0:03 - Cancel Culture and Its Consequences
3:21 - The Ambiguity of Race
5:21 - The Dangers of Division
This lecture takes a profound and controversial stance on the implications of cancel culture, framing it as a precursor to more extreme forms of societal violence and suppression. The speaker articulates the idea that the methods and consequences of cancel culture serve as a trial run for much graver acts of violence, highlighting the potential for individuals to be socially "disappeared" and, ultimately, physically eliminated if such behaviors go unchecked. Through this lens, the speaker expresses urgency in addressing the issue before it escalates from mere rhetoric to tangible harm.
The discussion navigates through the concept of cancel culture as not just a societal phenomenon but as an indicative precursor of a culture that lacks dissent and open debate. The speaker contrasts culture with conformity, emphasizing that true culture thrives on disagreement and dialogue. In this view, the current climate of silence and oppression, positioned as cancel culture, resembles a cult-like mentality. This stagnation is depicted as not only detrimental to individual expression but as having a potentially murderous essence, threatening not just spirited discourse but the very fabric of society.
Moreover, the lecture expounds on the manipulation of language and the redefinition of terms, particularly focusing on how labels such as "fascist," "racist," and "white supremacist" are loaded with emotional weight and used to incite outrage and violence. The speaker shares personal anecdotes of facing threats and hostility as a result of the charged rhetoric surrounding these terms, suggesting that the emotional and sociopolitical climate has led to a breakdown of reason and the proliferation of mob mentality.
The conversation extends to explore the shifting definitions of race within societal discourse, particularly around topics like affirmative action and privilege. The speaker points out the inconsistencies in how racial identity is treated in discussions regarding systemic issues, arguing that such inconsistency serves only to further division and misunderstanding among different groups. This divisive tactic, attributed to ideological influences within academia and broader societal contexts, is positioned as a strategy to undermine unity in a multiracial society.
Furthermore, the lecture critiques the notion that racial and cultural divisions should define personal interactions, advocating for an approach where individuals engage with one another based on mutual respect and shared humanity rather than being encumbered by preconceived notions of privilege and prejudice. The call to action emphasizes the necessity for individuals to engage in truth-telling and to resist a discourse that diminishes the real and harmful existence of genuine racism through overuse and misapplication. Overall, the lecture serves as a rallying cry for the preservation of true cultural discourse, urging attendees to remain vigilant and proactive against the threats posed by cancel culture and the erosion of open dialogue.
[0:00] So, cancel culture is a dress rehearsal for mass murder.
[0:03] Now, to be very clear, cancel culture is a dress rehearsal for mass murder. They're seeing if people can be disappeared from social media, and if people accept people being disappeared from social media, then they will accept people being disappeared from the world. When communists get into power, when socialists get into power, they kill us. No kidding no fooling and our families are lucky to get away yeah yeah it's a great leap forward off a cliff.
[0:36] Cancel culture is a dress rehearsal for extermination, yeah listen they call it character assassination.
[0:46] Because it's a rehearsal right it's a rehearsal and the kind of lies that are told about me in the mainstream media, in Wikipedia and other places, are very specifically designed to get crazy people to target me in a violent manner. It's an incitement to violence, right? Because they portray me as such an evil person that's the old, would you shoot Hitler as a baby? Whatever it is, right? So, yes, it is a sociopathic dress rehearsal for extermination. And it's very, very serious stuff because we want to push back while it's still in the form of language, rather than wait until it's guys kicking in your door at three o'clock in the morning and everybody vanishing. So yeah, cancel culture is, well, first of all, it's the opposite of culture. See, culture is when you disagree. Otherwise, it's a cult. It's just the first syllable, cult, not culture, right? So culture is when we disagree, and we're allowed to disagree because that's what culture is. It's just conformity. Otherwise, it's just like ants in a row. It's nothing, right? So when you silence people you disagree with, that's the opposite of culture. That's stagnation. That's decay. And there's a murderousness to it. There's a murderousness to it.
[2:04] But there changed the definition of the words. There changed the definition of fascism. The fascism was to violently push someone back from Mount Rune, but now they're changing instead of being labeled.
[2:18] Of course, yeah, of course. So what they do is they will charge up words with such negative connotations that when they then attach those words to people, it's like that laser painting for an airstrike, right? So they want to charge up words like racism, white nationalist, white supremacist, fascist, Nazi. They charge these words. And listen, some of these words have negative connotations for good reason and all that. But they charge these words up to the point where it overwhelms the mob's capacity for reason. And it creates such a level of hatred against those words that then when they attach those words to people, it's designed to call in violence, which is what I've sort of been facing, right? I mean, I can't, it's why it's nice to come out here with you lovely people because, you know, I go out to other places and, you know, people are attacking the venues. There are bomb threats, death threats. They call 911. The police don't even show. I mean, this state of nature out there for freethinkers at the moment. So this is a nice break from the studio. Well, you can look at the change of the definition of racism.
[3:22] I mean, I'm reading now things like colleges that African-American students can't comprehend that gave bias towards.
[3:34] We got a race. Well, see, no, race is very clearly defined when it's time for affirmative action. But when whites say, well, we're a race and we have race interest, well, who knows what being white is? It's like, I don't remember that confusion when the term white privilege was, nobody said, well, you can't talk about white privilege because white is so undefined. It's like, no, white privilege, right? But yeah, when then whites say, well, you know, we're our race and we may have particular considerations, particularly when, you know, there's lots of negative views of whites being pumped out there through academia and so on. Suddenly white is this amorphous thing that you can't possibly define. You can see Jared Taylor gets hit with these kinds of things as well, right? I mean, as far as just you have to stand up and speak the truth, you know? I mean, the alternative to standing up is a disaster beyond what we can imagine. And understand too that the word racism, it's largely invented and deployed by communists in order to sow divisions between the races, right? So we have people of different races here. We're going to have a pleasant and rational conversation, and I don't care about your race and you shouldn't care about mine, it doesn't matter, right? But if people can come in and say, ah, well, you see, you have to hate me because of privilege and I have to hate you because of this and we have something, we don't have this in common and we don't have that in common. If they can sow these kinds of divisions, they can create civil war and they can say, hey, man, capitalism failed. You know, which is like, you know, it's like poisoning your wife and saying, well, I guess she just didn't work out.
[4:56] A couple of more crunches, she'd have been fine, right? So, it's, you know, a multiracial society, to me, you know, is fine, but if a multiracial society is then, has souls of hostility, hatred, and division sown in, then we're doomed. We're doomed. And it's, you know, that's why I push back against this term. There are racists out there, for sure, but it should be very sparingly applied.
[5:21] You know, this spray of everyone with racism, it devalues the word, which is an important word, because there are some people out there who are racist.
