, yeah, everybody's proud and
you're great, and you're allowed to be gay, And we've
been saying this for decades, and like, do we get
to stop saying it at some point? Or like do
you ever just like take care of your own needs?

(23:28):
But do you just have to have the whole world
constantly paying attention to you. I think you might be
able to let go of this and just move on.
There's no way we're going back on this, Like there's
no putting gay back in the box, back in the closet,
whatever you want to say, Like, it's here, it's not
going anywhere. That's not going to happen. And if it did,

(23:48):
obviously everybody would start to have pride parades again. It's
pretty clear, pretty clear we did it in the first place.
I'm sure we could do it again. But people don't
want to go. People are bored by it, done with it,
you know, over it whatever, even gay people. So I'm
not just saying like the rest of culture. I'm saying, like,
even gay people are like, yeah, aren't we proud enough? Yet?

(24:11):
What else do we need? And this is to say
nothing of the very rightful criticism that many pride parades
or parties or sorts of exhibitions just devolve into degeneracy.
And I think that's another thing that people are sort
of like, okay, dude, we're done.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
We say it's cool if you're gay and we have
a flag and we celebrate together and make it okay
for you to feel good or whatever needs to happen, right.
Not cool when you've got a fourteen foot long fake
penis off of a man that children are holding, right.
Not cool when you're sticking a bunch of kids into
a very sexualized drag show and having them shove dollar

(24:52):
bills into the underwear of tranees and not cool. Not
cool when you're sexualizing children. Not cool when you're just
wearing your kink fetish porn and stuff in public, Like
not cool. Right. That's a very different thing than just
saying like, yeah, of course we accept. Of course you
can have sex with whoever you want. Of course, you
can do whatever you want as an adult. It's great,
we love you. Very different to be like I get

(25:13):
to be a degenerate, sexualized children pervert in public and
you have to support it and celebrate it or you're hateful.
People are sick of that. So there's a couple of
different things going on, and they're all kind of coming
together at once, and that's why we're seeing this sort
of thing. And it'd be wise to have like a

(25:37):
finger on that pulse, you know, for the people who
don't yet, because if you push people too far, then
you get the backlash and you don't want to go backwards, right,
So you don't have to have your fetish kink porn
equipment in public. You don't have to do that to
be accepted or celebrated or safe or loved or any

(25:58):
of those things. And everybody knows it. So, you know,
we have this dominant narrative that there's a victimization of
LGBTQ people in the United States, that it's dangerous to
be LGBTQ, that you are more likely to be physically harmed,

(26:19):
violently assaulted, robbed, raped, all sorts of things. And it's
a dominant narrative that doesn't actually have a lot of
hard data behind it. They got a lot of data,
and the data they've got will kind of convince you
that it's true. When you actually dig into some of
the more nuanced aspects of it, it kind of starts

(26:41):
to fall apart. And this was one of the things
too took me a while to sort of see. I've
talked many times about my journey from far far extremist leftist,
full on communist revolutionary too. You know what I can
only call I call it shamanic anarcho in Narco Shamanism

(27:01):
is what I call it, because you know, I've been
more on the anarchist side of things for a long
time now, and that's sort of beyond either right or
left right. It's perhaps the most truly centrist thing you
could ever do. But you know, then this journey, I
myself used to also just I just bought this stuff
because you just you told it, and you seem to

(27:23):
see data that supports it, and so you just accept it. Right, Yeah,
gay people are more you know, victimized and have to
experience all this stuff and how unfair, right, we must
actually live in a very hateful society. If that's true.
It takes you a long time to meet the like
Victor David Hanson's of the world, in my experience at least,

(27:45):
and the other sorts of people who actually do just
look at again, Praeger, some of these people who are
painted as these extreme, hateful people, and they're very much not.
But some of these people who actually just look into
the data and expose some of it. But you know,
they say things like this, lgbtp LGBT people are five
times more likely than non LGBT people to be victims

(28:06):
of violent crime. Black LGBT people have the highest rates
of victimization overall, followed by Hispanic and then white LGBT
people and LGBT people are nine times more likely to
experience violent hate crimes than non LGBT people. And they
tell you, oh, we did this all. Here's how we
did it. We ask people their gender, we asked them
their sexual preferences, their orientation, we ask them their ethnicity,

(28:29):
and then we ask them how many times they've been
the victim of these various things, and then we have
these results. Okay, but you didn't you don't actually know.
I'll just point out you don't actually know how much
of that is true. There are studies, for example, that
when I was a teacher, we gave students that were like,
you know, very similar this, this and this, and then
we're trying to get an idea of how many of

(28:50):
them have been exposed to you know, really extreme things
or violence or drugs, or how many of them are
doing these things, and to weed out the liars, you've
got some questions that are traps. So you have some
questions that are like fake drugs that don't actually exist
anywhere on earth, and they're not a slang for any
drugs anywhere on Earth. And so if you say I
use this regularly, we now discount all of your data

(29:13):
because you're a liar. So, right, in these types of
studies we're talking about, with these LGBT things, we don't
have that luxury, and to pretend like everyone's honest is
a ridiculous thing to do. The other thing is we
are living in a society which has told LGBTQ people
that they are victimized and that everything they experience is

(29:35):
because they are gay, which is obviously not true, but
is what most people believe. And so if they experience
a negative outcome, they can attribute it more easily to
their sexual orientation, whether it has anything to do with
it or not. And we all know that this is true.
We all have met someone who is a victim of something,

(29:56):
but we can see like, that's not actually why that's
happening to you, right, And to reinforce that, I'll just
remind us of that study where they had people get
makeup applied that made it look like they were horribly
disfigured facially, and they told them, we need you to
go in and do this interview. This interviewer doesn't know

(30:17):
you from anyone else, and we're just studying to see
if they treat you poorly because of the wounds on
your face or the disfigurement. Right, we want to see
if they have a bias against you because of this,
So be looking for that, right, be looking for how
they mistreat you and if they have a bias against you.
And then right before they leave to go do this interview,
another makeup artist comes in and says, oh, I just
need to fix some of this, and they actually remove

(30:38):
all of it, and that person doesn't know that, and
they go into this room thinking they look a certain way,
and they don't. And they found that the people who
believed they had these scars and this disfigurement attributed all
kinds of things to this bias against them. They attributed
this person all these like, oh, they treated me like

(30:59):
this and they didn't like even that, and they treated
me poorly. But they didn't even have those wounds highlighting
that if you expect discrimination, you will find it even
if it isn't there. So we not only have liars,
we have a culture of this belief that you will

(31:20):
absolutely be treated worse if you're gay, and that you
will be violently accosted and treated worse and crimes will
be committed against you because you're gay. We actually don't
have a way of weeding all of that out, and
so we don't actually know. But there's much more than that.
That's just something I want you to keep track of
in your mind as potential, especially when I'm doing this

(31:42):
type of study that's self reported, self indicated, in no
way checked on. Right. That's the type of problems with
these types of studies. And everybody who understands studies or
has done any sort of level of higher level education
around house studies are best executed, understands these problems. These

(32:03):
are always these have always been problems with studies like these.
Is not just gay studies. It's like all all of
these types of studies have this same automatic defect. It's
just a problem of how the study goes. So to
just say, oh, it just is true that gay people
have more bond stuff, we don't actually seem to know that,
and so there's more reasons why we don't seem to

(32:24):
know that as well. And so again we have all
of these self reported that we're not going on actual
like you know, police reports, or actual like filed criminal
lawsuits or anything like that. That is not where we

(32:45):
get this data. One of the time where we're getting
it is self reported, often anonymous data. So anybody can
call this number and say there was a hate crime,
and that gets logged. Nobody checks it, nobody even knows
who you are. And now that's another log in the system.
And if you think people don't lie about it, you

(33:07):
haven't been paying attention. There's also tons and tons of hoaxes.
So again, the FBI has all these crime statistics. Those
are not based on police reports, they're not based on
actual evidence here, but they're based on self reported They
even say, here is how you can report a hate crime.

(33:28):
Just right now, just go do it. Report a hate crime.
No one will call you, you don't even have to
give your name, you don't have to have any details
to it, no one's going to check on it. Anyone
can report it, right. So even the FBI is doing this,
But we have tons of hoaxes. This is just right
here in my city, just this year. If I wanted

(33:49):
to do a whole episode, I could do a ten
part documentary just on hate crime hoax, not even just
crime hoax, just hate crime hoax, hate crimes that were
not true, and in fact, the vast majority that become
actually investigated are not true. Nobody catches that in the

(34:13):
fine print. Nobody does like a follow up report. By
the way, everything we told you in that dramatic thing
the other night on the news that was fake, they
just leave it right because it's way more clicks, it's
way more views, and it gets you way more emotional,
and it gets everyone else divided and victimized. This Colorado

(34:34):
springs one pled guilty to a charge related to a
hate crime hoax. We've got Jesse Smolette, the most famous
hate crime hoax of all, and people will just go
in on like, oh, but you know he had to
because his whole life he's had oppression because he's black.
And then you know, like, okay, well if it's real,
then you don't have to make it up. It's just

(34:55):
this is like the arsonists who burned down the forest
to get attention for climate change. You're like, well, if
it was a big enough problem, you wouldn't have to
make up things for us to pay attention to.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
So Jesse small let right said that these guys, it
just fell apart so fast. Actually, here's also there's just
this is just from Wikipedia, which you know what isn't
going to give you all of it, right, You know,
people go through and try to get as much of
this removed as possible because they're so mad that there's
hate crime hoaxes, and mostly hate crime hoaxes as opposed

(35:31):
to actual hate crimes. But there's just listen list here
Scottsboro Boys, Lois Thompson, murder of Florence Castle, Emmett Till
missing case or Sorry Kissing Case, the Manson family, William
Henry Hans, Toanna Brawley, Charles Stewart. This goes on for
m and many of them are in very recent years

(35:52):
as the media has stoked this idea that LGBTQ people
are just so hated, it's so dangerous for them. Black
people are so hated and it's so dangerous for them.
All minorities are just hated, so dangerous for them. Women
are so hated, so dangerous for them. And all of
these hoaxers came out of the background because it's easy.

(36:12):
Everyone wants to believe it. For some reason. The media
will just run with it. You might get rich and
famous from it. I mean, there's no reason not to
hoax a hate crime anymore. You get so much attention
your whole life. You've been desperate to be noticed, desperate
for someone to say, oh you you here you are

(36:34):
and look at you. And now you have this opportunity.
You get to excuse all of your failings. You don't
ever have to grow or change. Like it's the best
hoax ever. So many racial hoaxes. Three people were invited
on charges related to a hate crime hoax over in Denver.

(36:55):
These are just from right around me, right, but it's worldwide.
I mean it's every week I seem to report on
another hate crime hoax. Very few actual hate crimes, but
tons of hoaxes. So again you go back to those
numbers and then you're like, well, okay, these are self reported,
no one's checking them. We have no evidence they ever

(37:16):
actually happened. You were always meant to think you were
a victim and fed the line that you're a victim
so you're looking for things that might not even be
because of who you are. They might just be all
kinds of circumstance, all kinds of happenstance, and we have
hoaxers and we have liars. You cannot take those numbers seriously.
But there's even more reason to look at these numbers dubiously,

(37:43):
and that's that the vast majority of violent crime that
happens against gay people that's actually reported and actually documented
is from other gay people, just like most people's violent
experiences are from the people that they spend time with.

(38:03):
Violent domestic abuse or violence between sexual partners, or violence
between family members. So if you are gay, of course
it's most likely that the people who are going to
harm you are other gay people. You live with them,
you play with them. He's like, that's who you spend

(38:25):
time with, right to a large degree. So, yes, there's
violent crime against gay people that isn't from gay people.
But when you get into these numbers, it's like all
kinds of gay on gay crime. And you know, there's
lots of studies that also look into other aspects of
this which are also peculiar to being gay and self inflicted,

(38:53):
and you can get into all kinds of reasons why
do gay people do this to themselves and each other?
You can ask that all you want. You can tend
to blame it on society's rejection of them being gay
if you want. That's no actual indication that that's what's
going on. There's almost always pretty severe childhood trauma going on.

(39:14):
I mean, you could say that for most of us. Right,
So if you want to look at why traumatic things
happen to people who are traumatized, that's probably a more
effective line of reasoning than it's because you're gay. And
if you are traumatized because you're gay, it's because you
live in a culture that programmed you to believe that

(39:36):
that makes you hateable and hated, not because you actually
experience hate for that. And I will continue to share
some examples that will hopefully help you realize that is true.
But same sex relationships often are also associated with criminal behavior.
They're associated with risk taking behavior, they're associated with drug

(39:58):
use in general. Right, that's true. Again, you can say, oh,
that's because society hates gay people. Society isn't gay to
gay people for quite a while, and it's still true
in quite excessively high numbers much more so than the
rest of the population. That's a gay culture thing, not

(40:19):
you made me do drugs and hurt people thing. That's
a gay culture thing. And again, honest gay people will
admit that. Yeah, in gay culture it is a raucous, rowdy, promiscuous,
drug taking orgy group. Not that every gay person is
doing all that, obviously, very obviously and in general that's

(40:44):
the culture. Then everybody knows it. That's not in contestation here,
like we know, and all of those things are risk taking.
All of those things lead to possible violent outcomes. You know,
when I was doing more drugs, drinking more, being more
promiscuous in my life, I also experienced more violence. I

(41:08):
experienced more mugging, I experienced more abduction, I experienced more rape.
I don't experience any of those things now, and I
don't have any of those behaviors anymore. That's not an accident.
That's a direct correlation. When you live like that, you
are often putting yourself in very unsafe situations, and it's

(41:28):
ridiculous to pretend that they should be made safe for
you somehow, Like someone could possibly make a drug induced
orgy fueled promiscuity ROMP safe for you. You're the one
choosing to do that to yourself. It's going to be
dangerous at many, many points along the way. It's actually

(41:48):
kind of amazing that more gay people don't get much
more deeply hurt in these situations. It's super dangerous. I
remember one of my gay male friends was talking about
going to meet some gay guys. You know, this isn't Turkey,
by the way, where it's even actually oppressed, the gay

(42:09):
people that are actually oppressed and in actual danger all
of the time, not just in their minds. And so
he went to meet some gay men he thought for
a party, and he got gang raped all night long. Okay,
and again horrible. I should never happen to anybody. And

(42:32):
if you go meet strangers and go into a place
that is theirs and are now trapped in there, they
can to often do whatever they want to you. It's
a stupid choice to make. So you don't excuse the
horrible behavior of other people, and you also don't excuse yours.
You could do better for yourself. You could respect your

(42:55):
body and your heart and your soul and your mind
much more than this. Whether you're gay, straight, or anything,
it doesn't matter, right there's plenty of gay people who
never engage in those type of behaviors, like I said,
because they love themselves and respect themselves more than that.
You just get to act like this is just some
sort of thing that you should be able to engage
in without any consequences. Everything you choose has consequences, and

(43:19):
there are bad people in the world who doesn't know that.
You don't put yourself in situations where people you don't
know have access and control of you. You know, it's
an intelligent choice to think more clearly about this. So, yeah,
there's a lot more violence involved in some of these
lifestyles because you choose to put yourself in very risky situations,

(43:41):
and the gay people who don't don't tend to experience
these things. What a miracle. Where's the studies on this? Right?
It says almost half of gay male couples experience intimate
partner violence. Why that might be somewhat true of the
general population too, But just saying like, if you think
there's not gay on gay crime, gay on gay abuse,

(44:05):
you're crazy. If you think that all of this violence
that gay people are reporting is from you know, straight
people who hate them, you're crazy. You haven't thought things
through at the very least, you know. And so again
there's all this talk of like, well, gay people don't
want to go to therapists because you know, there's a

(44:27):
stigma about being gay. There are no therapists who care
if you're gay? Did they be? So they'd be like
telling their friends like, yeah, I work with gay couples,
Like this is like an honor badge for people at
this point, this is like their ultimate virtue signal, like
I know gay people, I hang out with gay people.
Like that's like that's cool to people. If you're afraid

(44:48):
of going to therapy because you're gay, like haven't been
paying attention to reality for quite some time, Like you've
been in the delusion for a bit much, right, I
mean I'm saying like in some rural areas of like Arkansas, Shit, sure, yeah,
maybe you should not be fine. Who knows, right, I
don't know even those places have come so far, but
you know what I mean, Like, sure there's gonna be

(45:09):
some places where people are gonna be like, we don't
really do gay around here. Oh well, right, you can't
actually pretend this away, and you can't actually pretend that
like non gay couples don't also have intimate partner violence
and also don't want to go to therapy sometimes and
also don't want to face their problems. Like, your problems

(45:32):
are actually the same problems of all humans all throughout time.
You're not special, you're not different, except perhaps in the
risk taking prosecuity department that's a that's a bit excessive.
But otherwise you're just like everyone else, even in lesbian relationships.

(45:52):
I remember learning this and being like floored by it, because, again,
in my leftist mind frame, women don't do violence. It's
always men. Men are the evil ones, dominant patriarchy, stuff
like capitalism, stuff like that's the problem. And then lesbians
were beating the shit out of each other, and I
was like, hold up, I thought we were women. We
were supposed to be like the nonviolent good ones. I

(46:13):
know that whole life fell apart. Lesians actually have this
really high rate of spousal abuse. I had a lesbian
friend who was abused by her girlfriend psychologically and physically.
It's that common that, right, even amongst my few friends,
this has been common. So it's also referred to as

(46:37):
lesbian battering. Again, people just this doesn't even exist all
gey people are perfect and happy and they're wonderful and
if you say anything besides, now you're hateful. So yes,
there's a lot of domestic violence and game relationships, and
a lot of the violence that is reported is most
often from this, from those sort of sexual equoitations I

(47:00):
was talking about, right, where you may end up somewhere
where you didn't quite want to be and bad things
happen to you in prostitution types of situations is also
quite high. And again that is it's a choice you made. Right,
you're prostituting yourself, You're putting yourself at high risk of

(47:21):
being abused or raped or assaulted or aggressed upon in
some way. Again, I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying, like,
if you're intelligent, you understand the risk you're taking. Right.
I'm not excusing the other person. I'm saying, if you're intelligent,
you know you're going to encounter people like that in
this type of situation. So, if you're in LGBT prostitution, yeah,

(47:46):
you do have a higher rate, It's true. And you
don't have or have to be a prostitute. My advice
to everybody is to not be a prostitute. And again again.
You can go into the sort of ideology ideological framework
that the only reason any gay person would ever prostitute

(48:09):
themselves is because of all of the years of rejection
and self hate they were forced to take on by society. No,
your trauma, your wounds, your lack of self love is
completely your responsibility, and there are millions of opportunities to
heal instead of doing prostitution. You don't get to blame

(48:31):
the world for your struggles, like even in Turkey. You
don't get to blame the world for your struggles, even
where you actually are in severe danger of being murdered,
completely kicked out of every social every family group you've
ever had, every person you've ever known, will automatically reject you.
Even there, you have the responsibility for yourself, always true,

(48:55):
no matter what society is or isn't doing. You don't
have to be a prostitute, you don't have to put
yourself in dangerous situations, you don't have to be a
high risk taking person, and you can heal your trauma
no matter what. Interestingly, I've said shared this before too.
I've known some people who are lifelong gay or lesbian,
people who healed severe trauma they had and weren't gay anymore.

(49:20):
So I said, there's also this question. We've talked about
this with hormones as well, hormone therapy, right, not talking
about even trance stuff. I'm talking about just taking birth
control pills. People will be with somebody. I'm talking about
heterosexual people, so probably gay people too, but you'll be
with somebody who you think you're sexually attracted to, and
you quit taking birth control pills and not into this
person at all. So your internal state and even your

(49:45):
hormonal balance can be such a high effect on what
you believe you are attracted to that it can change
your entire outlook on attraction and sex and you know,
partnership and all of that when those things change, And
that's another thing you're not allowed to really mention or
talk about. You know, again, receive all of this condemnation

(50:07):
is a hateful person for noticing something that happens to
be true. And again, brave gay and lesbian people admit
these things. They're not hiding from these truths. So very
interesting to notice that. So again, high drug use amongst
the LGBTQ population not necessarily because of Oh, it's just

(50:28):
so traumatizing to be that, but because it is encouraged, dismissed,
and actively passed off as like, oh, you're a victim
if you started doing drugs and you're gay, instead of like, yeah,
you made really bad choices and now it's time to
do better. Right, that's a different outlook different outlooks. So
if you're encouraged to and you can get away with,
and you've been enabled to, and your entire culture around

(50:51):
you is doing this, you're going to do this right,
You're going to be very likely to do this. The
culture of LGBTQ encourages promiscuity and drug use. They've even showed,
you know, the children who are involved in some of
these trands, especially the you know, drag queen type, bur

(51:13):
lesque type, you know shows the younger children who are
part of this have already been exposed to so much
drug use by the time they're like twelve years old,
because that's how rampant it is in these communities. So
even a child would have access to abusing these things
just because they're a part of this community. So, yes,

(51:34):
you are going to experience more violence, more assaults, more
crime if you are associated with high drug use, high
risk taking and high promiscuity no matter if you're gay
or straight. It has nothing to do with your sexual orientation.
It just has to do with the culture you're a
part of, which you can change at any time and

(51:58):
remain gay or straight. So again it's maybe quite obvious,
but like even health outcomes are you know, often worse,
especially for gay men who have a much higher rate
of STI transmission, sexually transmitted disease infection and transmission, because
if you are doing anal sex, even if you're straight,

(52:20):
you have a much higher rate of transmission. And it's
a much higher style of sex of sexual act right
amongst gay people than it is anyone else, and so
you're going to have that, right. The anal tearing is
how a bunch of parasites or other things can get
into your body and infect you, and so those affect
other organs, other systems in your body, and so you

(52:42):
can have these lifelong, really hard health challenges also. So
again you know, that's just one of the things. It's
not really what we're talking about. I'm just throwing it
in there as one of these high risk aspects of
some cultures that you don't have to choose. You do want
to there's actually a gay man that don't have anal sex.
It's interesting, and so yeah, I think we've hammered that

(53:08):
that horse enough. But I want to also just reinforce,
like we live in the most free place for gay
people in the world. The US is absolutely by far
the most free, the most accepting, the most tolerant of

(53:29):
anywhere in the United States. And over the years we've
had all kinds, right and again here on Wikipedia they're like, oh,
it's faced significant erosion since Donald Trump. No it hasn't.
I mean, there's no evidence of that at all. And
again he's the first openly progay president we've ever had.
But you know, Wikipedia can't admit that. But we could

(53:49):
have all we could listen all kinds of things that
back in the past, when you were like actually likely
to get like a bottle thrown at your head or
like you know, beat up or drag behind a truck
or you know, all of these things, Like we had
to have all these again, so and wall, all these
things people were fighting for just just the ability to
be safe as a gay person in this society, and

(54:11):
that so long since happened, and we have gay marriage,
and we have civil unions and we have like there
aren't any states where you can't be gay, and you
ensure there's somewhere it might be sort of uncomfortable, but
there are gay people everywhere. There are openly gay people everywhere.
There are pride parades everywhere. There isn't a corporation in

(54:31):
the United States that doesn't have its gay pride time
and day and logo or celebration or funding or anything.
There's nothing. There's no government or business or societal anywhere
that you can find where there isn't an acceptance of gayness,
not at all. All you can find is some people
who don't want men who say they're women to take

(54:54):
women's spaces and achievements from them, or people who don't
want children to be cut up, mutilated or given lifelong
altering hormones. That's it, and that's what they're calling, you know,
the LGBTQ oppression and the you know, slide back into
tyranny and all of this hate. Just those two things. Oh,

(55:17):
in the cake thing, some people won't bake a cake. See,
those are your problems. You're doing pretty good. Like, if
that's all that's left, that's pretty good. And I'll say
I don't think people should have to bake you any
cake they don't want to bake you, even though I
love you and I hope you find the cake you love, right,
I just I think to make someone else do something

(55:37):
they don't want to do is just insane. And you're
a deeply, deeply something's wrong with you. She's just deeply
unsettling person. I don't want to know you. If you
want to force someone to cake, bake you cake, or
do anything else they don't want to do, it's a
rape to me, right, So I don't think they should
have to bake qucake. I don't think kids should be

(55:58):
allowed to be cut up or mutilated or make lifelong
impactful decisions before they're twenty five, actually, at the very
least eighteen. And I don't think men should be able
to take women's spaces and achievements from them. So that's
where I'm at too. And if you think any of
that's based in hate for anyone, again, there's something wrong
with you. I think you're a hateful person. I think

(56:20):
you're a controlling person. I think you're a narcissist. If
you need me to change my deep love of children
to make you feel somehow like accepted. This is crazy
to me. If you can't have a rational conversation with
someone about why they don't want children's genitalia to be

(56:40):
cut up, something wrong with you. If you can't actually
understand why those three things I just said are actually
reasonable and not in any way connected to hate or
not wanting to see or not wanting to accept, or
wanting to hide someone in a closet or whatever. Something
wrong with you. Someone has convinced you of something that
is so untrue. It's not connected with reality, and there's

(57:03):
nothing in reality that supports it. Again, are there people
who hate gay people? Absolutely? There's people who hate every people.
There's people who hate me. There isn't anyone who isn't
hated by someone, And there isn't anyone who doesn't hate someone.
I mean there are actually people who don't. But you
know what I mean, Like, yeah, people hate. Did you

(57:26):
think that at some point you were going to eradicate
hate from humanity? Again, there's something wrong with you. You
won't do that. Did you actually need to control how
other people feel? Does it actually matter if someone hates someone?

Speaker 2 (57:42):
No?

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Is that of your business? Actually, nobody is hating you?
In the way that is coming out at you and
stopping you from living your life, making you feel unsafe.
That's not happening. Those are all hoaxes. Right as we
talked about, nobody's doing that. And so the people who
are hating, they're hating in their hearts and they're hating

(58:04):
pretty quietly, and it doesn't matter at all. It could
never matter. So you have all the rights. You have
more rights here than anywhere. Again, all of the companies
change their logos. They've got their gay flegs, they've got
their gay apparel, they've got like everything. This is a
list of just corporations and businesses in the United States
that love being very very openly pro gay. There's almost

(58:28):
none that aren't. They even have you know, LGBTQ plus
owned businesses that do really well because people go out
of their way to show support for gay people. This
is the same with any quote unquote minority or a
press group. If you're a black artist, you're gonna do
way better than a white artist right now. If you're

(58:50):
a gay artist, you're gonna do way better. If you're
a female artist with big boobs and you look pretty,
you're gonna better than all of them. But sex sells,
you know. But I'm just saying like, this is actually
a benefit to you. At this point, people want to specifically.
You would not, for example, be able to say, oh,
I'm a white hetero artist. People would be like, Eh,

(59:10):
don't buy that. That's the patriarchy, that's the privilege. We
don't want to support that. It is so trendy right
now to virtue signal and support of any type of
minority or suppose of the oppressed group. You could find
I got this soap from this LGBTQ trans queer black person.

(59:31):
It's better than other soap because it makes me feel
like a good person. It is the ultimate virtue signal.
So they even have entire articles and entire groups that
are dedicated to promoting LGBTQ products. Are they better products?
Nobody knows. It just matters that they're gay, they're gay products,
that they're better. That's how not oppressed gayness is in

(59:56):
this society, in this country in twenty twenty five. But
in other countries it's horrifying. You could go to almost
any country in the world and it'd be horrifying. There's
a few, you know, European countries where it might be
similar to here and everywhere else. It's horrifying. So Africa

(01:00:19):
and Uganda. Since enacting in twenty twenty three law imposing
the death penalty for aggravated homosexuality over eight hundred and
fifty LGBTQ individuals of face eviction's, arrests, and violence with
state backing. In Ethiopia, authority use rated hotels in twenty
twenty three and bars and Addis Ababa targeting venues suspected

(01:00:40):
of hosting homosexual acts. In Kenyan, twenty twenty two, non
binary lesbian Shila Lamumba was brutally raped and murdered. Human
rights groups highlighted a pattern of violence against queer Kenyans
in South Africa despite legal protections. Corrective rape and murders
of LGBTQ past individuals, particularly lesbians, have been reported. I

(01:01:05):
mean there, if you say, all I live in Africa,
I'm oppressed, they say yes, you are, absolutely, deeply violently
You're in danger. This is a dangerous place to be gay.
You're in the United States and you're trying to tell
me that you face depression ever in your life, and
you're like forty or under. I'm gonna say no, you didn't.
I don't believe you. No offense uh Asia. Pakistan. Same

(01:01:28):
sex acts are criminalized under Section three seventy seven. Criminalized
Male same sex activity in News Pakistan is illegal, punishable
by three years in prison. LGBTQ plus individuals face mob
violence and blackmail, no protection from authorities Brune twenty nineteen,
Sierra Penal Code same sex acts can result in death

(01:01:50):
by stoning Cambodia. Twenty nineteen Survey You revealed over eighty
percent of lesbian, bisexual trans under women experience violence from
family members with forced hood or sexual marriages. Latin America. Brazil,
Oney seven hundred murders of trans individuals one of the
most dangerous places for trans people Colombia, and twenty twenty two,

(01:02:11):
one hundred and forty eight LGBTQ plus individuals were murdered again.
Trans people actually face really severe oppression almost all over
the globe, except in the United States, where you can
go into a waxing salon for female and show them
your penis and balls and make them wax them and
just say it's because you're a girl. Nobody kills you,
nobody stones you, nobody puts you in jail. You can

(01:02:35):
go onto a podium and take first place in any
sport you want. Practically because you say you think you're
a girl, Nobody kills you, nobody even harasses you. You
have people online that say, I don't like this, and
that's the worst you get. In these countries. You actually
just get murdered, you get disappeared, you get actually brutally

(01:02:57):
raped and abused constantly. You get forced into heterocyc marriages. Columbia, Argentina, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Iran,
Saudi Arabia, we won't even in all of the Middle East.
It is the most violent oppression of gay and lesbian people.

(01:03:17):
I've talked about it before too. You're actually allowed to
be fully gay a lot of the time because if
you are giving, as they say, if you're top, you're
not gay. If your bottom you are, so you can
be gay. You just can't be bottom because I'm not joking,

(01:03:38):
and that's a sort of undefined like loose, you know,
but that's what everybody knows. So you're not going to
be stoned or murdered or put in jail for any
of that. But if your bottom, you will be in Turkey.
The only way you can get out of military service
sometimes is to be gay. But if you give, and
you have to give them a photographic or video evidence

(01:03:59):
of you being gay to prove you're gay. I'm not joking.
And if you are again, if your bottom, if you're receiving,
that's the one they'll say, Okay, yeah, you can't come
in the military. But if you're giving, they're like, oh no,
that's yeah, you can be in the military. You're not gay.
Not an exaggeration. If it has changed, it's changed in
the last ten years. So when I was there, that's

(01:04:21):
what was going on. Iran, same sex activities criminalized punishments
include flogging and the death penalty. Saudi Arabia, homosexual lada
is illegal, can be punishable by death. Yemen, same sexual
activity is illegal, penalties ranging from flogging to death. Qatar,
homosexual acts or criminalized penalties include imprisonment and probably worse. Again,

(01:04:45):
the authorities aren't going to look into if you disappear
in these areas. Legal status in Iraq is same sex
relations are criminalized penalties and crelude imprisonment and fines. Egypt
laws against debauch, which includes the same sex acts. Jordan illegal.

(01:05:06):
Oh sorry, it is actually legal, but they're no anti discrimination,
so maybe it's again Jordan is like catar it's like
trying to modernize. It's a little bit less, but the
culture is still that you're probably actually scared for your life. Ohman,
it's illegal imprisonment and worse you a criminalized imprisonment and fines,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. In all these areas,

(01:05:28):
I will highlight one very specific one, and this is Palestine.
In Gaza, governed by Hamas, homosexuality is illegal and can
be punishable by imprisonment and worse. That isn't being said here.
And you will still say. You'll see people who are
like lesbians for Palestine, like that's cool, I'm proud of

(01:05:52):
you for being pro Palestine. You believe in that. And
also I hope you know they would like you to die,
like they don't like you not allowed to be gay there,
and it's awesome. You should still fight for their freedom,
in my opinion, but also you might want to know that.
You might want to know that. So all over the world,
every continent, in most countries, that is the truth, and

(01:06:17):
it's very much not in the United States. So again
it's hard for me, having traveled to many many countries,
having lived and some of them having seen up close
and personal exactly how oppressed various different groups are, how
much racism there actually is. To come back to the
United States and to have people tell me that we're racist,
that were homophobic, that were anti gay right, or that

(01:06:38):
we have all this discrimination and oppression, it's fine blowing
to me, Like I actually think you should probably go
spend time in other places and see just how good
you have it, which doesn't mean you shouldn't try to
make it better, but you shouldn't lie either and say
that you are oppressed when you're not. You have a
delusion of oppression. You've been told to find the by

(01:07:00):
against you, and so you found it even if it
doesn't exist, or even if it isn't from your sexual preference,
but just because people are assholes, which is most often
the case. What's actually true is there isn't a human
being alive that doesn't feel rejected by society, not loved

(01:07:23):
and accepted enough, and wishing they had more of those things.
That is a universal human condition thing. And yes, there
are people who have found it and don't actively feel
this at the moment obviously, and as you are growing up,
it is a phase. It is an adolescent phase that
you go through, it's a developmental phase you go through.

(01:07:45):
It is a universal thing. But the problem is when
society tells you that you are oppressed, and I tell
you to look for it wherever you can find it,
you never leave that stage and instead of finding and
realizing a, I love myself and that's good enough and
not and it doesn't bother you as much when people
don't accept you or love you, or you're not their

(01:08:07):
styl or their flavor, or they hate you for no
reason that you don't attribute it to anything except that's people.
But if you have this identity of victimization, like the
facial scar study, you attribute every negative act to that.
I remember I was shopping with somebody and we were
in separate parts of the store and I was noticing

(01:08:28):
I was like being watched and I was like, well,
I'm I'm not a shoplsher, but like I get it,
like you have to be careful or whatever. And this
other person was a person of color and when we
were done, they're like they were watching me that whole
time because I was black, And I was like, I
mean they were watching me the whole time too, and
I'm not black, Like, yeah, but they were watching me
because I'm black. I technically that could have been the case,

(01:08:49):
but you had no way of knowing because why were
they watching me? Then? Right, Like, what what's your excuse? Then? See,
I wasn't taught to look at it as something that
was happening for my skin color. I was taught to
look at it as like people don't want people to steal,
and they just don't know who might, so they look
at anyone. I have no identity to attribute it to. Right,

(01:09:13):
But when I was young, when I was going through
this phase of like feeling rejection and feeling isolation and
feeling like you don't fit in, or feeling like no
one's ever gonna love you, or feeling like all these
fears that adolescents go through, right, I could have said like, yeah,
it's because I'm poor, It's because I'm not a Christian.
That's what I was told, right that that was the
dominant culture, and so therefore, if you're not Christian, people
don't like you because you're not Christian. This is a

(01:09:34):
leftist thing. You go ask them, they'll tell you all
about it. Because i'm a woman. Oh, this person's treating
me like that because I'm a woman. Well, they might
just be treating you like that because they're an asshole. Right,
even if they bring up, oh you're a girl, da
da da, Well that's just an easy target on you, right,
Or when you were wearing glasses, if you were a kid,

(01:09:55):
your four eyes, or if you're fat, well, now the
fat is the easy target. Or if you have anything
going on, you have freckles, the freckles are the easy target.
And yeah, sometimes when you're you've got you know, a
person of color, that's the target. Unfortunately, but that person's
not actually racist necessarily. This was just the thing they
could pick out about you that seemed different enough that

(01:10:18):
it might hurt your feelings. So, especially when you're young,
like this is just how you start to get through.
I remember one of my friends has a kid who
is mixed race. Right, she's black. Her husband was black
and she was white, and so their kid is is both.
And so her hair is uh, sort of the more
afro whatever style of hair instead of the white people

(01:10:41):
straight you know hair. And so some kid at school
one day was like, oh something something, your kinky hair
and I don't even know if it actually, you know,
hurt her feelings because her hair is like black hair, right,
or if that didn't happen until someone then later told

(01:11:02):
her like, oh, that's a racial thing and this is racism.
But either way, if it would have been something else
about her that wasn't her race, or if she was
super fat, or she was wearing a weird shirt that
everyone had decided was stupid last week and now you're
not cool for wearing it anymore, she had glasses on,
or any number of things it could have been that

(01:11:23):
that got picked on instead. But when you project onto
it like oh, they're racist and they hate you because
you're black. Is that true of a child?

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
Not?

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
Usually No, they're just picking on anything they can find
because that's what kids do. In fact, adults do it too.
So most people feel misunderstood and left out. Most people
feel like they question whether they belong or not. Most
people worry about whether or not they're fundamentally different from

(01:11:55):
everyone else, and they will never be the same or
accepted or truly love or truly understood. It's a natural
process we go through of individuation, of comparing ourselves to others.
It's a natural process we go through of like noticing
things about others that are different from ourselves, whether we're
part of a minority or a majority group of any category,

(01:12:17):
we all go through all of that. Right, So, when
people picked on me for various things when I was young,
I didn't get to attribute it to being gay, or
being black or being whatever. I did attribute it to
being poor or being a female or whatever. But none
of that was really true. I got picked on because
I was a kid. You got picked on because you
were a kid. I picked on other people because I

(01:12:39):
was a kid. And then hopefully we all grew up.
You know, when you're going through those things in those
stages of development, especially during adolescents and childhood, you do
end up sometimes with high rates of anxiety and depression.
You do end up with some self harm, You do
end up with some risk taking behavior sometimes. And if

(01:13:00):
you're gay or lesbian, or unfortunately some other minority groups,
and you have been told that this is a permanent state,
then you might just continue to indulge in those escapist
behaviors forever. You might continue to harm yourself, and you
might really internalize this feeling of not fitting in or

(01:13:21):
not being accepted or not being loved. But if you
grew up in a totally different way and people didn't
tell you constantly that you were impressed in the least
oppressive society in the history of the world for this
type of thing, then you might not. You know, if
you've ever seen a kid fall down, right, and everybody goes, oh, no, no, God,
are you okay? And the kids like ah, because there's

(01:13:44):
all this energy suddenly dumped on them, and they're like,
I must be so her, and they're just reflecting back
what they feel. And it's a very different thing if
you've seen a kid fall down and nobody reacts and
they just wait, and the kids kind of like, uh,
I don't know, and they're like okay, and then they
just get up and run away like okay, cool. That's

(01:14:06):
the difference. What are the people around you projecting onto you?
What are you being told to believe about the experience
you're having. I remember one of my friends who's lesbian,
was like, well, I don't feel supported by this society.
I don't feel included or loved, because I was pointing out,

(01:14:28):
like every corporation and every government, every and we have
a whole month and we have all these pride parades,
like one of the most loved groups in our society. Actually,
I've never had a parade for any of my identity factors.
And she was saying, well, I don't feel loved, I
don't feel accepted. I was like, that's not a factor
of whether or not you are. That's a factor of

(01:14:51):
whether or not you have accepted it or not, whether
or not you've internalized the love and the acceptance or not.
And no one can make you do that so that
you don't feel it. Notice, it is a choice you're making.
It's an experience you're creating for yourself. You haven't actually
experienced the opposite, So you've created this experience for yourself

(01:15:12):
based on nothing. Actually, and you can stop at any time,
and any of us can, for any of the ways
we're putting ourselves in a victim mentality. We can at
any point choose the opposite and say, actually, probably the
experience I'm having is pretty universal, Probably most humans experiences
at some point, and probably there's a lot I can
do about it. I've not found many things in my

(01:15:36):
very difficult, insanely traumatizing life that I didn't actually have
the ability to make a better experience and outcome for myself,
for I haven't found it yet. And so my favorite
is when I talk about these things and people come
at me and they're like, yeah, well you're so privileged though,
like O, you want to go into the privilege game,

(01:15:57):
let me tell you my life because you want feel
that way. Afterwards, you could pretend all you want that
I got to this outlook because of some kind of privilege.
But there isn't a single mark on the box of
privilege that I don't uncheck as I tell you my
life story. So the only one you could possibly attribute

(01:16:18):
to me is that I seem to have white skin.
That's it, Like all the others don't fit. So don't
bring that bullshit again. It's just victimization. Oh your privileged
though you're privileged enough to think that, Well, you're right.
I am privileged enough to have a brain. I am
privileged enough to have the ability to think. I am

(01:16:40):
privileged enough to look around at reality and to gather
information about it. I am privileged enough to have the
will to choose to look to see if things that
are presented to me are actually true or not. I
am privileged to do that because I gave myself all
those privileges by choosing them, as you can too. Anybody

(01:17:01):
can be privileged and so again, and nobody cares if
you're gay, like at all, very very very few people care.
And the people who care don't care much. They're like, yeah,
I don't think I don't think I like gay people.
I don't think I like gay marriage, or I don't
think I like gay adoption, to which you can say,

(01:17:24):
oh well, because I can still go get married, be
gay and adopt kids. Doesn't matter at all if someone
doesn't like you. And recently Matt Walsh has been under
fire again because he was criticizing gay adoption and especially
I think with this whole Glenn Greenwald thing, which again,

(01:17:44):
Glenn Greenwald is one of the most amazing journalists. He
just has such high integrity with journalism and he's done
so much for journalism and I really respect him and
love him as a journalist. And again, it matters not
at all who he has sex with to me, he
does happen to have adopted some children. I think I
think he has adopted some children with his husband. Also

(01:18:07):
doesn't matter to me. But Matt Walsh thinks you know
this sex tape that leaked for Glenn Greenwald, which is
super just why do people want to watch this stuff?
Like anybody sex tape anywhere? I'm just like, okay, like
not interesting to me at all. And also who cares
if you have one? Right, Like I understand, I agree
with like you probably should never record yourself doing anything

(01:18:28):
you don't want someone to see. But also who cares?
Nobody cares really, right, But Matt Walsh has said like, oh,
I don't think that it's appropriate. I guess Glenn Greenwold
maybe was a porn star, I'm not really sure, and
that he is a porn star who uses drugs and
makes sex tapes and also has adopted children, and people
are like furious, like, oh, how dare he? Who cares?

(01:18:54):
There's someone out there who thinks like me, living unmarried
and with a man is just atrocious and I'm an
evil person for it? Do you see me losing sleep
about it? I don't care, Right, there's people who think
me making this video is like just so horrible and
I'm just the worst type of person in the world.

(01:19:15):
I don't care for every choice I've ever made. There's
people who have hated me for it. I don't care.
So someone hates you for being gay, why do you care?
It just doesn't matter. And otherwise no one cares if
you're gay, and they're never going to. So I think

(01:19:35):
that again, as I said in the beginning, I actually
think that bothers a lot of gay people more than
they'll admit, is that nobody cares that they're gay. They
used to get a lot more attention for it, and
now it's like, yeah, you're gay. Oh well anyways, and
they're like wait, wait, And I remember again one of
the gay guys who I love said that, and I
was like, yeah, I do you know. I think that
actually is a thing for a lot of people. But

(01:19:57):
you know, and it is sad for you, perhaps if
you care about pride and it's sort of dying where
you're at or whatever. But it's like, yeah, then era
is ending or something. But also like, oh well, your
life will be fulfilled in other ways. You'll find other
things that are cool for you, and other ways to
celebrate who you are, and all sorts of things. And
as I've said a million times, there's probably many many
other things about you that are so much more significant

(01:20:19):
and meaningful than which gender you choose to have sex
with probably one of the least important things about you.
I hope that you see in yourself so much more
than who you have sex with. I hope that you
find in yourself something much more lasting than the transitory

(01:20:40):
experience of which human sexual partner you choose. Right, your
soul is eternal, and the least important thing about it
is what it does with its genitalia in this incarnation
with consent amongst adults. So maybe you can be fulfilled

(01:21:00):
in so many other ways. And maybe as you fulfill
yourself more and more, it becomes even less important to
you whether or not Matt Walsh approves of your choices
in life. That should be one of the least important
things to you, in my humble opinion. So may you
be very happy with who you are, no matter what
you do with your genitalia as a consenting adult. May

(01:21:23):
you not care so much what other people do with
their opinions, with their lives, with their lifestyles. May you
take full responsibility of yourself and not given to victimization programming.
And may you look through the agendas and the narratives
you are told or true at least enough to verify
whether they are actually true or not in every case,

(01:21:43):
in every place and every time, and until you do,
travel well, interbalance and always look inside first.

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
Grab any pencil, give it potential. I'm heav essential, get
it suspensial. I don't clift. Stop by hip hop, and
eventually you'll come to see the master of the sentence.
I'm come to be coming up and come to my head.

You ain't too park. Too many empties on the street

Some of them don't know what hip hop's about. A

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
Turn it on now, and that's that guy.
