We learned almost instantaneously after this shooting outside of Dallas, that this
person was some sort of Nazi, was a big fan of right-wing content and everything.
And in theory, that might provide an opportunity for
some of the most extreme figures on the right, those who regularly advocate for
violence, to think maybe there's consequences to this.
Well, maybe not, because have you considered the alternative to self
reflection, which is just saying it's a false flag.
It's much easier on the mind, and simple minded people find it very appealing.
Here's examples of that, when we find out that this guy has spent years posting on
right wing sites, Catturd, who I've learned over the past year is one of
the most important influencers in the world, posted most obvious psy-op ever.
And you might wonder, wait, why is it the most obvious psy-op ever?
Well, it's actually not complicated to figure out because it makes the right
look bad.
And that's it.
That's the whole thing.
That's why it's a psy-op.
It doesn't look good for them, and so it probably didn't happen.
Now, look, Catturd hasn't been implicated in any of this.
Obviously, Tim Pool is gonna be a bit defensive because this guy
apparently was a fan of his or whatever, so he posts that it's obviously a psy-op.
Again, not explaining why that is, other than the fact that it's an inconvenient
reality that this person liked a lot of figures on the right,
not just Tim Pool, but a bunch of them.
Goes on to say, by the way,
almost echoing in some ways stuff that IDA was saying recently.
We need to figure out what the issue is in our society, in our culture.
I genuinely believe it's dissociation.
It's a dejected society where individuals don't know or care about each other and
they seek validation or they seek to push some extremist ideology.
And I largely agree with that.
And it's good to see that sort of message coming from Tim Pool, who has never pushed
for people to hate each other or hate other groups in America.
He's not an active participant in a multi-year war to get every single white
conservative American to believe that the mere existence of a trans person is
an existential threat to their entire way of life.
He'd never do anything like that.
None of them push racism or misogyny or xenophobia or anti-Semitism.
None of them contribute to the feelings of social isolation that
he's talking about right there.
My God, how convenient it is.
But it goes beyond just the Tim Pool's.
Literal geniuses are convinced that this is a psy-op.
So a crazy person named the Redheaded Libertarian,
who I think is involved with the Blazer, Alex Jones, it doesn't matter, whatever,
was posting that, because Ian Miles Chong, who just posts about American politics or
whatever, says that this guy is posting this right-wing stuff.
She says it's a psy-op.
Elon Musk responds, this gets weirder by the moment.
But does it?
Does it get weirder as we find out that the guy who obsessed over guns and
wanted to kill a bunch of people was a Nazi online?
Is that weird?
As we get more details.
It's worrisome.
It's concerning.
It might be depressing.
Is it weird though?
It's only weird if your goal is not to understand what happened and
stop it from happening again, but make sure that the right comes out of this
without looking any badder than it's gonna, then maybe it's weird.
How are we gonna deal with this anyway?
Of course he's not a genius.
He's a complete moron.
Before I toss to Ida for comment, I will just leave you with this thought.
If it's a psy-op, that means the FBI did it, the CIA did it, whatever.
Depending on which crazy person online, they'll say a different one.
So then you probably should ask yourself they're not going to.
But you should ask yourself why?
Why did the FBI make a multi-year fake history of Nazism online for this guy?
Why did they give him a gun?
Why did they have him shoot a bunch of people?
And they actually some of them have an answer for that.
And that answer is to take away our guns, you see.
That's what the false flag is for.
You do this shooting and then you take the guns.
However, this isn't my first day doing this show.
I've been around for, I don't know, 30, 50,
100 times that they've said that exact same thing about past mass shootings.
And so I'm left wondering, so when are they gonna take the guns then?
Because the FBI has gone to a lot of trouble to kill a lot of Americans
to justify stealing guns, and they just keep forgetting to do it in the end.
It's just a big oopsie daisy.
I guess the paperwork got misfiled or something.
They did the terrorist attack and then they forgot to actually ban the guns.
Isn't that weird, Ida?
>> Yeah, it is.
You forgot the Marshall Law step before they take the-
>> That's true,
they keep forgetting to do a martial law.
>> It's coming, and we got to get ready.
You know what I think is most concerning to me is that they had a whole thread of
tweets about their conspiracies about what is happening behind the scenes
of this shooter,
but not one to express any sympathy for the people who lost their lives.
And it's just because when you think about someone like Elon Musk,
people are cattle to him, and those are the people who show up at his place of
work and they get exploited so that he can be cool on Twitter.
I've actually been in a room with him and opted not to meet him, but
to watch the way people idolized him.
And wanting to be in his presence was embarrassing for
me because especially people of color who line themselves up with
capitalism in a way that is capitalism has benefited greatly from slavery.
Slavery was driven by capitalism cuz capitalism and
white supremacy are like twins.
And so it's just so funny to me to see people just rush and wanting to be in
the presence of someone like Elon Musk cuz it's aspirational the American dream
without even thinking about the story behind him with apartheid and
what happened in South Africa and how people acquired their money.
That being said, I'm on a tangent, I know, but it's just amazing to me how so
much was put into the conspiracies behind this stuff.
But no one ever expressed any type of compassion or care for the people who lost
their lives and the people who have to live with that wreckage.
>> Yeah, 100%.
I have not been in a room with Elon Musk.
It probably wouldn't go well.
But I will say, this is my theory.
Not a single one of his cultists would accept this.
But I have always thought I think one of the reasons that these people love people
like Elon Musk and Donald Trump is they don't want to worship truly impressive
people who work hard and accomplish great things and think outside the box.
They say that, they pretend, they create this aura that that's what it is, but
they don't want that because that's hard.
It would be hard to do that.
It would be hard to be that.
But if you could reach the top and be thoroughly mediocre,
well, then there's hope for me.
I could potentially do that.
I could not be charismatic.
I could not be funny.
I could not be clever.
So I think they secretly want that, Ida.
There's a reason that conservative ideology is as hierarchical as it is.
I've been talking about that a lot recently.
There's a reason that they want a hierarchy for everything.
They want a racial hierarchy where white people are at top.
They want a gender hierarchy where men are at the top.
Same for being CIS, same for being straight, same for being all these things.
Because the good thing about a hierarchy,
assuming that you're in the good category, is that you are already the best.
You didn't have to do anything except be born.
It is the appetite for
successful mediocrity that demands a system where you've already won.
And if that could be buttressed by the best,
biggest people also being as mediocre as you know deep down inside that you are,
well, then reality seems like understandable.
Success seems achievable.
I think that's why they love this stuff.
>> Yeah.
No, absolutely.
You're 100% correct.
I don't know if you are 100% correct, but I totally agree with your point of view.
How about that?
I'm trying to be smarter in how I expect it because I think that the people who
are out there who are willing to do the most ridiculous and egregious
things are the ones who get angry because they believe their opinion is law, and
if you disagree with them, then you are the enemy.
