Episode Date: June 3, 2020

just kidding lol pride's canceled anyway If you can go protest safely, go out and protest. It is your right, and you should take advantage of that. If you can't protest, consider donating to your local bail fund. There's a fairly comprehensive list at https://bailfunds.github.io If you can't protest and can't contribute to bail funds, there is always something you can do. Contact your local DSA, IWW, PSL, or BLM organization for a way to help. intro/// Arnie Love and the Lovettes - We Had Enough (1981) outro/// 20th Century Steel Band - Heaven And Hell Is On Earth (1975)

I'm tired of working every day All the bill collectors after my pay Everything is going up For a family man you know that's rough But you know what? We've had enough. We can't take it no more. We've had enough.

We ain't fooling around. We've had enough. It's time for us. I want to ask me about this. Get on up. Now we're officially on're on really on um yeah guys it's it's so nice to see that all of these people are out in the street celebrating the first day of pride um this is the first pride i've seen where so many people so many just different kinds of people are out there marching for

uh gay equality people are so excited uh for it to be pride finally that we're even seeing looting so it just it warms my my gay little heart to see all of these people in the street for pride yeah it's not just the white gays the ones yeah i was about to say this sounds like a as we know the the white gays who have been holding down the the gay liberation movement from day one we have every there to thank for everything this time it's finally not just them um yeah no i mean the protests are crazy i mean the rioting i was thinking like when was the last time there was this amount of people in the streets protesting and i i like when mlk was assassinated and even

then like this i mean this is purely anecdotal but it really does seem like there's way more people out there I mean I was looking at this map and the only places that don't have protests are like Idaho and Montana and the racist places not even like the racist places

because like the most racist places well there are many different kinds of racism but it's not even like the south it's like it's literally a place where there's like zero black people exactly like people who just get in the game it's like honestly fine like that's not like a dig is it no it's not a dig i don't i couldn't give it i could give less of a shit i'm just saying it's illustrative of like how widespread these protests are and i don't think that there's when was the last time you've seen something like this? And everyone wants to have some sort of definitive take on it, which is really just stupid and impossible.

Everyone wants to moralize it for whatever their own politically expedient ends are. But it's not even about that. This is just something that's inevitable and you and it's to a a degree and like it's so wide the protesting is so widespread right now that you can't really no one knows what's going to happen you don't have you know fucking clue what's going to happen i have no idea and like what's i i mean we've already seen concessions from nyPD from people in Minneapolis like the police in Minneapolis

like they're having all their contracts broken with schools, universities and other places so that's incredible but on the other hand you have Bill de Blasio like absolutely cucking himself like immensely cucking himself like on live TV being like

oh an injury to one cop is an injury to all using that kind of speech to protect it's like is fucking insane it's like what are what is the nyp doing to him it really seems like the nyp is like is like personally and like it's like it's like it's like leaving like a dead horse head in his bed it's like are are they are they bullying his perfect mixed children yeah that well they fucking doxxed his daughter his own fucking daughter got doxxed and he's still like and he hasn't said a single thing about that and he's doing all this he's doing all this like psychotic shit on twitter where he's like he feels the need to like have some sort of comment on it

but none of them are in any way evaluative he's just like oh hey headed towards uh barclays to see uh see what's happening there i'm here now okay um headed uptown he's like it's like carrie bradshaw just like gallivanting all over this city like this city this city is my date tonight and he's just like he's not saying one of those he's getting around in one of those buses that you just buy the one pass for the day. One of those open top buses that you have in San Francisco or whatever. I'm not sure if they have them in New York anymore. But the NYPD fucking hates Bill de Blasio.

It's no secret. The official one promoted account for the NYPD was calling for his death or whatever. It's insane. One of the weirdest things is that his wife was literally a black lesbian separatist who helped

coin the term intersectionality. Like, really? And that's the guy. That's the woman Bill de Blasio is married to. Why is Bill de Blasio receiving these death threats? I don't it's i'm it's too much because he has a black wife that's probably why yeah because he has a fucking black wife he also like

got like super like he got big into posturing during the presidential race he had like a very short-lived presidential campaign where it was like oh we gotta end police brutality we gotta defund ice we gotta do this we gotta do that he like he tried to well and like arguably like his kind of like i mean that yeah that is it is what like a sander style progressive can get you um sure but like arguably like you look at what every every other fucking lit and this is in no way in defensive build-up lasio he can he can uh he shouldn't go he shouldn't he should eat shit and die but like i mean to see what like biden is it's like he de blasio is just doing a really cuck thing where he's just like i am looking at the protests and they are happening and

but like biden is being like he did he said the thing which is just like such a beautiful uh an amazing demonstration of like what uh kind of centrist like uh compromised mindset will do to you where it's like it's like so absurd and it lays it so bare like literally just like in the form of like talking about like how we're going to compromise your actual body and death to the like the winds of this state where it's like oh actually instead of shooting them um if an unarmed person is rushing a cop we're going to train them to shoot them in the head or train them to shoot them in the foot instead of the head it's like that's so fucking insane like there's so many ways to, like, attack that. But, like, the funniest thing about it is that, like, cops, if, okay, say cops could only shoot people in the foot. Cops would literally, cops would literally shoot.

They would blow the foot off. Yeah, they would literally shoot 17 rounds into someone's foot. They would, like, blow someone's foot off. It's like, and they're killing people with rubber bullets. I mean. Psycho. Psycho. blow someone's foot off. It's like, they're killing people with rubber bullets. I mean, when we have police, when we have police reforms that are like,

oh, well, you know, we'll just give them tasers. We'll just give them rubber bullets. We'll just give them whatever kind of like, quote unquote, non-lethal weapons. So they,

they can't make it lethal. They will make them lethal. The cops will just fucking find a way. You could be like, um, we are only going to arm cops with uh the materials to set up some kind of like rue goldberg death machine and they would do it they would i mean they would set up a rue goldberg machine where it's like we are going to kill

unarmed black people with uh 7 000 hits to the head with a wooden ball that's triggered by 19 dominoes falling and lights a match on fire. They would do anything. There's like a rat involved that's chewing through twine. Like anything that they possibly can. There's no, there's no, like you can't negotiate with the current. As soon as I read Biden saying that, I just thought to myself, was someone who's so mentally retarded decaying you know it's breaking away his team must be super shitty to just be like like how do you even manage someone like that when

they're just going around like yeah just shoot them in the leg you really can't even manage someone like that it's literally just like okay how long can we put him out it's like it's it's not even like managing what he says it's just like time management it's like we will we can allow we can allow biden to be out there for like five minutes we need to like find a way to shut it down as soon as we possibly can the funniest thing about it is that like biden's dementia is actually really cool in some way because he is completely impossible to do the kind of like west wing-esque like rhetorical centrist uh lib like the like the obama or buddha style of speaking where all of these horrible evil uh compromises the the libs are willing to make um in the name of like consolidating their own power

where you know like needs togetherness like yeah we're like everyone agrees with biden essentially i mean like it's all like yeah we'll just have them shoot people in the foot or whatever like that's something that i think is like worth saying um but like pete would have to be like the the promise of america's tomorrow is innovating a future in which the cops will be nonviolent and not shoot you in the heart of America in your chest. But instead, the promise of tomorrow, America's promise, is the idea of having a state that will just shoot you in the foot. It's like you can't. Biden's completely and totally impossible of doing any of that because he's so retarded.

He literally just has to be like yeah we think that he should just shoot you in the foot i'm sure when he originally said it he was probably just sitting around at his breakfast table and he's like oh man there's such a problem all them cops are better just shoot him in the foot yeah okay so like he probably heard someone or like saw a movie where oh like they just like shoot someone in the foot or like they see like someone who's like acting presidential uh or whatever being like oh we should we should go with non-lethal non-lethal rounds or non-lethal practices or whatever yeah he's like oh they're just shooting them in the foot like that's the

thing that comes to mind to him because he lives in a cartoon in his mind yeah but like there is no such thing as like a non-lethal cop like literally like you can't there's no that is there's no point of cops i know there's no reform you can make that inside the city you know yeah i can't i can't wait till biden presents police academy as the real way things should be going the movie series literally he's gonna be like look i saw this really funny movie last night we need to show we need to we need to have a non-biased training for all cops where we just show them the movie police academy oh yeah series the whole series five movies totals which is crazy um they should i mean does does that series of movies i didn't keep up with police academy

after the first one but do they touch on this sort of thing because imagine if they had like a woke police academy movie no they have a they have a character that makes sound effect noises instead of oh yeah the frightened criminals touchdown on the issues of cops shooting black people oh my god have you guys seen the comparison video of the nypd running into you know the video the nypd running their cars into the crowd there was a there was a nypd cop car um like pulled up to a uh one of those barriers and there were a bunch of people on the other side and yeah they just like accelerated so cbs news yeah cbs did a thing cbs is doing this fucking horribly psycho it's just pure propaganda where they're doing this like it's like it's like you know and like one of those like um it's like like think about like the most annoying uh white girl from

your high school um who has like a really gummy smile and like uh like a blue lives matter girl like gun girl or something it's like you know when that girl gets like her senior photos done and she's just like literally just like laying in a creek like laying in like three inches of water in like uh like yeah in like a forest somewhere it's like those senior photos they will like turn them into like a uh slideshow like a 30-minute slideshow with like a soft acoustic guitar in the background like that is what cbs is doing for the cops right now where they made they made a slideshow where it's like all of these um like uh kendall jenner pepsi ad inspired photos of like cops kneeling

um to a crowd of like black women literally right before the like right cops kneeling and then immediately going into macing every single person in the face cbs is doing that but the funniest thing about it is like they're actually they're like there's such a dearth of those photos that the slideshow is like 30 seconds it's like they can't even they can't even like there there's a reason why cbs has to resort to a fucking slideshow is like 30 seconds it's like they can't even they can't even like there there's a reason why cbs has to resort to a fucking slideshow because those videos wouldn't even last you would you would immediately just see them mace people in the face they they just knelt for the picture and that was it yeah yeah and that's the the most fucked up one of the most fucked up

things about it is that like for people right now who like aren't on twitter can be a horrible place it's doing insane things to people's minds right now i mean the good the good part of like what's going on on twitter right now is that every single like major news outlet is just doing the like cbs thing where it's like actually the the the protests are peaceful and cops are kneeling and blah blah blah blah blah whatever that's what every major like network news is doing and if you're someone who's only seeing that you're not seeing these videos of like cops literally just like shooting pregnant women shooting pregnant women um all of these horrible things to like peaceful protesters just instigating the cops are instigating all the fucking violence here the cops have been the only violent force since the very fucking beginning and true they are the only they're the they're the threat to public safety there's just like

there's no two ways around it but that is that's how twitter can be can be good in this instance right where you can actually like share those videos of cops instigating violence with um people who are just like only what like getting their information to like network news the bad part of Twitter which I mean maybe this isn't really that bad right now it's just more like funny but like you remember that whole thing about the child soldiers Jacques I doubt you saw this but outside of Atlanta there were

there's what it turned out that it wasn't it was just really short cops there was just a line of but it wasn't even like, it was literally just one short guy. The rest of them were like normal height, but that threw the whole scale of the picture off

because the guy was just like so incredibly short. See, I saw that picture originally. You saw that, but like literally everyone was like, okay, yeah, child army. Everyone just fucking accepted that. Everyone fucking accepted that there was like, oh yeah, that makes sense that there's just like a line of like Atlantean,

like white suburban teens who just all have AR-15s who love the mall so much that they're there protecting it. That made more sense to people than there being a five foot one National Guard person or whatever. That's crazy.

And everyone was just like, yeah, child army. Yep. Yep. That's happening now. I believe it. There's limits. You have to be a particular height. No, you have to be ready for it.

I mean, you have to be a particular height. There's a minimum to be in the National Guard, to be in the Army, to be in the police. Or whatever. I was being 5'1 not considered a disability. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a disability, man. Go to fucking Social Security. You're probably going to get paid more. or whatever exactly how is being five foot one not considered a like disability yeah like that is a disability man you go to fucking social security you're probably gonna get paid more you probably get better benefits uh like getting social security like disability for being five

foot one which you do deserve as a short person by the way yeah yeah right yeah then then like as a national guardsman whose like main job is like aside from like getting fat women pregnant at like four dicks or whatever is like to put a boot on a black guy's throat yeah like it doesn't make sense like what are you doing with your life to the point that you are five foot one and you're the fucking national guard and you get sent to one of those protests and you're like oh like maybe i'm not fucking fit to be in this in this outfit man i't know. He literally made everyone think it was a child army. Jesus Christ. And then it came out that it was just a short guy.

And I remember being like, oh, that kind of sucks. Not that I want there to be a child army. I was just like, oh, it's just kind of. Okay. But that's the bad part of Twitter is that it makes you ready to assume the most insane explanation. And that there's like a child army. And that's not true for all of it, of course. But I'm just saying like that's kind of, I mean, if you're going to be on it, you know, be aware of that.

It's just a product of misinformation. Well, not solely. It's like it can be that. But more than anything right now, it's actually a really good source to see what's happening on the ground at these protests. Oh, I agree. And to see how, like, cops are instigating all of this. Because, yeah, if you're just watching CBS and Miss NBC or whatever, it's just this, like, disgusting bullshit where a cop is, like, it's literally the Kendall Jenner Pepsi commercial. Speaking of CBS, do you know what their lineup is for shows

like it's 99 like just sucking off policemen yeah oh yeah yeah it's just like oh i i love the boys in blue i'm i'm a patriot i salute the flag i don't talk about blm i don't talk about this that the other because it's it's yucky but like oh it's the police, man. You got to watch this shit to respect them. I don't know. I saw this Twitter page called Every Cop You Love is a Bastard, and it was just taking every different cop from a TV show, putting like a giant label crossover over it saying, this cop is a bastard.

Yeah, Olivia Benson, we have stopped standing you. Olivia Benson, we are going to behead you in the streets. No, but did you guys see, like, when it comes to another aspect of, like, how this is all being digested online, the whole thing today where people were posting, and this is, like, the bad end of like quote unquote virtue signaling I think right now people are so confused and don't want to like be like lame or something it's like like please have the ability to like

look beyond yourself and see that we're having some of the biggest like protests since I don't know ever in America like who cares if you look like you're being a lib online shut the fuck up you're so fucking annoying but um god like when it comes to like virtue signaling like the cares if you look like you're being a lib online shut the fuck up you're so fucking annoying but um god like when it comes like virtue signaling like the dumb end of that is when it actually

doesn't like connect to people people are like not able to separate like actually having virtue and like virtue signaling you know like reposting something of like a bail fund or like encouraging people to go to a protest or do whatever like that is having some semblance of virtue. That's having some semblance of virtue that's not like pure virtue signaling. And even if it is whatever, who fucking cares? Because the end product of it isn't going to be like, it would result in something good. And if it doesn't, then whatever, that'd be happening anyways. But like the thing today where people were were and this is where you can actually be

like weaponized to that seemed like a cop psyop where it's like okay everyone everyone posts something that literally has no content to it besides your own uh personal advertisement for your like virtue like post a black picture with the hashtag black lives matter like absolutely accomplishes nothing besides spamming spamming a hashtag that organizers and people who are going to protest actually do use to get vital information um post a black picture so we can just tank that fucking uh so you can get faves in that fucking mode of of communication what i think we should do is, this is me, a little galaxy brain here.

Okay, boys, I think what we should do is, um, get some pictures of like gay, uh, gay cop porn, um,

and tweet, tweet out pictures of that with like hashtag blue lives matter. Oh yeah. Hashtag not all cops. Um, hashtag pride, hashtag pride. We should spam them. Um um instead of spamming ourselves

i mean that was really that was really stupid and i think you want to know the biggest irony of that whole thing lay it on me started that shit the cop the cop started it probably the original the people who had like the original idea were two a and r uh worker like people who had the original idea were two A&R workers, people who work with the artists at Universal Studios, right? Or Universal Music Group, right? Universal Music Group can trace its lineage all the way back through to the very beginning of recorded music to ML Berliner's original, whatever, it doesn't matter. The point is that company is is founded on uh

black music black culture the blues soul yeah yeah funk all the rest you know like big labels like atlantic like those ladies that worked at atlantic were the ones who started this movement right atlantic made its money like basically just defrauding people. Stealing from black people. Stealing their culture, right? First of all. Second of all, in 2009, there was this massive fire, right? All these old recordings were originally recorded to tape, and they never got backed up.

So all these original recordings just went up in flames in 2009 in this massive fire in the back lot of Universal Studios. No backups were made or like backups were kind of in progress but kind of you know it was kind of like a lip service thing to the artists yeah and so you had thousands of artists black artists gay artists white artists you know all these people whose music and entire recorded output were you know reduced to ashes and soot right and and these people never, like, Universal never accepted responsibility up until, like, a couple years ago.

Never remunerated these artists for, you know, that loss. They never faced any accountability for that. And so now they have the fucking audacity, right? To not just, you know, completely erase all their musical heritage that they had accumulated right they're erasing the the media's coverage they're absolutely erasing yeah the coverage and and and these these black voices that are you know communicating all these injustices that are happening around them and for what so people can pat themselves on the back so they don't have to

say cbs is literally gonna set one of those those slides of cops kneeling and like hugging black people to like Sam Cooke or Marvin Gaye or something. Yeah, like what's going on or whatever. Like, are you fucking kidding me? A travesty. No, it all just completely cannibalizes itself to serve capital and the operating system. capital and the operating system. But yeah, when it comes to the corporate response to this, I mean,

that ranges from Ben and Jerry's tweeting out something that reads like a bell hook statement, to Grindr removing their ethnicity filter, which I actually, that's actually not the point. It's not going to, of course, change

any of the systems at play. it's not going to like of course change any of the like no this is not going to have it's not it's not some like revolutionary thing but like it is good because the idea that you can just like search for people by their ethnicity and not only that if you have you have to pay for it but you can like literally narrow people down to like their height and body type and all the it's sick even beyond a way shopping for a cock, even, even beyond, even beyond the thing where it's like,

Oh, like, um, racist, which it is. It's like, it's actually just like horrible that you can like, you can be,

you can be so specifically marketable and you can like search off of this. Just like literally like the information you give a doctor when you go to a physical, like you can like search off of this just like literally like the information you give a doctor when you go to a physical like you can you can search based off that criteria it's insane it's insane and like this is a major tech platform that you're like giving these demographics over to this is like they love that major for like data farming and selling it to other companies and shit like good and however whatever way we can get uh companies like grinder to stop uh stop people from willfully handing over their uh demographics i mean the dragon is so big they're gonna get it regardless anyways but still you know whatever i don't care victory what i want what i want is

grinder to uh give an option instead of to filter for people you can just filter out people not based on their race or ethnicity or height or whatever but based off their profession because like i want the ability or like their hobbies even i want the ability to be like okay i don't want to see a single gay guy who um has ever gone to see a musical uh was in theater i don't want to see a gay guy who has ever worn a scarf i don't want to see i don't want to see i don't want to see warren gays i don't want to see uh gays who live in like cobble hill or something like they should they should let you uh search on like a like a reductive basis like that um around like their hobbies and lifestyle did y'all see that brats like brats

brats you're totally right and blacks and brats does but i will finish this i will finish this exactly where i started brats was uh black barbie blacks yeah oh my god brats was latina barbie yeah it was latina it was like it was like all like dominican girls playing with brats like they they did owe it to their uh their constituency and you know where they're getting their fucking money yeah whatever whatever brats brats and and like uh ben and jerry's are like the high watermark for these like if you're going to say something, fucking say it with your chest. Fucking Bratz did. Bratz was saying more than Ben and Jerry's also.

We are going to get to the point, though, where we'll have private prison contractors be like, we support all black lives, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. According to Coretta Scott King. Yeah, literally. I mean, we will get to see private prison contractors do that shit um what else i mean it being pride it being pride now like i was out last night in um congrats you finally never been proud once yeah i came out i came out of the closet last night um it gets better ben yeah yeah it does okay also the i love thinking about all of the horrible, repentant pieces of shit,

like Media Gaze in, like, 2011, who were making It Get Better videos, which, like, yeah, I bet you fuckers... Oh, my God. I bet you fuckers feel really stupid right now. I bet you people feel really fucking dumb for saying It Gets Better. You know, I have...

The only way it does get better is that like you realize um you realize stuff about becoming an adult that doesn't even relate to being gay like one day like you realize that you can literally just like bump a car you can go you can like have sex with another man and there's gonna be zero repercussions you can take a massive cough in your ass even you will be a normal person afterwards i wish someone had fucking told me that when i was like having sex instead of being like it gets better one day you're gonna find you're gonna have a chosen family one day you'll finally find that peace spot and come for god. But even beyond having sex,

I wish someone had just told me that, yeah, you can hit someone's bumper and slightly dent it, and if no one sees you, you can just drive away and you'll be fine. Yeah. There's going to be no issues. I wish someone told me that you could do a very minor hit and run, and if no one sees you, like, you're just, you're, like, totally okay. I was a shopping cart that didn't.

You can literally just drive away and nothing will happen. I feel like I've been with you at least three times in Denver when this has happened. Yeah, the amount of times that, like, I'm responsible for, like, a dent on someone's car that is so small that they don't notice it for three months. Yeah, totally. Totally. Absolutely. But it being Pride, back to that. Last night I was out in Times Square just watching the looting, watching the protests.

And one of these fucking buildings, there's a police helicopter above my apartment right now. One of these buildings, I don't know which one. I have no clue. It had like the Pride lights on top, like a skyscraper. And I remember just like looking around at like stores that were just like glass smashed in. Everyone's running around. There's cops everywhere. And there's just like a gay eye of sauron like just looking over like a pride

gay eye of sauron looking over all of this and i realized like you know they're gonna be and this won't really be effective but like the whole language around like um gay equality and pride and like like being as one blah blah blah no hate that kind of that kind of rhetoric um people like libs pete even like like ivanka trump like megan mccain yeah they're gonna do stuff they're gonna do stuff like guys it's pride and pride season means that we don't think about how anyone is different we're all equal and normal and everyone just needs to love each other and like that they're gonna fucking do that and like every single like white gay guy above a certain or even

just any gay guy above a certain above a certain pay grade is gonna be like yas queen totally agree it's uh and that's and like even when I see shit that's like like there was this fucking faggot that was like guys guys cops are using the f word remember Stonewall was a riot it's like, like there was this fucking faggot that was like, guys, guys, cops are using the F word.

Remember Stonewall was a riot. It's like if you if you're like. Get over yourself, man. Yeah. Literally, if you are a gay guy who has seen the cops murder a poor person, every single like like murder, murder, poor people shoot women. You've seen cops just murder people. You've seen the fucking entire state have no purpose besides cops. God forbid they call you a fucking faggot.

The thing that changes you is that you hear a cop say faggot. First of all, that person doesn't even exist. Even if they do, they are absolutely completely useless. Guys, they're calling, cops are the F word. Guys, I'm downtown in a protest and cops are not standing. Luna, like, fucking kill yourself.

How long have you been, were you born yesterday that, like, you've never heard a cop call someone else? Like, any slur. Any slur. I know. You just don't already see what it is. Are you kidding me? Like, what world do you live in, man? Like, what train do you take to work? It's the same thing with that kind of, like, the blackout thing.

It's like, this is what happens. This is, like, just neoliberalism. This is what happens when people who are, like, now have oh have just grown up from this kind in this in this space like the only thing that is possible is that you just have these little fucking pieces of garbage that are in some way relate to like a struggle that you feel bad about whether it be like the live i remember like a livestrong bracelet that that red ipod that was like yeah you buy it and every every red ipod you buy cures a case of aids it's like yeah that that's all we've like that's all we've grown up in that's all we've grown up in so like that for so many people that's the only way that they can frame this it's just like

and and that's why it's like eluding is bad why don't you just buy a fucking buy a black lives matter ipod it's so. And I mean, how long until we get like black AirPods from Apple that are like Black Lives Matter? Literally. Yeah. I can't breathe. That's the world that so many people under 25, like that's the only thing they can imagine. And hopefully this,

these, these riots and these lootings and these like specifically like violent protests, hopefully that brings people out of it. And I know normies and you know people who just like fucking suck or the exact person we're talking about who are like genuinely like going out of their way to be like okay this is i know people who are like being radicalized and it's yeah yeah these these protests these riots these fucking um the looting could very well and probably absolutely will lead to a uh more equipped uh more uh violent um and more robust police state probably i mean i don't

really know it's hard to tell because there's nothing to compare this to really yeah i don't know how it's gonna work out but it is it is on like in like that angle it is a little suspect that like okay cops are inciting this violence one because like they're all fucking uh knuckle-dragging retards meatheads um but also like maybe it could be some part of like some larger strategy like i remember the the first night people were protesting in new york there were literally like a thousand cops at like Barclays Center. And like three blocks away, there was a police station that was like smashed. It's like you haven't, you had enough cops to just like absolutely be there and guard it. And you didn't.

So some of the precinct property destruction maybe seems a little tactical a little strategic you don't really know but also that's no reason to keep you from going out there and doing it because guess what if the cop what else do you have against a more militarized police state besides having more people out in the streets maybe that sounds

stupid I don't fucking know but there's definitely going to be more citizens than there is cops and cops are going to continue to kill more people i mean they just exactly just are i mean i and but i mean this is happening because that's all the fucking state is good for right now like if you just look at like and people want to separate this from covet in this really weird way where it's like no absolutely it's one of the same it's an own on the protesters to be like oh well how did you guys go from a month ago from being like don't leave your house to being like leave your house now and go protest i can see there's there's some

credence there but it's it's it sucks when like government officials are like towing that line for me to go back don't leave your house to go protest or whatever. But for people, for individuals, it's like, of course COVID was always going to end in a riot. People were saying that from the fucking beginning. And they're not unconnected. I don't know if you remember. When you're a fucking working person who, like, can't, the government's not fucking doing anything for you. You're getting $1,200.

That's fucking it. People are going to die. You can't get a fucking mask. You can't go to the hospital. They're not fucking doing anything for you you're getting 1200 that's fucking it people are going to die you can't get a fucking mask you can't go to the hospital they're not going to fucking test you all of that's happening and then the oh it's like the only thing the government is capable of doing is killing people is killing black people and i don't know if you remember moment that people start protesting there are literally cops in the street with face masks like with shields and they have all these fucking new weapons they're setting up barricades they're like they're like literally like there was like an like an apple store that it was one of these horrible god-awful neoliberal buildings where it's like made entirely out of glass you know just like the worst possible circumstance to have like you're gonna be like you smash one

of those panes it's just it becomes like an outdoor it becomes outdoors you know there's no structure beyond the glass they were literally cops helping build an entirely new building around the apples do you have to build basically a new building to encase this glass building it's like they are capable of doing all of this shit. You can put that money to good use. Not for anything besides the police state. Not for anything besides

killing civilians. So, the two things are connected. People are fucking pissed off that the government can't do anything besides kill people. It's not, it's,

maybe it's irresponsible. Maybe there's some hypocrisy there, but to pretend as if that's some searing moral indictment of every single individual protesting right now is stupid. maybe it's irresponsible maybe there's some hypocrisy there but to pretend as if that's some searing moral indictment of every single individual protesting right now is stupid direct that towards like fucking nancy pelosi and these people who are who never cared about it to begin with yeah god i mean i don't know if you remember sorry jacques but i don't know if you remember ben just to tack on to that point of yours in March like the very beginning

or like mid March when Corona first started to really like get scary for people like there were videos of like Humvees or whatever being taken by train to Los Angeles to New York to Miami to Dallas you know in anticipation probably for this kind of shit you know

yeah totally yeah I mean I can't say for sure you know but fuck i mean like it ended up happening the far right was waiting to militarize their violent tendencies long before this all this shit happened and they were just waiting for the next excuse yeah to start attacking people night, one really beautiful thing I saw last night, and, like, it was uptown, there was a footlocker that was being looted. And I, you know, okay,

the whole idea that, like, these like these are like outside antagonizers or whatever these protests are mostly black and i'm i'm in manhattan so i don't like maybe there's some demographic i don't know it's it's anecdotal and anecdotal right but most people i saw these protests were black or brown people um and people looting were mostly black men black women um but a footlocker was being looted and i was there with some friends and we were just kind of like standing and watching it because it's really it's very beautiful to see i i'd love to see it um but people were running in and there were like maybe six or seven people in the footlocker looting and, uh, like three cops came and the cops were kind of just like standing around like the fucking oaths.

They are like literally just like knuckle dragging, like a thumb Twiddlers because there were, there was a crowd of, of way too many people for them to like, for them to beat anyone. It would have been game over. Yeah. And didn't have their, their, their actual nine millimeter uh you know with live ammunition

yeah yeah and so otherwise they would they would have absolutely opened fire well i it's hard to say they definitely they wanted to right but there are a bunch of people in this footlocker and there are cops up front they're calling for backup and people start screaming to the looters in the footlocker like there's more cops on the way get out get out and a few more cops showed up and they were kind of like the people who were looting were stuck inside the footlocker essentially because the cops are by the front door none of the cops entered the footlocker and it was a weird kind of standoff because it's like okay how are these looters going to get out there's still enough cop they're not enough cops here to kind of like take control of the situation but there there's clearly going to be enough of them soon

and it was like two minutes where there's this weird thing you had no clue what was going to happen and all of a sudden a um like in in manhattan every all those retail places have basements and the exit is just like this like those little doors on the street like on the sidewalk and all of a sudden the door just uh flies open and literally 12 guys just pile out and like run down the street and the cops couldn't do anything about it they like exited through the basement and the cops were just they just stood there they couldn't do anything it was so beautiful it was like a it was like a clown car unloading or something like a hole just opens up in this street and like 12 people come out with like just holding like footlocker branded paper bags like they bagged up all of their own shit that is literally

so cool that is literally the American dream it was great it was great and like the idea of these are like a white Antifa people like no like sorry to tell you these are all just like these are just white chicks saying these are black guys they were all black guys

and good good they fucking deserve that yeah no for sure and yeah i mean and also just like i was thinking about the when people are like oh the the white antifa outside antagonist or whatever i mean i knew a lot of these people in high school i dated a folk punk musician in high school and a lot of those people are like literally way too afraid to actually go to a protest unless there's like boy like underage pussy like there's no way unless they can go like read some horrible unless they can go um do a dad kennedy's banjo cover to a 13 year old girl they're not guess what they're not unplugged unplugged the diy venue doesn't have any any electricity i know i know a lot of these people one of the

funniest things that happened to me in high school and which really just shows that like yeah like if any of these like white antifa like cottage cheese body bitches are actually gonna are actually gonna show up to a protest and most of them aren't brave enough to the few that are are the kind of person that did exactly this when i was dating a folk punk musician we went uh to a so embarrassing it was really embarrassing like a diy concert i was like 15 or 16 um in the backyard of um this autistic guy who has since been MeToo'd. But I think this music, this guy who was on the music scene in Des Moines, Iowa,

we were in the backyard of this leafy green, like old money house, brick house. And they were a bunch of folk punk bands there. Literally guys who dress like train conductors with like cutoff jean jackets and like dead kennedy patches and stuff it will never make sense why oogles want to dress like a train man yeah they look so fucking stupid um they were they were there um literally doing uh banjo covers of dead kennedy songs and everyone was just like kind of sitting around and this concert ended with one of these like

guys who absolutely went on to be an anti-vote person throwing a brick through the home i mean throwing a brick through the window and he just screamed revolt and everyone just kind of everyone just kind of like sat there like dude what the fuck like what are you supposed to go kill we're supposed to go like kill this person's parents who were having a concert in their backyard we're supposed to go in there like for letting us stay here head them or something and and that's ostensibly what these like antifa people are doing at protests no one listens to these people like they're all born losers and they're going to be losers forever and there are nationwide probably 12 of them like

it's it's stupid and it's it's just an attempt to try to kind of like undercut um what's actually happening you know, because liberals, libs who don't want to see property destroyed, who don't believe in that, that way of changing things. It's a really good way. It's a really good, really good way for them to continue some kind of like cynical identity politics and just be like,

we've been telling black women, been telling you all white guys are going to come in here and do property destruction. And it's like no like on black owned business yeah whatever like me maybe that has happened like once or twice but that you that's so specific like my brother's been like texting me all these like statistics which are like one probably one step removed from like fbi crime statistics in the way that like he's like oh like all these looters they're targeting black owned businesses in minnesota and like

yeah but like they're just targeting the business like they're just breaking the windows or taking shit sure yeah they're targeting capitalism i mean that's like all beside the point man like you don't look at that like that's not the point of the protest is not to go and steal shit like that that is people taking advantage of the chaos that that uh police you know foment yeah and and like going out and stealing shit like there's no like people like some people just can't understand that like that cause it causality and it's not to like justify it or or be like oh well maybe the the looting's good the rioting's good because it's neither good nor bad yeah yeah it's just you know what it's just like you know what that um i just remembered this that uh black box thing that people are

in denver no no shock that the black box people were posting on instagram because the black lives matter hashtag sorry that kind of like um that kind of approach to like activism and and what is just like genuine virtue signaling we're like we are going to be silent because our voices are so important that if we are quiet people are going to realize like the funniest thing about that is I remember at my high school, we had a GSA that was just, like, seeing girls and, like, black nerds who were all actually just, like, asexual. We had a GSA that was, like, led by those people. And they did this thing that was, like, all all lgm like my senior year of high school it was like all lgbtq people are going to be silent for the day and not speak because our voices are so important that if we um if we choose to be quiet people are going to realize how

important we are and therefore like um i don't know like not call us faggot or something but i remember they had this and i didn't i didn't do it because i was just like yeah this is gay um but i remember it being like remarkably like quieter and like more peaceful in school that day not to extend the setting that's happening now but it's like it's the same kind of thing where it's like oh silence is there's so much power and like us being silent it's like no like you should just you should literally just be like saying what you think um but like yeah no one cared i remember we had uh our band teacher was gay and he we had a sit of course i wasn't in bed surprise like the music teacher not the band teacher i wasn't in bed but you know like the

music teacher was like this disgusting gay guy. And he taught the class silently that day. He just wrote everything on the chalkboard. And everyone was like, this is awesome. No. Gay people should be quiet all the time. Yeah, they should. They should. Oh, my God.

I can't even imagine going to a class where the teacher is trying to sign and just write everything. But, I mean, it's crazy because there's a curfew today in New York that starts in basically an hour. And there was one last night that started at 11. But yeah, the curfew in New York right now is 8pm to 5am. It's 9pm in Denver now. But it's fucking, like, fuck you. You're going to ground me? Exactly.

But I don't know. I mean, the weird thing is, like, I was out last night past 11, and a lot of my friends were out last night past 11. They shut off city bikes, so you can't do city bike. The subway's still going. You can the subway city bank any money to use their shitty bike but they they also just like are saying like uber can't operate lyft can't operate they i saw this thing because i've been trying to listen to the police scanner where it's like they're gonna shut down all traffic in manhattan south of 96th street so god i'd love to see that

insane yeah i i would also i'd love to see them fucking try yeah yeah um they're gonna have to bring in the national guard yeah denver has their lifts and their ubers shutting off at curfew and they're telling cops are pulling them over and telling them to go home and drive the other day people depend on ubers to get home people have jobs that are longer than the curfew yeah you know be fucking stupid insane to think that you could just say that you say that but it's better like that is a better response and a better use of like uber lyft and other like ride share apps yeah then what they did in chicago which is like they offer like a five

dollar off like code and you you know what you can do with those codes is it's basically just like a way to track shit yeah like yeah where people are going so you can tell like oh if if all these protesters from downtown like from the from the l go to like a certain neighborhood like that's where you know where to target next and like where to you know expect more more looting and violence yeah or to cede more looting and violence it does also doesn't surprise me if that the cops are working hand in hand with ubers with uber and lyft yeah well i in a few days ago i was riding back from westminster colorado to denver and i happened to have this firefighter driver he was a firefighter at a local Denver precinct, whatever.

And he's just going on this huge, just like, oh, anti-fat is going to get beaten the shit out of like they deserve. And just being like, firefighters in Denver fully support the cops. And we will do anything to make sure they stay down. This guy was talking about hosing people and how the fire department was itching to hose people in denver and i was just like wow and he was also the beginning of the conversation he was obviously trying to get he was like so what'd you hear about the protest what uh is there what's going on with the protest tonight where is everyone meeting and stuff uh-huh so like one we can we can wrap it up here um but like one thing i like i didn't want to um highlight i guess in like minneapolis you've seen um what

organizing can do in the aftermath of stuff like this where they're using empty hotels like organizers their community members are using empty hotels to house homeless people um you know they're organizing to like defend george floyd's um like like great memorial from like white white supremacists you know they're cleaning up they're doing stuff that like ostensibly this city should be doing um that like the people that just isn't happening and i'm just saying we should have like out and out anarchy or whatever like of course not but yeah um it's entirely possible that people are organizing in the aftermath of this to uh serve the needs that none of the cities uh not like no municipality is capable of doing i mean they're like having volunteer shifts to like pass out

food to people who need it. They're doing like food banks. It's great to see that. And hopefully that can be replicated in many places and some kind of larger, like unforeseen organizational theories and structures and strategies can come out of this. Um, so we'll, we'll, we'll see what happens. I mean, um, donate to bail funds, protest if you, if you can, aren't like, you know, compromised and aren't going to put anyone at risk, but I think we can, we can leave it there. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Um, I just wanted to add really quick that, uh, Absolutely. Yeah.

I just wanted to add really quick that it's been really like heartening seeing a lot of people, you know, whom I didn't assume would be like this, like defend the protest, defend, you know, George Floyd, you know, just go completely against the grain of what I assume them to believe. That's not something that I that i've seen ever like even with uh you know the ferguson uh you know you know the riots there or even like uh uh the arrest in washington dc after uh trump got you know elected and inaugurated all of that like it's been like a mostly a total about face from a lot of people. Yeah. Um, and from those who, whom you haven't seen that, uh,

that change in, right. Or, or, or someone has, has changed to the opposite, you know, in the opposite direction.

Um, you know, I, I would just, you know, ask any of our listeners to just please keep going at it. Like evangelize, like do whatever you need.

Like this is a PR. It doesn't make you a lib to like need to have a definitive um contrarian take about everything exactly yeah you can agree with people like you'll find that you you agree i mean not like a lot i mean a lot of people probably like don't even like have maybe like 100 aligning things with. That doesn't make it incrementalism or something. Just because they're eco-fascist or whatever doesn't mean that you can't fucking reach them. All right, yeah, that's it.

Everyone, we need to kill everyone to save the bunnies, and that's what these protests are about. Keep it up. We're going to have a bunny planet soon. Mwah! Things keep moving, angels singing, times forsaken I've been saying Everyone's got to make a living Having a night

Days on earth Thank you. Everyone's got to make a living Loving my life Things keep moving, Sunday morning Who's been watching? The devil is coming Everyone's got to make a living Loving my life Everyone's got to make a living Cover my eyes It's my good People are praying, low for sign The birds are singing
