o question about it. I think any objective person who watched CNN, if there is such a thing as an objective person, an objective person looking at CNN and MSNBC would say oh it's clear that you're just making news about things that your viewers want to watch. And they like Russia. They like Trump legal jeopardy porn. So they're giving it to them. The net effect of that is that Trump is essentiall…

And by the way if I ever get killed, which I think is a pretty high likelihood, I'd put the odds of maybe 30%. I'd say the odds of me being killed by a citizen for something that was in the fake news before I would die naturally are roughly thirty percent I would say. And it's stuff like this.
So how does Google get away with hate speech? You know I've decided to go harder at this. I was kind of letting this whole Google trying to kill me situation, I was trying to not let it get to me. You know just let it run a little bit, see if it peters out. But the more I think about it and the more I look at, let's say, Sargon of Akkad being kicked off Patreon for hate speech, which I think we agree probably was not what he had in his mind. He wasn't actually hating on anybody. In fact he was the opposite.
But this Google example is unambiguous. You don't have to wonder if it's hate speech. Drawing somebody in a Nazi outfit is clearly hate speech. And Google is running this on their platform. Now how does Google get away with racism? Because that's what it is, right? I mean have you ever seen one of those? The last time you saw like a woman or a black guy photoshopped into a Nazi outfit? You don't see that. It's white adult males. It's racism. There's no other name for it.
So let's just call it out. I'm going to start a new hashtag. What's a good hashtag? Racist Google. How about #RacistGoogle. Let's see if that one's on there yet. Well I think I'll tweet this out while you're watching. I'll take the picture of it. Here you can be part of history. Well we'll make our hashtag right now. I got a tweet out. Hashtag racist Google won't take down the photoshopped image of me in a Nazi uniform. Why? Why not? Why not?
What's the name of their CEO? Pichai. Pichai. How do you pronounce that? Sundar. There it is. I'll put him in there. All right. Hashtag #RacistGoogle won't take down the photoshopped image of me in a Nazi uniform. Why not? Now I'm pretty sure people have complained about it so it's not a question of whether they know about it or not. So let me include that so people can see the picture. There we go.
Yeah so I'm including Sundar Pichai. Is that how you pronounce it? I don't know how to pronounce it. #RacistGoogle won't take down the photoshopped image of me in a Nazi uniform. Why not? This marks me for death. Tweet.
All right so why don't you do me a favor and retweet #RacistGoogle. Let's see where is that tweet. I want to make sure I got it posted. And by the way you know I like to be fair. When I reported this to Twitter it was down in less than a day. So Twitter actually understands what hate speech looks like you know in this context and they did their job. So I have no complaint with Twitter on this topic. But Google, it's still there. Still there.
So we've got 11 retweets. Let's see how big we ca

n make this. Now I do think the odds of me being assassinated because of stuff like this about 30 percent between now and the time I would have naturally died. All right that's all I have for now. I'm going to go do something else and let's see if #RacistGoogle fixes this hate speech. And I'll talk to you later.
