I'm learning a lot, and there's people who are using that platform. It's not the majority because it's not very interesting and exciting, but I think there might be a tipping point where there's enough people that would be aware, and maybe they would collectively do something in order to bring back the power to the small man. Maybe it sounds very naive, but we don't know.
We don't know because we, you have already seen the legacy media and the legacy politicians shaking in the past few months.
They're getting nervous because people are calling them out. And those people were like hiding behind their desk, behind in their offices and not like not to holding a house for that, but like people now are calling them out. And it is not going to happen like this year or next year, but I think it's something. What advice would you give to those young folks?
I will never give advice to those people. Get off TikTok. I will never because their input is different than mine. But there's one thing I learned when people told me, did the revolution fail in Egypt? Did people, that the people, it's like, listen, the revolution is not an event. It's not like, hey, we go in, we topple the government. It's not a revolution. A revolution is a process.
It's a very long process. And maybe that process, I mean, as much as we don't like what happened in the Arab world, but the people there, the awareness that happened and the discussions that have been opened that you didn't even imagine what happened in the Middle East is happening.
And maybe the beginning of any hope of change is that people start talking, speaking out, talking about stuff they were not allowed to speak about. Like, for example, Israel. So...
Thank you for being who you are. Thank you so much. And I would love to invite you for my new special, The Islamo-Nazi Bassem.
That should be the title of your autobiography. Thank you so much.
