Then you brought up too, and I mean, I don't know,
because you talked about how democracy, democracy fails a lot
of the time. And so if we're going by the
consensual narrative, have you ever heard why Socrates hated democracy?
(00:26):
Have you ever? Have you ever heard his spiel on it?
I mean he basically he democracy fails because they don't
teach their people how to vote. And he actually he
actually went kind of used this analogy. He had the
doctor and then the sweet salesman, right, and let's say
(00:46):
let's say the doctor and the sweet salesman are running
against each other for office. And you know, the doctor goes, well,
you know, I might have to hurt you or prick
you too to make you feel better there, but ultimately
I heal you. And then you have the candy man
who's over there, you know, singing the praises and promises. Well,
(01:08):
I give you sweet treats all the time. I give
you sweet treats. You want the sweet treats? Do you nothing?
You're going to vote for me? And so this is
why he could not stand democratic governments because whenever there
was a representative permit of some kind that they would
never teach their people how to vote properly. Of course,
you know, on the back end, we know, we know
(01:31):
that there's many, many other reasons why democratic governments turn
out the way that they do. I disagreed with Socrates
on that though, because I don't think a benevolent dictator
is going to be the answer for the perfect government.
And I think there's there's too many there's too many
variables at play there when it comes to human psychology
(01:53):
and putting one person in charge of a whole country.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
There there is, But I'd like to save that discussion
towards the end, if you wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Mind, absolutely we can say, yeah, we can say that one.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Thought for where this goes to, not just where it's been,
because we are in the cusp of something new, and
I'll get into that, but I'd like to wrangle through
twentieth and twenty first early twenty first century history, the
(02:32):
nature of Satan and the possibility of revelations twenty verse
seven being a little bit more relevant than we'd all
care to admit. So if you have no if you
don't have any objections. How does a history lesson sound?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
History lesson sounds great? Man, You've really done your research
and you have not only me listening very intently, but
the whole audience. So yeah, let's dive in. Man. I'm
totally in for it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I love history. My kids roll their eyes occasionally, but
usually they end up cross legged on the floor like, Wow,
this is cool. Why don't our teachers teach you that?
It's like, you don't want the answer to that question yet.
So the last era where we had culture and society
(03:28):
and by extension government, that tripartid arrangement in more or
less harmony was actually end of the nineteenth or end
of the nineteenth century. I mean, was it perfect? No.
(03:49):
People are still people and people will make bad choices.
Ask the Habsburg dynasty how their attempt at world domination
through marriage went. But I'd like to paint the picture
of circa nineteen hundred, and I'll speak mostly on Europe,
(04:12):
Western World, Europe, America, ancillary spots Canada too, because I'm
more familiar with that. I don't have any deep enough
grasp of Asian African subcontinental history to really apply it
to their. My realm of influence of interest is more
(04:36):
European North American. It's nineteen hundred. I mean, ships don't
have sales anymore. We're building incredible stuff out of metal.
We've got factories, industrialization, these weird horseless carriages running around
(04:58):
with engines on them. You know, transports, easy travels, easy
electricity is coming in. Long distance communication no longer involves pigeons.
And we're really getting into an era where everything is possible,
and the kings are embracing this. You've got the Czar
in Russia, the kings of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany has
(05:26):
their Kaiser. The Austria Hungarian Empire is massive. A lot
of people forget about Austria Hungary, which is intentional because
that's a very interesting country. The more you dig into
it in that it was more a Yes, it's an
empire in the name, but they allowed an exceptional amount
(05:46):
of independence to their countries, except the Balkans, because look,
I love this, I love the Slavs. There is an
irrepressible nature to them, where their motto is just no
nobody's ever conquered that area and held it. It doesn't happen.
(06:08):
It's the Afghanistan of Europe. Go in there at your peril.
Angry Slavs tend to make history, and by God did
they for Austria Hungary. But the majority of Europe, with
the exception of Great Britain, was essentially a single rulership monarchy.
(06:35):
Great Britain was kind of stuck in that mid ground
between parliamentary representative and democracy. The king of that era
had a great deal more power, like he actually was
an executive instead of just a figurehead. My respect to you, Sam.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
He wasn't to the same extent as the Kaisers are
or the Emperor of Austria Hungary, who could just say
do that and it happened. He had more red tape.
America was really the only country outside of France that
had a representative democratic government. Look, we took the help
(07:23):
we could get from the French back in seventeen seventy six.
They may have infected us, Mistakes were made, but regardless,
those were the two that were really present. And if
you study your history, this is I'm chasing a little
bit of rabbit here. But watch what happened after the
(07:47):
Nure Revolution, because mid seventeen hundreds the French were, oh,
they were giving the English quite the run for their money.
When the French Revolution happened, they essentially lost their empire everything.
When they went to a democratic government, all their concerns
came home and they maintained token possessions in Africa, but
(08:08):
they never recovered from that. So the only two countries
that were actually running on a democratic basis were France
and America. Everyone else was a monarchy and generally stable,
as much as any government can be, especially when you
start governing large amounts of territory. And an interesting event
(08:35):
happened around turn of the century. The great parasites of
the world decided that they needed to get their their
mouth parts on things that were far tastier, and we
call them bankers. Yes, they started pushing late, aught pushing
(08:59):
fairly hard in America, pushing fairly hard all over Europe.
And in nineteen thirteen, of course, as we know, they
got the Federal Reserve Act pasted, Central Bank came up
in the United States.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, the Red Shields were involved in the War
of eighteen twelve and stuff like that as well. They
actually funded both they funded both sides of that fucking war. Man.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh, remind me sometime when we have time to rabbit trill. Well,
you know what, I'll go ahead and do it. Nathan
Rothschild was actually had people present at the Battle of Waterloo.
He was a very minor holder, like a few percent
stakeholder in the Bank of England. He had his guys
(09:47):
at Bettle of Waterloo. As soon as they saw quite
clearly that Wellington was going to win, they rode absolute
hell for leather to the channel.
