You can't "masculinity" your way out of oppression

[00:00:00]Somewhere in this world, there's a guy who is probably 6 ft tall, jacked, but he's woke. People are looking at all the things that are happening and they're like, "Please, where is that guy?" He's not there. Yes, there are good men, but the idea that this is the guy that you got to wait for to save the world, I think that's just like emblematic of the Platner situation.

[00:00:23]You can't masculinity your way out of oppression. You can't masculinity your way out of your situation, man. I see people still struggle with this. I I've seen people struggle with this for a while. It's always the like, "Why are men so lonely?" Male loneliness crisis, but the male loneliness crisis is always about like, "Oh, our men are straight men being catered to in the way that makes them feel strong and straight and masculine."

[00:00:51]>> [laughter] >> You know? It was never a conversation that was very inclusive of like queer men, like gay men. Oh, they've got their community, but what about straight men, you know? But like conversations about like you got to get fit. You got to do push-ups for Palestine on the left. All of these things were signs to me of, "Okay, long way to go." Because at heart, folks are still obsessed with this idea that the real way to see the world is weakness versus strength. Am I weak or am I strong? And people get real obsessed with that characterization.

[00:01:25]It's always, "The left is weak, pathetic." And never like, "Hey, how do we get more stuff done?" Like you know what I mean? Like it's always this characterization that's so obsessive over presenting as strong. There's this characterization then of the enemy being strong. Like seeing Israel as like so strong, as seeing the far right as like, "Oh, they're so strong. Their strength.

[00:01:48]How can we compete with their strength?"

[00:01:50]And um what you have to understand is like it's not strength that makes the oppressor oppress. You can very much argue it's the opposite, you know, it's fear and weakness in the oppressor that makes them oppress the oppressed, right?

[00:02:04]But then we get into semantic argument.

[00:02:07]But power is not a strength thing. It's just a systemic privileging. And I don't mean privilege like white privilege. I mean privilege like this is the focus.

[00:02:18]This is what it's for. The world is set up so that the United States and Israel commit genocide against Palestinians.

[00:02:25]The world is set up so that the Congo is imperialized and terrorized and people are practically enslaved in the Congo to mine cobalt. So, that's what the world does. If you do that, you get more success. And if you do something that's the opposite of that, you get less success. That's how the world has been set up. And I don't mean the world like naturally, like the Earth. It's just might versus right. No, I mean like the global system, like the organization of the world. It has nothing to do with them being stronger. It has to do with them having a system that has existed for hundreds and hundreds of years that has been put in place so that they can do this. What happens is that we we get this presentism, this obsession with the present, and that's where the strong versus weak thing comes from. It's always like, "Well, if we were just strong and they were just weak, then the world would be changed." It's not the best way to look at it. You're in the middle of hundreds and hundreds of year processes. 99.99% of it is completely out of your control.

[00:03:24]If you don't accept that, then you're not going to get very much done because you're going to be way too focused on things that you can't control. And then the things that you could be helping, that need your attention, you're not going to be doing. So, this is what people do when they obsess over a masculinity hegemony. Even when they consider themselves leftists, and they consider themselves open, you know, not homophobic, not queerphobic, not transphobic, not misogynistic. To a like a masculine thing. To have an obsession with masculinity is to be operating under this view of the world like those things that are socially considered masculine are the most important things. Does that make sense? This goes for the larger thing and it goes for the individual thing. If you're a a guy, a dude if you will, your problems are not going to get solved by you getting more masculine. It's just not going to happen. You might feel better about yourself because by meeting more social expectations of masculinity, you are receiving a more positive response, a more safe and peaceful response from people outside of you and that makes you feel better about yourself and it makes you feel better in your environment. But that's all just perception. Like that's all just the perception of others toward you and how much you care about it. I would say the vast, vast, vast majority of things that you need to do, you, talking to you right now, I don't care how you identify, like you, the vast, vast, vast majority of things that you need to do in order for A, your life to get better and more livable and B, for you to be a better contributor to making the world a better place, to fighting systems of oppression, etc., to fighting evil, the vast, vast majority of those things are things that are considered feminine. I used a lot of words there, so I'll say it now, the simplified version of it. If you're going to get through this, you're going to have to get grillier.

[00:05:19]I could peel all the layers back and like there's nothing natural about like what is masculine and what is feminine, those are human concepts, those are socialized concepts, they're relatively new social concepts over the past few hundreds of years, thousands arguably.

[00:05:32]There's nothing essential about masculinity, there's nothing essential about femininity. When we talk about things like divine feminine and divine masculine, that's just another terminology for essential opposites. So it's the yin and yang. Yin and yang, you know, exist in so far as anything exists. But like feminine and masculine, like if you're not thinking of them just in that abstract sense that has nothing to do with like you being called a man or you being called a woman, yeah, they don't exist. They're not natural things, right? Elliot saying force fem arc, here we go. I say this is somebody who's always been kind of seen as like a less masculine guy. So, there's a few different types of people that don't like my channel or don't like me on the internet. It's a very small phenomenon regardless. Like I'm very flattered all the time by how positive people's responses are to me online. But I see often times when I see negative responses, a lot of them are dudes. Like they're left dudes or they're lib dudes or they're right dudes. Right?

[00:06:25][laughter] You know, they have a very straight and masculine way of talking about it. And they're always like, "You're just a lib." And so if you're a leftist and you're calling me a lib, what I what I know what you mean is you're girly. You know what >> [laughter] >> I mean? Like I know that's what you're saying. Cuz like my last video was about why are white people like this with dogs? What is with white people and their dogs, right? And I got, you know, one or two comments from these types of dudes and they're like, "This liberal identity politics nonsense. This isn't what you have to be paying attention to.

[00:06:53]You got to be paying attention to class.

[00:06:55]You got to pay attention to anti-capitalism or imperialism." And it's like my video I was talking about the IDF.

[00:07:02]I was talking about attack dogs used by the police and by the IDF. I was talking about colonialism. Like it wasn't really that hard to see. But what their problem with it is that it came off girly.

[00:07:11]You know, it came off girly. And so because it's girly, it's lib. That's what they say instead of girly.

[00:07:17]>> [laughter] >> And like this is one of the types of people that oppose him. Another type of person, as you saw as you saw when I did my white feminism video, is like people who try to do the opposite who are like, "You're raging misogynist. You're male chauvinist, etc." That kind of, you know, a lot of the times it's just like this person's not willing to hear a critique of like white women and what they do to women of color. And the fact that it's coming from me as a guy, it's like, "Okay, well, that you must be a raging misogynist. That is what it is.

[00:07:43]Like and sometimes people critique me fairly and and sometimes they'll be like, "Hey, you have a bias about this.

[00:07:49]You were a little bit misogynistic when you said this." and then I check myself, you know, ideally. But either way, um the point is what people don't like is this idea like the good guy isn't coming. They don't like to hear that somewhere in this world there's a guy he's probably 6 ft tall but not 6 ft tall like me cuz I'm skinny but like 6 ft tall and like kind of diesel jacked jawline and and he's got a good beard and he's got pecs and he, you know, works a very blue-collar masculine job, you know, he works in the coal mines or he's an underwater welder.

[00:08:25]>> [laughter] >> But he's woke and he's going to fight for the right thing. Like that guy is going to come, you know? People are looking at all the things that are happening and they're like, "Please, where is that guy? Where is he?" And it's just like, he's not there. Yes, there are good men. Yes, there are plenty of men that I am friends with that are amazing people. But the idea that this is the guy that you got to wait for to save the world, I think that's just like emblematic of the Platner situation. They want a hero and they want that hero to look like the hero that they've been told a hero will look like. They don't want to think about how oh, but that was told to you because they were trying to cement an image. The stories you got told were white supremacist stories. The stories you got told were patriarchal. They don't want to hear that. They're like, "I know, I know, I know, but but the he does exist though, right?" And so like you look at a guy and it's like all the red flags are there. With Platner it was like 50 different red flags. I didn't talk about Platner on my channel because I didn't follow his situation. I don't usually talk about electoral politics. I did like dabble in it a little bit in 2025. Didn't really go the way that I wanted it to go. Like I just didn't feel like people were getting what I was trying to say and mostly I talk about social and cultural things, right? The girly subjects. But this is what y'all did with Platner. Some of you guys like yes, it's white men primarily, right?

[00:09:42]Cuz they want to see themselves. They want to see a guy that like looks like his kind of guy go let's go white knight in shining armor, right? And that redeems you. It redeems all the ways you internalize colonialism. It redeems all the ways you internalize these ideas of gender, these ideas of race, right? Of course you want to see your ways of life redeemed if you haven't accepted that you have to let them go. It just doesn't work that way. Those things that you've been taught are masculine. Either they're just not masculine, they're just regular good things that take on different looks, or they're not good things. Like it just That's just I I don't Don't shoot the messenger, man.

[00:10:21]For instance, like there's no reason to believe that like dominating somebody in a debate matters or works or does anything. It's just ego, right? Shutting somebody down, dissing on, making them feel bad about themselves. This is this very masculine coded thing we do on the internet all the time. Men go online and they just talk all the talk about like how much they hate other guys, how much a specific content creator is the worst piece of [ __ ] in the world. It's like war, right? It's like their way of being soldiers. Cuz nobody taught them how to use a gun or use a sword or they they have to keep holding themselves back in public cuz they really want to get into some some scrapping. They really want to be violent, but they they know that it's bad cuz other people tell them that it's bad. So they take that energy and instead of like really just like being like okay, well if it's bad then I got to program that out of myself. They're like, okay, well let me just use all that pent up energy in a space where I can pretend like I'm not doing what I'm doing. And it's sad cuz it's like like anybody that you see who's doing the masculine thing, who's doing the like I am the smartest and greatest and strongest, who's trying to like puff their chest out, anybody you see doing that is like easily scrutinizable in the eyes of the patriarchy. It's always like, "No, your neck is too skinny, bro.

[00:11:38]Like, what are you talking about?" You know? Like, you can't win that game. So, it's like people are praying to a god that hates them, but they just keep doing it.

[00:11:48]Meanwhile, name the problem. And if I tell you the solution, it's going to sound girly. Most of the things that are keeping your life, like making the good things happen in your life right now, or most of the good things that are occurring in the world right now, in abstract, they sound girly. People think those things are girly. And also, literally, we would have nothing without them. Christy Crispy, yeah. The good white patriarch, he looks and acts like he upholds all but the bad white supremacist ideals to better society, and upholds all but the bad patriarchal ideals to protect us.

[00:12:21]Yeah, he's our guy on the inside. He's He's not there, bro. Literally, if nobody cleans, we're all dead. It's pretty badass, if you think about it. If you word it a certain way, it's real masculine. Cleaning workers protect us from the violent >> [laughter] >> the violent onslaughts of disease. They fight against the the villainous bacteria of nature, and they hold up society like this. If nobody cleans, we all get sick and die. And yet, men in the chat, do you want to be a cleaning worker? Would you be a, you know, cleaning lady? How much time do you spend cleaning? Do you like to clean?

[00:12:59]Like, we talk about labor. We talk about class struggle. We need to talk about class issues in this country, economic and bread-and-butter issues in this country. And folks still talk about like manufacturing.

[00:13:10]>> [laughter] >> You've been a cleaning worker, jokes on you. Hey.

[00:13:13]People talk about like manufacturing jobs, we're going to bring them back. We need auto workers. And it's like, you know who's [ __ ] working class? You know who's who's who's suffering from like class oppression? It's literally the cleaning lady. It's {quote} {unquote} Yolanda, right? Any country in the world you have this significant workforce of usually migrant women.

[00:13:34]We'll get into this in a separate convo.

[00:13:36]Usually migrant women who spend 8 to 12 hours in a day, sometimes longer, doing literally like backbreaking work, physical difficult work, so that men can sit down and go, "How do we save the world?" And meanwhile they have no idea that that woman is there. Or they'll just say, "Thank you." And then that's it. At home care workers. You know, like cooking. You don't eat, you die. If you don't eat, you die. If you eat things that are not good for you, your body wears down. It can't handle that well.

[00:14:07]It creates health problems down the road. If you don't eat enough times, if you don't eat the right amount of XYZ nutrient and vitamin that suits your dietary needs. And yet, you don't hear leftist men on the internet talking about, "Fellas, it's time to cook. If we're going to do something about this world, if we're going to do something to fight evil, we need to get in the kitchen right now." You want to sit around and think, "How do we stop the billionaire? What What if we create a tax incentive program to stop the billionaires?" You know, you want to do all that [ __ ] You want to sit there and we have to figure out the exact tendency, the exact ideology that is the correct ideology, and then I need to go and spend hours and hours telling other people about that ideology so that they learn, so that they can get educated, so that they can become the right thinkers, so that we can all unite, and then we can we could do a general strike, and then after we do the general strike, we're going to Nothing's getting cooked. You haven't cooked anything. The working class is the working class, and it's a guy with a hammer and sickle. It's not a broom and a spatula. So like, in terms of world problems, if this Gramsci Plan [ __ ] doesn't teach you, which it won't, let the next thing teach you. Let the next time that a man lets people down because he keeps mistreating people and his leftist organization, or he keeps taking advantage of people, he doesn't actually stand by his word, etc., etc. Next time that that happens, let that be the moment that you go, "Yeah, you know what? This masculinity [ __ ] is cooked.

[00:15:25]Like I I can't really do this." You know, you see sometimes the smartest guys you know, >> [laughter] >> and they're in an argument online with people that they don't have any need to talk to. And they're in the comments going back and forth, back and forth for hours. And they're calling people out of their name, and they're making fun of people's looks. And it's like, "Why?

[00:15:47]Why?" This is where we have to talk have to talk about it on a personal level.

[00:15:51]The issues that you're facing right now, right? If we don't talk about them in the in the political sense, because the political sense is always there. But if we but if we focus on like, okay, individually like what are you going to do? Let's say we're talking about the the the male loneliness crisis, or we're talking about mental health, or we're talking about self-esteem, or let's say we're talking about bad relationships with people, or we're talking about like not making enough money, or not feeling like you make enough money. Again, you're not going to masculinity your way out of that. Yeah, yeah, we're cooked.

[00:16:20]Cooked. Is there a cookie in the room right now? So, it's like, if I'm going to be like, "I'm lonely. I don't have enough friends. But I don't want to learn how to cook for friends. And like I don't take pleasure in just cooking for people and not getting paid for it, or not getting complimented for it. Or I don't want to hang out with girls unless they're going to date me."

[00:16:38]Like then like you're not really interested in solving your problem, my friend. You're interested in something else. See, old grease What's it What it sounds like is that you're using too much heat. I don't cook steak. I don't eat steak. But you got to sear on both sides and then let it sit. Which is you do cook that on high heat, but you don't want to leave it on for the same amount of time that you might want to do so with like vegetables. Anyway, it's just like the idea that like I'm going through something, and the way that I'm going to get through it is by doing the same [ __ ] that got me here in the first place.

[00:17:05]I am sick of hearing we're cooked as well, so let up. It's like even the we're cooked thing, it's like it's so masculine. Because women don't get to be like, "Oh, we're cooked. I don't I'm I'm not going to clean." Y'all have programmed women to be like, well, somebody's got to clean the the house, somebody's got to wash the dishes, somebody's got to do the laundry, somebody's got to cook dinner. So, women don't get to just uh or cook.

[00:17:27]But, men men love to talk about things in this absolute sense of things are destroyed, things are over, it's over, so I don't have to do anything. I don't have to do anything. That's why so many men are also obsessed with like these highly dramatic like declarations of things being over. It's over. What's over? Cuz somebody's going to have to wash the dishes. These are just the kinds of things that I think about a lot. I feel as though when you start embracing in your own life the things that make it seem like you're girly, that you would have originally kind of walked away from or not paid attention to because women do those things. But, when you start like doing them, like gardening or like grooming or things like this, things kind of start explaining themselves. Everything just starts to kind of make sense. That's why gardening is so important. Or like, you know, having plants or having pets, it's so important. Why? Because it's like, well, somebody's got to feed this guy.

[00:18:21]Somebody's got to feed this cat. Cooked or not, world ends or not, I got to feed this cat. I got to care about this cat.

[00:18:26]I got to do something for this cat. I got to do something for this plant. I got to These tomatoes are on the way.

[00:18:31]These potatoes are on the way. I got to keep watering these plants, you know.

[00:18:35]Most of what masculinity is, listen, no, all of it. All of what masculinity is is a social construct that exists to situate one end of an extreme as the most important end of the extreme, to privilege that end of the extreme, and to privilege it at the expense of anything that isn't that. If the opposites are like creation and destruction, the destruction part gets tied into masculinity. Men are destroyers, men are conquerors. And then, all of your life, in order to meet that masculine construct, is literally you just focusing on Yin and not the Yang, or Yang and not the Yin. On top of you internalizing all these biases and focusing yourself on gaining the approval of people on the outside who will estimate whether or not you are worthy based on how masculine you are, how well you fit into that destruction part. And then you wonder, "God, why does it feel like everything's just like being destroyed? Why does it feel like all of my relationships just kind of explode and I'm always imploding internally? Why does it feel like nothing ever sustains in my life?" And it's cuz like because you were obsessed with being masculine. There was no path towards happiness in your mind that could exist if it wasn't, "I need to be masculine." And so a lot of what gets grouped in then with feminine is literally just creation. The feminine is the creation, the body that does reproduction, the body that can be impregnated and carry a baby. We call that a woman's body. We call that feminine. And we want to make sure that those women are controlled as a resource in society. So we make sure that they have specific rules and things that they stick to. We create the social concept of femininity. And it's like, "Just focus on that creation and don't think about anything else. Be at home and cook and garden and nurture children." And then all of these things that have to do with creation and nurturing literally become the polar opposite of what you want in your life cuz you don't want to garden or you don't want to take care of pets. Every time you do these things too, you got to like "Yeah, you know, I'm the cool chef at home with me and my cool food that I got." You can't even let yourself chill.

[00:20:40]Like you still got to be stiff and muscular and you got to you got to make sure you do gym reps because you can't be a skinny male chef at home that looks kind of girly. Nobody likes that. You got to be the big buff chef with tattoos. There's thousands of these on social media right now. Big buff chef guy, "Hey, I'm at home. I'm doing cooking." And then the food has to be like honey glazed >> [laughter] >> The food has to be like hot honey glazed lemon pepper salmon wings. And so it's not even like you're cooking like for sustenance and you're cooking for like nutrition and you're cooking for like everyday purposes. It's always like I'm cooking for show. I'm cooking for the big meal that people go, "Oh, he's such a good cook." But, like those are the guys that they cook like once or twice a week, show off, and impress their friends, take pictures of it, and then they don't cook the rest of the time.

[00:21:26]They don't cook the rest of the time.

[00:21:27]They can't throw together some hot some black beans in the pot and some white rice. They're too good They're too good for that. They're too good for that. Or they don't get inspired. Oh, I'm just not inspired to cook. And cooking is so it's so exhausting and it's so cuz you just turned it into a new masculine thing. You were so obsessed with making this creative thing, this social construct of masculinity, that you've tethered it to destructive tendencies, like over exhaustion, like overkill, and performativity. People say performing, right? Performitivity because what Why are you trying to be masculine? Because you want approval. Because you want your friends to say you're very masculine.

[00:22:00]You want people online to say, "Oh, he's so fine." Would you think that masculinity would be a necessary part of building something new, a cycle, if you will, destroying the old to build the new. We'll have new terms and new ideas that are way better than this when we build the new world. People are going to be like, "You know, when we look back, people People were really weird. They had this thing called gender, which was like you were either one thing or the other thing, and then you had to try to be whatever that one thing was depending on how you were born. And then all the stuff that had to do with like destruction and like strength and and power and fire went into the one side.

[00:22:34]They called it masculinity, and then all the stuff that had to do with like healing and like nurturing and creativity, they they put it in the other side and they call it femininity.

[00:22:42]It was really weird cuz it's like those things go together. You can't have one without the other. Like they had no balance in their society. So, that's what they're going to do in the future."

[00:22:50]A short 6-hour Leftist Cooking video.

[00:22:52]They were so obsessed with biology. This is something that, you know, a lot of theorists have already talked about now about colonialism, colonial gender, Western bodies, etc. Obsession with biology, birthing bodies, we got to call them women.

[00:23:05]There's men and then there's women cuz like one is like after the first one because like obviously it's less important, but also it's so important that we have to like dehumanize it and turn it into like a resource that we control in society. Yeah, exactly BC.

[00:23:19]Like it's just like this idea of gender and these ideas of masculine and feminine, we're evolving past them.

[00:23:25]Yeah, Mulan. Shout out to Mulan, man.

[00:23:26]And it's like men put themselves in this position where it's like, "Yo, I got to got to get my money up." I've been struggling with this for so long. I've only recently started to like relax. Got to get this money. I had that like very ingrained in me from like a young age just due to observation and other [ __ ] And then men are like chasing money and like it's just dopamine. Like it's just a dopamine chase cuz it's like if they make money, they go, "Yeah." Or they try to act stoic and they're like, "Yeah, that's what I'm supposed to do." And then when they don't make money, they get [ __ ] devastated. They start treating people like [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> And it's like, "Well, what's the purpose of having this money? Okay, so that I can take care of myself, so that I can take care of my friends and family, so I can just enjoy my life." Okay, well, so then enjoying your life is the most important thing and like taking care of your friends and family is the most important thing, right? Well, yeah.

[00:24:17]Well, it's like you're getting this money, but then like your friends and family are like not being taken care of, they're struggling with things you don't even know about cuz you don't talk to them and like they need help with all these things that you're not offering help with cuz you're so focused on the job, the job, the job, so you're not cooking, you're not helping around the house, you're not taking care of the kids or whatever. And then you're not enjoying yourself.

[00:24:35]>> [laughter] >> You're so focused on flexing because if you don't flex, like you don't get any other form of enjoyment. And they're like, "Oh, yeah, that's crazy." And then they just keep doing the same [ __ ] over and over again. It doesn't matter how many books you read, it doesn't matter how much thinking you do, how much talking to to women you do, it doesn't matter how many feminist ideas you agree with. A lot of you still chase masculinity in a society in which masculinity, you admit, is overly dominant to the point of toxicity. So, either you don't care about the binary at all and cuz you recognize that the binary is a social construct and you're not interested in playing by that social rule, so you're like, "I don't care about being masculine or feminine. I care about what do I think is correct, what do I think is right, what do I think matters." Either you do that or you look and you say, "Well, if the masculinity is dominant and then it's really it's really bad and like things are going really bad because there's all this overkill of masculinity, I need to get girlier. I need to get more feminine to take care of myself and deal with the [ __ ] that I can't get because I the masculinity is overwhelming and to also help others by bringing more femininity to the world. You either got to do one of the two. Both of those can be very valid ways. It's just a matter of like, do I accept the binary or not? Not even accept like, "Oh, it's true." But, accept like, "Do I work with it or not?

[00:25:48]Do I work with the binary or do I not?"

[00:25:50]But, men don't choose. Leftist men, men who care, men who try to be good men, they don't choose. They don't want to say, "Well, I'm not interested in the binary." They do care about being masculine and so they do care about masculinity and femininity or they want to accept the binary, but then they don't want to accept how lopsided the binary is right now. And what that is is cuz they say you don't want to see social power. You don't want to seed social power. You don't want other men to see you as weak. You're scared of what comes with other men seeing you as weak. You've got men in your head, your grandfather, your dad, your uncle, that if you do something, in your mind, they might not even be alive anymore, but you're thinking about them and what they would say about you, you're stuck caring about things that are completely external to you and that will never satisfy you. We are the real soldiers.

[00:26:38]So, then it's like, surprise, surprise, you might need to take some time to reflect, to take time off, to meditate.

[00:26:45]You might want to do do some yoga, not just in terms of going to a yoga studio, but like some yoga philosophically. You want to get in tune with your body because the body is really important.

[00:26:56]Like in order for you to have intelligence, you have to have good bodily understanding. You have to know what your body's going through. You have to hear it, you have to feel it, you have to feel your subtle body. You got to do all that stuff. And then I say that and people like, "This [ __ ] girly [ __ ] You're just trying to say this is because you want girls to like you." And it's like, "Oh, me? I'm trying to say this cuz I want girls to like me? That's me? Me? Okay." Or they'll do what they like to do, like what Glitch Master kind of jokes about. "Stuff is woke and gay."

[00:27:25]Or some liberal [ __ ] There's a subsection of leftist men that are like and like I've fallen into this habit, too. I'm trying trying to change that because I was doing it before it was cool and now that it's cool, it's bad.

[00:27:36]You know how it goes. There's a subsection of leftist men that are just calling people liberals in place of calling people gay or calling people, you know, girly. It's like you could be the most anti-capitalist [ __ ] ever. If you don't say it in a way that sounds super masculine, "Destroy the oppressor." If you don't If you don't >> [groaning] >> If you don't do that, they'll be like, "Lib." It's like, I you We agree with each other. Haris like, "Yeah." Same [ __ ] Same [ __ ] over and over again. Bro, people act like it's just an American thing, too. It's happening in South America. It's happening in in Europe and Africa. It's happening like anywhere you look and see like there's an online left, there's a bunch of dudes on there that are like, "When you read State and Revolution, it is most important book in the world.

[00:28:19]Imperialism is highest form of capitalism." It's like, "Why are you talking like that, bro? You're Colombian." And Colombians just had an election. You might know that the vice president of Colombia currently is a black woman named Francia Márquez. And her work has been primarily in like working on international diplomatic relations between Colombia and Africa.

[00:28:39]And she has talked about how she's been essentially ousted from the president's cabinet. Like the president then stopped talking to her. They had multiple disagreements. She had people in the office apparently say like joke around that she was the help or something. And it's like there's so many things I want to say about this [ __ ] But the first and foremost thing is that like every time you see political news from the United States, resist the temptation to be like oh these US leftists because I promise you the same [ __ ] is happening with the left everywhere else. I promise you. I've had people from Brazil who are like oh the the white leftist problem?

[00:29:11]Oh it's big in Brazil. Oh it's real big in Brazil. People in Southeast Asia oh the the Filipino left is like the most [ __ ] misogynistic like it just happens everywhere, right? The person who won Abelardo who's modeling himself after Kele who's far right, who's a Trump sycophant. He won by like a percentage point, less than a percentage point. Gustavo Pedro was like my haters, the infighting haters on the left. It just is one of the reasons why you guys like folks are not ready is cuz it's like you guys really want to act like the United States is like unique not in terms of its evil because the evil done by the United States empire is unique of course. But like that US intra left politics is like some sort of anchor that's holding back the rest of the world's left. And it's like this is just called patriarchy. Like this is just called colonialism. Like a lot of y'all want to just left your way out of talking about patriarchy. A lot of you want to left your way out of talking about racism and colonialism. And meanwhile it's like we got you guys on tape. We have the receipts of like what happens when democratic socialists get in power in Latin America. We see your left in Latin America and it's [ __ ] misogynoir. Shocker. Like that not only is it misogynist is it guilty of misogynoir and abandoning women voters and black women and indigenous women but then doing so in a in a way that is a very clearly undermining its own goals.

[00:30:31]But why? Because these guys don't actually want the revolution. They haven't trained themselves. They've trained themselves to say the right things when asked the right questions.

[00:30:41]They have not actually trained themselves into caring about incorporating women at all. They haven't trained themselves into thinking about queer theory at all.

[00:30:49]They don't care. Like they're still not there yet. They might never get there.

[00:30:53]They might never get there. So I don't want to hear any of this [ __ ] from male leftists about like oh, it's liberalism and oh, you're not actually like leftists, you're like liberals and cuz you guys do it in the PSL, you do it in the DSA, you do it in Colombia, you do it in the United States, you do it in for the Philippines, you do it in Kenya, you do it everywhere, anywhere there are men who are leftists, they do the same [ __ ] It costs them in the electoral area. They lose elections. They struggle to mobilize them They struggle to address the actual needs of the working class cuz half of the working class is underpaid women working 16 hours a day grueling work cleaning, taking care of like patients, etc. Yeah, Chinita, exactly. You're they You're cared about fulfilling your own interests, which you know what? That's identity politics.

[00:31:40]That's identity politics. Anytime you see a leftist man go online and be talk about like oh, this is that [ __ ] This is not about class, this is about identity politics. That's him doing identity politics. The identity he's fighting for is white men.

[00:31:53]India like Kavisha's an India like White women will be like this is why the left will never win after you criticize Taylor Swift for having a husband at her wedding. See yeah, exactly. I've said many things about white feminism and white women. I've left it be. But yes, it's they don't want to let go of colonialism. I told a a YouTuber friend of mine this like yesterday. Every online political discussion is just a room that people enter so that they don't have to look at colonialism. Not only is putting down identity politics a privilege, it's just bad politics.

[00:32:23]You're just not going to mobilize anybody. Like who the [ __ ] What elections do you think you're going to win against the right wing by only appealing to men?

[00:32:31]They want to be the kings of castles, man. Like it's just What What I supposed to say?

[00:32:36]Do you know what I'm going to do?

[00:32:39]I'm going to get jacked. It's going to take me probably 10 years or something.

[00:32:42]But one day you're going to see me and I'm going to be muscular and I'll I'll be talking from here a little bit more.

[00:32:49]And the women in my chat and fams and and queer folks in my chat of all gender orientations are going to be like, "Okay, cool." And then at some point I'm going to be like talking about some other [ __ ] leftist content creator and I'm going to be like, "Fucking dude, that's right, e s." or something. People are going to be like, "Oh, uh" >> [laughter] >> I'm going to fully embrace it. I'm going to be all, "Oh, I'm masculine as fuck."

[00:33:14]And like all the [ __ ] that I've been saying, I'm just going to abandon it completely. I'm going to tell you guys not to eat vegetables, exactly. I'm going to be like eating meat on stream.

[00:33:23]People are going to be like, "Woah, pause. Eating meat." I'm going to say [ __ ] like that, but leftishly. That's what I'm going to do. Cuz that's what y'all want. You guys want this so bad.

[00:33:32]>> [laughter] >> Oh, dude, I'm scared. They want this so bad, bro. Y'all want a leftist who's jacked so bad.
