hey should. I'm just going to say it. All right he drew the black characters to look like monkeys. All right. Now if that doesn't offend you I don't know what would. I mean that's about as offensive as you can get. Now was he thinking that when he drew them or is it just an artifact from his drawing style which just fell out that way but he wasn't thinking of it in any way like that? It's a probl…

're in charge.

So somebody says that's why Sweden is in bad shape. I don't know if that can be proven by any data but I do think this is an interesting point. That the nicer you are as a society the more vulnerable you are to societies that are not as nice.

Now the way Novicius has put it is that they are male dominated societies. If you look at Russia, male dominated. China, male dominated. Those are two biggest problems. And would those male-dominated cultures produce, let's say let's take China for example. We believe that China is doing all these terrible things to us from shipping us fentanyl to stealing our IP to spying to gathering our DNA to all these things. Would China be doing all of those things if they had a gender equal society with women in charge as much as men? Would they do all those things? What do you think? What do you think? Would China be as aggressive if they had gender equality? I feel like they would be less aggressive. And that there's something to this hypothesis.

So anyway I just put that out there. It's very sexist but it does match, it matches observation even if my observation is so biased that I can't see it clearly. Somebody says the CCP is not China. Yeah that's a fair statement but the Communist Party is male dominated so that's the point. They have 100 million excess men. Somebody says do they? China has no diversity on their corporate boards of directors. In the future yeah.

All right so that's all I got for today and I will talk to you tomorrow.

All right YouTubers. Yeah it's from the one child family rule I guess. Swedes get paid five weeks vacation somebody says. Why do I always wear the same shirt? I do this in my pajamas so the shirt you see is the shirt that I wore to bed. So I'm always in my pajamas. I can prove it. Pajamas. And I'm always barefoot. So I've created this entire show which now has national prominence and I've never once worn pants. I mean I have pajamas on and I've never done it in my shoes. So I like a job that you can do in your pajamas without shoes and make a lot of money. Now I'm not making a lot of money but it is monetized.

Yeah this is the

best way to do a show. Do I still go on other people's podcasts? Not at the moment. I'll confess something to you right now. The enjoyment I get in doing this and also the content I do for Locals which is a subscription site where I put a lot of my content that you don't get to see, I enjoy that so much that my cartooning it's just hard for me to do it. Like it's 30 years of drawing these same cha…
