 Because everything tell you guys through Hollywood, through books, through music, through our entire culture is that white men are bad. White men, they're bad, they have to be pushed to the back, they shouldn't be listened to. But what that's done to your generation and even some of those little older than you and those definitely younger than you is it has created hopelessness in many of these guys. Hopelessness, they're lost, they grow up in a broken home or maybe just a really bad home. No one is there for them as they're growing up. They spend time hours and hours alone, which is what do they do with their time when they're alone? They don't have an after school job if they're in high school. Maybe they probably don't play a sport. So they're spending hours and hours time alone which turns them to all kinds of bad things. Porn on the Internet, reading crazy stuff in chat rooms and God knows who's in there and saying what they're saying. A lot of time playing video games and I know people don't like to demonize video games, but I do think that maybe has a role there for certain people. That was sitting Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claiming that supposed discrimination against white men leads to them watching porn and playing video games. OK. So I'm going to first have to preface this conversation with a citation needed. Second of all, I have to say that as a white man myself, I don't think I've ever faced discrimination. In fact, I know I've never faced discrimination specifically because I'm white. I don't even think another white person has called me a honky, but yet I still enjoy porn and video games. Perhaps I'm a degenerate for other reasons, but I mean if she's claiming that there's this correlation here between discrimination and liking porn and video games, then how do you explain me enjoying porn and video games? Mom, I'm just kidding. If you're watching this, by the way, I hate porn. It's disgusting. But how do you explain that? She just she talks out of her ass and makes things up like it's got to be really convenient to be a conservative because you don't ever have to look up your position. You just make it up. And then when people call you on it, you say that it's fake news. So what is, first of all, what is their definition of discrimination for white men? What are some examples that they provide us with? Now, there's no concrete examples, no anecdotes, but she does say one example, which is pop culture, I guess, priming people to think that white men are bad and pushing them behind. And really what it sounds like she's saying implicitly is diversity because we see less men and we see more women and people of color. Well, then that must suggest that white men are inherently bad. Nobody thinks that unless you're a snowflake and you want to be perceived to be the victim just because more people have representation in culture and politics that doesn't inherently make you a victim. If greater representation for other people feels like oppression to you that says more about you than the other people. But that's the only example that they provide us with here. Oh, well, yeah, men are getting pushed back in culture. OK, you're not you're not providing us with any examples here. How exactly is this anti-white message covertly being delivered to us? Is it subliminal? It just she says things and she doesn't think them through. It's just her entire view of the world is not, you know, driven by empiricism or facts or data. It's just her opinion and her very stupid opinion that I add. Now, the other problem with this is that she suggests that there's something inherently wrong with porn and video games. I mean, everything is fine in moderation, of course. But when it comes to video games in particular, there is a study that was just released that proves gaming not only boosts brain activity, but it leads to better decision making skills. I mean, there's a plethora of benefits with gaming, not to mention it helps people to relax. That's why I love video gaming. It helps me to relax. You know, I enjoy it. But according to her, it's inherently bad. I mean, this is, you know, when you live in your own bubble so much that you never escape it, that you think that anything that is foreign to you, even something like video games. Well, you know, it must be bad because I don't like video games. Play one. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe you'll talk less and learn something from video games. Perhaps history, right? Perhaps, you know, you need these decision making skills. So maybe you should play some video games, Margie Taylor Green. I'd recommend Elden Ring, but I don't think that you'd be capable of beating that. Not a lot of people are. I did, though, but not to brag. Anyways, I get caught up on video games. She also said something that stood out to me. She said that another consequence of anti-white discrimination is reading crazy stuff in chat rooms. Oh, like QAnon. So look, what she's saying here, like if you are a young man who feels isolated, I think that you could plausibly become radicalized by some far right message board or, you know, subreddit or something of that nature. But she herself has become radicalized by message boards or Facebook groups, perhaps, because she's a QAnon or a former QAnon, but perhaps potentially a current QAnon. So I mean, I love how she says that that's a negative when she's been radicalized in the same exact way. If you go back to her videos before she was a member of Congress, she talked about how Q was a patriot. She was a she was an actual Kool-Aid drinker when it comes to Q. Now, this interview is really bizarre to me. I've got to point that out. And let me put on my tinfoil hat for a moment because the individual who interviewed her is an 18-year-old college student. And on his YouTube channel, he has 990 subscribers. And his very first video is a lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson. And just a couple of weeks later, he already scored an interview with a sitting member of Congress. That's kind of weird. So the question is what right wing billionaire decided to like wish this person into existence with a lot of money, who has the connections that got this person prominence when they came out of nowhere. That's that's one thing that I think we need to keep an eye on because right wing funders of these media outlets, they prop up these outlets. Like I'd love to know how well a Charlie Kirk or a Ben Shapiro would do without all this money behind them, because people on the left, we actually have to survive without the funding of billionaires, believe it or not. Most of us don't even do advertisements. But yet these right wing people, they come into existence out of nowhere. And they're interviewing members of Congress and prominent members of right wing media. And that's a little bit sus to me. Now, one other topic that they touched on pretty prominently throughout the course of this entire interview was Christian nationalism. Now, yes, we talked about this stupid stuff in this interview, the dumb things that Marjorie Taylor Greene said. It's always something that's going to be entertaining to me. But what's really an issue is the promotion of Christian nationalism. And Marjorie Taylor Greene on numerous occasions has promoted Christian nationalism, and this is a dangerous, fascistic ideology. Now, I do want to address that because I think that's more important. I don't have another clip for you because I don't want to promote this right wing YouTuber who's new to the game too much. But I do want to draw your attention to somebody who knows about this. And that individual is Benjamin Dixon. Now, he published an article on his substack titled The Futurist Progressive that goes into great detail, explaining the dangers of Christian nationalism. And I can't read all of it because it's really in depth and long. But I do just want to share a couple of paragraphs because this is by far one of the most comprehensive pieces on Christian nationalism that I have ever read. And it directly ties Christian nationalism to white supremacy and the history of white supremacy. And it's very informative and I would highly encourage you to check this out. But just to give you a little bit of a taste, let me read a few paragraphs here. Benjamin Dixon writes, with no regard for the unconstitutionality of their political crusade, this coalition of Christian nationalists is executing with precision a 50 year agenda to make America Christian again and to gain the power to punish sins with the force of the law. The case of Nebraska teenager, Celeste Burgess and her mother, Jessica, who are currently awaiting trial for violating the state's ban on abortions is an ominous shadow of what is to come. Each faction of today's conservative movement has fallen in line with the theocratic agenda to dominate every aspect of American society on behalf of the God of Christian nationalism from the judicial activism of religious sell its on the Supreme Court to the violence of the January 6th insurrection, conservatives, whether loyal to Donald Trump or to the Republican Party, have all made clear their intentions to rule America despite democracy. God is simply a justification for their political ambitions. Christian nationalism has been for white men in America, what religion was for European rulers throughout Western civilization, a dependable tool of justification for the political ambition of powerful men. God is even depicted as a white man for their convenience. It is in the name of Christ that hundreds of thousands were slaughtered throughout the crusades and the inquisitions. Religion was used to justify the enslavement of Africans in America. When black Christians prayed for deliverance from slave masters, they were praying to be delivered from the power of white Christian men. Our rational humans to follow this religious sect down a race to the bottom simply because disgruntled white Christian men feel entitled to control society, even without a majority. Are we to be guided by men who cannot live up to their own moral standards, but are so offended by addressing individuals by their preferred pronouns that they feel democracy must be overthrown and will stop there. I don't want to read too much because I want you to read the article for yourself. I'll link to it down below. But yes, this is all really, really important. And it speaks to what Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to tackle here. I don't want to downplay this idea that men today, maybe perhaps they feel as if, you know, they're isolated, they're alone. Social media does that to people because this is a phenomenon that's happening, right? The rise of incels is something that I think is really a serious thing that we all need to take, take notice of. But to address this, that doesn't mean that you impose Christian nationalism or theocracy on this entire country. There are underlying factors that lead to this current state of young men. And it's not just young white men. It's a lot of people in this country who are suffering under our current neoliberal, late-stage capitalist regime. That's exactly what's driving a lot of this problem here. But for individuals who are very simple-minded, they think, well, you know, you know, I see that there's problems in this country. So therefore the solution obviously is Christian nationalism. The problems that we face are obviously the result of God being driven out of the public sphere. In fact, that's what the host who interviewed Marjorie Green said at the beginning of this interview. And Marjorie Green was just grinning along, loving it because she also agrees. You know, these individuals, they don't believe in applying a policy solution to public problems other than just saying, well, the solution must be God. Our education system is falling apart. That's because prayer was taken out of schools. What health care in this country is in shambles? Well, that's because we're not praying enough. I mean, the solution to everything for these people is more religion. And if we just have God intervene, their perception of God in particular intervene in every area, every facet of life, every institution. Well, then that's what's going to make things better. But that's delusional. Religion will only make things worse, especially this disgusting fascistic Christian nationalism. So that's all I have to say about this read Benjamin Dixon's article and laugh every time you hear Marjorie Green open up her vile mouth because odds are she's either going to say something hateful or stupid. In this instance, she said something deeply stupid. And I'm always here to laugh at Marjorie Taylor Green.
