Transcripts

so Elon Musk had a pretty shocking

moment the other day that went kind of

viral and led to a bunch of Articles

talking about it look at this so there's

this uh Twitter account called autism

Capital which I know hilarious hilarious

name I see a lot of this stuff pop up on

my feed these days and uh look the

criticism that uh Twitter has just

become like a right-wing

Cesspool it's unavoidable right I mean

I can't go a week without seeing

some uh Hitler apologia on the timeline

like really I had criticisms of Jack and

the previous management of Twitter but

the criticisms for them are nothing

compared to the criticisms today this is

no longer like you know the Public

Square all opinions are welcome and

diverse viewpoints no now it's like um

you're going to see horrifically idiotic

right-wing on a regular basis

and you're going to see it all the time

okay so this ISM Capital uh account

tweeted The Following also known as the

Reich

effect Reich okay all right weird kind

of ominous interesting people who can't

defend themselves physically women and

Low T men parse information through a

consensus filter as a safety mechanism

they literally do not ask is this true

they ask Will others be okay with me

thinking this is true this makes them

very malleable to Brute Force

manufactured consensus if every screen

they look at says the same thing they

will they the same thing they will adopt

that position because their brain

interprets it as everyone in the tribe

believing it only High T alpha males and

a neurotypical People hey autists are

actually free to parse new information

with an objective is this true filter

this is why a republic of high status

males is best for decision making

Democratic but a democracy only for

those who are free to think so in other

words women and quote low tea males

they're not really free independent

thinkers so what we want is a democracy

but only for autistic dudes and dudes

with

six-packs so in other words you say you

want a democracy even though your

position is I'm anti-democracy I don't

want women to be able to vote I don't

want low te men to

how would in okay in practice how would

this even work do you want to like take

everybody's testosterone levels and you

got to be over certain line in order to

be able to vote and of course the women

are just immediately kicked to the curb

and uh do we test everybody for autism

and then uh let's say you're low te but

you have a touch of the tism does that

count are you allowed to vote do you get

like half a vote like guys this

is dumbass forchan Reddit

horeshit this is a person who who hasn't

left their mom's basement in 6 years

yelling cuz they didn't get their Dino

nuggies on time but they have a sense of

superiority and that everybody else is a

idiot because you know hey they

don't agree with me politically right or

I struggle to fit in therefore the

problem is with them it's like that

famous Tim pool clip or he you know

talking about dating and he's like the

problem's definitely not

me okay buddy all right in comes Captain

autism himself Elon Musk says

interesting observation in other words

yeah you know good point good

point this is an interesting observation

this is just authoritarian driil

people asking for philosopher Kings of

the autistic and the the roided

up okay look I've been tough on Elon

Musk for a very long time I'm not

anywhere near Tough Enough I'm just not

I need to be way tougher on this guy

let's call a spade of spade yeah he has

a lot of money okay he's also a

idiot every single day he goes out there

and says something that is just

mind-numbingly stupid mosquito

IQ level do you see this battle

that's been going on now with Brazil so

Brazil says to him look we had uh our

own version of January 6th you had

bolsonaro supporters storm the capital

and up and have a riot um you

got all this misinformation and

disinformation that's spreading on

social media which led to uh the

bolsonaro supporters doing that it's

genuinely destabilizing and and

threatening our democracy therefore here

we have a law they don't have a First

Amendment and a constitution like we do

they don't have free speech free

expression Etc like we do and so they

say look you got if you want Twitter SLX

to remain up in this country you're

going to have to abide by our rules and

our laws and that means some of these

big misinformation sprting accounts they

got to go right Elon Musk pretends to be

a martyr and fights it and acts like I

will not give I am a defender of free

speech I will not give into hold on

fella Elon Musk has

repeatedly given into censorship

attempts from the right-wing Hindu

nationalist Modi government of India and

the right-wing Theocratic erdogan

government of turkey he routinely

complies with what right-wing Theocratic

or authoritarian governments what they

say hey you can't allow this here you

can't allow that here he's like oh yes

sir absolutely sir no problem sir we'll

follow the law and then oh would you

look at that the one time he makes a big

stink and pretends like he supports Free

Speech it's because it's a left-wing

government led by

Lula wow what a what a surprise what a

coincidence so don't tell me you're some

principled Crusader for free speech if

you were which by the way based you

should have been I I'm Pro free speech I

wish he was actually consistent on that

then he would have told Modi to off

he would have told Eran to off he

would have told the other right-wing

authoritarian governments to off

and then you could say it to Lula and

and I'd certainly be on your side but

you can't say I'll give in to all the

right-wingers but I won't give into the

left Wier because then look the bottom

line is he's just sympathetic to

right-wing he's just and the

idea that he's anti-democracy I mean

he's making that crystal clear here by

the way remember this uh he this was a

moment on Twitter he very famously

responded to somebody what was it was it

in relation to Bolivia or Venezuela

there was one of these

countries where it looked like a a coup

was happening or was going to happen and

he very famously chimed in and responded

to somebody and he was serious when he

said this too he

said we will coup whoever we

want quote we will coup whoever we want

so there's another this isn't even this

isn't even evidence this is just proof

you're supporting coups of foreign

governments because you don't agree with

them okay so you you're not pro you're

just not so all the about

Enlightenment values and Western values

and this is what we represent and this

is what we stand for no out the window

we coup whoever we want uh oh

interesting observation to have us ruled

by a philos philosopher Kings of

autistic people and roed up

Freaks and then there's also this this

happened I believe the same day as the

other thing so Tucker Carlson had a guy

in his podcast Daryl Cooper and

um this guy just

said some things that were just

Preposterous on on the show he basically

said uh Winston Churchill was the chief

villain of World War II the chief

villain I wonder if anybody else

actually deserves that moniker more than

Winston Churchill now Winston Churchill

was a son of a and he was an

imperialist there are a lot of dead

bodies because of him in India and

elsewhere right but in the conflict of

World War II in particular was there

somebody who was worse than Winston

I don't know let me think about that one

a little bit so look at this this is

what Tucker says Daryl Cooper may be the

best and most honest popular historian

in the United States his latest project

is the most forbidden of all trying to

understand World War II okay so what was

said in that podcast Cooper recently

joined Carlson on an episode of the

Tucker Carlson show during their

conversation Cooper claimed that Winston

Churchill was the chief villain of World

War II because he quote was primarily

responsible for that war becoming what

it did he also claimed that the

Holocaust was some kind of unintended

consequence of Germany being quote

completely unprepared to deal with the

millions and millions of prisoners of

War according to Cooper Millions quote

ended up dead because there was no food

to feed them and German soldiers decided

it was quote more Humane to just finish

them off you know I'm not quite sure

that's exactly how it went down I'm

pretty sure there were concentration

camps and death camps and a stated

policy of complete annihilation of the

jewry I'm pretty sure that's I'm pretty

sure that is how it went out no uh you

know it was like an oopsie it was an

oops oop and the real Chief villain was

Winston Churchill and here is uh

Elon Musk chiming very interesting worth

watching oh is it is it

Elon now we're doing World War II

historical revisionism so this is what I

mean guys like social media has become a

Cess poool Independent Media New Media

has become a Cesspool it's a

bunch of misinformation spewing Freaks

and um one of the person that one of the

people that's at the top of uh the food

chain here in terms of he owns one of

the major social media sites he's gone

bro he's mentally just gone he's just so

out of it he's so extreme you scroll

through his on a regular basis and

it's just the worst driil you've ever

seen in your

life and I I still can't get over the

massive hypocrisy of portraying

himself as you know the Free Speech hero

and then he goes in there and what does

he do he he bans journalists who

report that he doesn't like he's

incredibly ban happppy

he loves censorship as long as he's the

censor and guess what he gets to be the

censor they have a they have a

you know like a warning if somebody puts

the word cisgender they hit you with

like a warning underneath right saying

like violates violates the terms and

services he says oh that's hate speech
