d definitely discriminate against the group of people just based on your belief, even if it's wrong, just based on your belief that there might be some people who want to kill you in that group, even if it's only one or 1%. You get to avoid that one. If you have an option you should do whatever you can to make sure there are fewer people around you who want to kill you. Completely reasonable even…
← Previous segment →how dumb we were to have believed something so ridiculous by today's standard. That's what measuring the temperature of the Earth is going to look like in 40 years. In 40 years we're going to look back and say oh my God the entire civilization was built around the belief you could measure the temperature of the Earth or even the direction of the temperature, either one. And we will laugh at it as obviously absurd. Or that we can even know which variables are the major variables pushing climate. We will think it's so funny someday. But when you're in it you're like am I surrounded by people who don't know how the real world works? Yes I am.
Well Hamas apparently stockpiled a bunch of fuel in anticipation of what's happening now. So Hamas itself might have a lot of fuel but the hospitals might be running out of fuel, keeping the lights on. And Israel is pointing out that Hamas has an option. They can give their fuel to the hospitals and if they don't is that on Israel? You know if Hamas doesn't want to share their sufficient fuel that they have. Same with the food. It's a good point. But ultimately it's only about power.
Did I tell you about my mission to brand Marxism? Because in my opinion no more than 1% of people even know what Marx is about. They would say communism, socialism, something like that. That's all they would know. So when you say we must not elect that politician because they're a Marxist, just know that that doesn't influence anybody because they don't even know what it is. And if they think it means socialism they're going to say you mean like healthcare? I like healthcare. You mean like Social Security? That kind of socialism? What's wrong with that? That's what people will say.
So you're not going to make Marxism go away by saying oh that Marxist because nobody knows what it means in any useful way. They don't know what it means. So you're going to need persuasion not the facts. The facts are on your side. They're just not persuasive. So you're going to have to abandon the facts if you want to persuade. And the way I would abandon them is this. I would say it's called Marxism because it's about marking people as oppressors to justify taking their stuff. Somebody added taking their stuff and burning it but I don't think you need to add that.
Now somebody's going to say Scott it's after Karl Marx it's not Marx as in marking something with a magic marker. To which I say I know but you're never going to forget it are you? You're never going to forget it. So that was all I was going for. And sooner or later people will start associating Marx with marking people for death because that's actually indirectly that's what ends up happening because it's an oppressor-oppressed model. And the idea is you identify who your oppressors are, you identify who the oppressed are, and you organize your oppressed to do bad things to the oppressors because damn it they deserve it. They've got all your stuff. They stole it from you.
So Marxism is about marking people as oppressors so that you can take their stuff. It is a complete corrupt and broken process and it's the driver of Antifa and Black Lives Matter and a lot of stuff you don't like.
The tale of Robin Hood is Marxist. Yep. Marx couldn't see his penis without two mirrors. Okay a Marist. You're a Marist. You're either a Marxist or a Marist. The Marists are capitalists. Yeah. And anybody who calls me a colonizer I don't want to be around. Don't want to hire them. Don't want to know t

hem. Don't want to live in their town. How do we persuade liberal white women to stop pushing guilt as the operating system of life? Well I don't know what to do about the fact that most of the bad ideas are coming from one segment of the population. What do you do about that? There does seem to be a market segment that is the problem and it does seem to be single white women. So I've never known…
