He could have even gotten disbarred and used his legal expertise to do a different job.

Pig me goat. Like animals you never even heard of. He's got a little pig. Miss Piggy. Yeah. Rest in peace. It's just, oh no. The video was filmed 25 years ago. So I'm assuming Miss Piggy's passed away. I'm not sure what the pig lifespan is.

Yeah, because they channeled their personal grievances into a larger grand spiritual battle. And think in the way the politicians talk, like there is a conspiracy to take things from me and from you guys. If you're doing well and financially stable, that rhetoric is not going to land so well. You're going to be like, I'm doing pretty good. What the hell is this guy talking about?

America's in decline. We're under attack by the communists. What do you mean? Illegals are taking jobs. What jobs? I have a job. Most people can't see beyond their situation.

If you're somebody who just got screwed over by a landlord or an authoritative figure in your life who didn't give you the benefit of the doubt and cast you to the side, here comes a politician who's like, this is happening to you and me and everybody who's good. And it works perfectly. In a way, you feel bad for some of those people.

And on the other end, I think that there is extreme leftists as well. Yeah, I want to hear about that. But it's typically and not always caused by an over-fulfillment of court needs. So in a way that radical conservatism is about a mythologized past that needs to be revived. Oftentimes, radical leftism or liberalism, I'll say, is about a mythologized utopian future.

And a lot of people that you see are the most active in the protest movement are those who actually grew up quite wealthy, had their core needs fulfilled, have two loving parents, then go to college, hear something, and for whatever reason, shave their head or dye their hair and get a spiderweb tattooed on their head. And now they're going to jail for Palestine.

It's just hipster style. I grew up in Seattle, so I grew up with anarchists. And I know that like most of the hardcore, like throw a Molotov cocktail at the cop type of people have loving parents.

No, but the people feel like I grew up with a lot and I'm learning as I'm getting older because obviously microtraumatic media is like pictures of sad people who are oppressed. They deploy on the liberal side.

They're thinking I feel so bad about what I have that I need to go above and beyond to fight for those who don't, which is well-intentioned, but it often leads to a lot of like appropriating of other people's causes, a lot of paternalistic attitudes about minorities or who they perceive as being disempowered, a lot of weird ways that you see white people talk about black people.

Stuff like that where you're like, this is fucking weird. Have you met a black person before that's not like a part of your social group at school? Have you ever gone to a black neighborhood and made friends? It's pretty easy to do. You should try it.

Go do that for a little bit and then go to the protest after and be like, huh, these black people leading this protest don't exactly think the same things as all of my friends who are black, who are their own people and have a diversity of opinion.

don't have to work.

I don't want to make it sound like every conservative is a blue collar man who's fallen from grace because that's not true. But I know a lot of hardcore conservatives and they work real jobs like farming in the actual working class sector.

That's why it's hilarious when so much progressive leftist logic is about the working class versus the ruling class when the far majority of the agriculture and manufacturing sector is conservative because these people want to get taxed less and they don't want to see free stuff being given to the homeless and poor.

It's really hilarious. Of course you have trade unions, you know, like a Starbucks union and workers united and stuff. Those are, they're doing great work. I'm not going to discount unions or something.

I'm not an asshole, but it's just funny growing up in Seattle, then moving to the South and going back and seeing like the most rich kids from my high school are now like dedicating their life to social justice causes. And I'm like, that's crazy. You used to say the N word at house parties. Yeah. Not with the hard R, but like singing along to YG.

Oh, that's okay.

I would never do that. No, dude, I grew up in the inner city. That's just weird. I'm not wired that way.

Yeah, I mean, if I'm singing along to a song, shit, you never know. But the point I'm making is that, like, I feel like when you're in the belly of the beast, you can see things progress. Like, I definitely have more understanding of progressive radicalization or whatever than conservative. That's why I made a whole movie about Kelly because I'm trying to figure it out.
