Everyone Loves Camp

[00:00:00] This episode is brought to you by Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

[00:00:04] In breaking news, leading scientists worldwide are conducting experiments to determine if

[00:00:09] Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

[00:00:14] However, it appears the study was inconclusive, as the scientists couldn't help but eat all the Reese's.

[00:00:20] Because when you want something sweet, you can't do better than Reese's.

[00:00:24] Find Reese's now at a store near you.

[00:00:30] Music

[00:00:41] Well, alright. Welcome back to the Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, Kevin and Chuck.

[00:00:48] Today, well, we're going to talk about concentration camps.

[00:00:54] Maybe you know them as Gulags, labor camps.

[00:00:58] You know, the good stuff.

[00:01:00] Re-education camps. There's a couple of them.

[00:01:02] What did the US call it with the Japanese?

[00:01:06] They were re-editing.

[00:01:08] Interment camps.

[00:01:10] They could go all over the place here.

[00:01:13] Re-education labor camps.

[00:01:15] You gotta wonder.

[00:01:17] Yeah, exactly.

[00:01:19] All sorts of different names for the same thing, but I mean it's all, you know.

[00:01:24] You know, because camps are fun, right?

[00:01:26] It is fun.

[00:01:28] When you were young, they trained you for an early age that, you know, you want to go to camp.

[00:01:33] Like the cool kids always go to camp where mom and dad...

[00:01:37] Activities and crafts, you know.

[00:01:39] Canoing.

[00:01:41] Yeah.

[00:01:42] That's not exactly the canoeing and stuff is not exactly where I was going with that today.

[00:01:49] But what I would say is, how do you get there?

[00:01:54] Right?

[00:01:55] How as a society do we shift in our minds, I guess, to where that's okay?

[00:02:04] You know, hey, yeah, you know, it'd be all right to round up that group because, you know, they're a little fishy.

[00:02:10] And maybe they smell bad.

[00:02:12] Maybe they don't work.

[00:02:13] It's hard, right?

[00:02:14] Maybe they eat weird food that smells bad.

[00:02:17] Lazy, right?

[00:02:18] Easy.

[00:02:19] They have a different God, you know, whatever, right?

[00:02:23] We'll put them in the camp, you know?

[00:02:25] Coniving.

[00:02:26] Yep.

[00:02:27] Maybe they just have bad political ideas.

[00:02:31] Greedy money hoarders.

[00:02:33] Yep.

[00:02:34] Yep.

[00:02:35] You've seen those.

[00:02:36] Sexual deviance.

[00:02:37] Now, yeah, I've heard they can put people right on.

[00:02:42] How cool would it be if you had trains that could take you to camp?

[00:02:46] Because there you put those two things together, getting on a train, going for a ride and going to camp.

[00:02:53] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:54] I mean, that is interesting.

[00:02:55] Here's an idea.

[00:02:56] Here's an idea.

[00:02:57] What if, just hear me out, what if you're in doing it having sex with dudes, right?

[00:03:03] Right.

[00:03:04] All right.

[00:03:05] I see it.

[00:03:06] They got all the people that were in to having sex with dudes and got them all together and

[00:03:12] put them in one spot.

[00:03:13] Dude camp?

[00:03:14] Together.

[00:03:15] You're thinking that.

[00:03:16] That would be like disco lights.

[00:03:17] It would be a fun, fun time.

[00:03:21] So they just have to put some like boas or the, you know, the big streamer or something

[00:03:25] with flair.

[00:03:26] Yeah.

[00:03:27] Flair.

[00:03:28] On the cars and they'd have a little disco light and they'd go.

[00:03:32] It sounds, yeah.

[00:03:33] I'm sure this would be fun for everybody involved.

[00:03:36] Kevin.

[00:03:37] All right.

[00:03:38] So before we dive down that rabbit hole of Kevin's entertainment and fun, you know, the

[00:03:44] joy of concentration camps, let's talk about like how do you really get people to kind

[00:03:51] of go along with that?

[00:03:53] Well, one of the things they had in Nazi, Nazi Germany was, was they were going to put

[00:04:03] the Jews back to work because there were a lot of immigrants and they were, they didn't

[00:04:10] know, you know, they didn't have things to do.

[00:04:12] They were trying to kind of figure it out.

[00:04:14] So they put the Jews back to work.

[00:04:18] They built hospitals.

[00:04:20] They set up soup kitchens, provided newspapers and vocational training.

[00:04:29] And here's the nice one.

[00:04:30] Here's the wording that you want to use.

[00:04:33] They move them to resettlements.

[00:04:37] See you thought concentration camp, but no, it's a resettlement.

[00:04:41] Okay.

[00:04:42] All right.

[00:04:43] We have a home for you.

[00:04:44] We have something good.

[00:04:45] A better place.

[00:04:47] They kind of like painted it as the whole Germany was the victim, right?

[00:04:55] Germany had been kind of, you know, shoved into a bad spot.

[00:04:59] They painted it about how at the end of World War II they were treated so unfairly and,

[00:05:06] you know, they're just trying to stick up for theirs.

[00:05:09] And I think that's like how it starts.

[00:05:13] And that's how you get people to ignore that at Auschwitz they said 1.3 million people went

[00:05:21] in and the average life expectancy in Auschwitz was six to nine weeks for a prisoner.

[00:05:28] Yeah.

[00:05:29] That's not a good, a good survival rate for those of you that are wondering.

[00:05:36] The fucked up thing about Auschwitz specifically is they had, as you were entering the camp,

[00:05:41] they had a big sign that said work will set you free.

[00:05:44] But it's really just a sick joke because you worked until you died.

[00:05:49] You know what I mean?

[00:05:50] That didn't set you free in a different kind of way.

[00:05:55] Yeah.

[00:05:56] It's not really what you think, what you think of when you first read the sign,

[00:06:00] but it was true.

[00:06:01] It was just a fucked up joke.

[00:06:03] All right.

[00:06:04] All right.

[00:06:05] It's a thing too.

[00:06:06] They would put out pictures.

[00:06:08] It was like a big propaganda thing where they had the Red Cross come in and check out one

[00:06:14] of the camps and look, these kids are happy.

[00:06:17] They're having a good time.

[00:06:18] Well dressed.

[00:06:19] Well dressed.

[00:06:21] That's kind of a contradiction to this.

[00:06:26] This is the women's camp.

[00:06:29] Yeah.

[00:06:30] It's, it's rough.

[00:06:33] It's short order to get like, it really can be a different.

[00:06:40] You could accidentally slip in a picture like, oh wait, no, that's not how it works.

[00:06:46] Not that one.

[00:06:47] All right.

[00:06:48] But no, that's the whole thing.

[00:06:50] And they were just doing these horrible atrocities and people were like, well, yeah, but those

[00:06:57] people were bothersome anyway.

[00:07:00] You know, and, and you know, well those were the gay people.

[00:07:03] Those were the, because that's they, the Nazis didn't just go after the Jews, it turns out.

[00:07:09] You know, they, they had a whole list.

[00:07:11] They had a whole list.

[00:07:13] Slavs, right?

[00:07:14] Gypsies.

[00:07:15] Yep.

[00:07:16] Gypsies.

[00:07:17] I don't know.

[00:07:19] So and then that's the thing.

[00:07:20] So North Korea, same type of thing.

[00:07:24] North Korea has camps.

[00:07:25] Now North Korea goes a whole other propaganda angle where they, they actually punish three

[00:07:32] generations of your family.

[00:07:34] Right.

[00:07:35] Now the trick here is nobody really wants to help you escape or stick up for you or

[00:07:41] do anything if they know they're going to get rounded up as well.

[00:07:46] You're right.

[00:07:47] And their kids and their grandkids.

[00:07:49] And their grandkids because you might be tough and willing to sacrifice yourself

[00:07:55] but are you willing to sacrifice your babies or grams?

[00:07:59] Right.

[00:08:00] I mean, did the grams take care of you?

[00:08:02] Right.

[00:08:03] And now you're willing to throw grams into the labor camp.

[00:08:07] Come on.

[00:08:08] That's not cool.

[00:08:09] She ain't going to make it for, you know, she's got an arthritis.

[00:08:14] Arthritis.

[00:08:15] Right.

[00:08:16] You don't need to be in the concentration camp.

[00:08:18] Right.

[00:08:19] Exactly.

[00:08:20] So, I mean, that's the whole thing.

[00:08:23] You know, now one war two finally came to an end.

[00:08:27] They like I said, we don't, you guys have seen the videos.

[00:08:31] You've seen the bulldozers.

[00:08:33] You've seen the stacks of the shoes and the things that were going on in Nazi Germany.

[00:08:38] You know, we all know about the gas chambers and if people showed up and they were pregnant

[00:08:44] or they looked lazy or they didn't, you didn't think they could do work or they

[00:08:49] were missing a limb or something like that, they were right to the gas chamber.

[00:08:53] You know, they would actually, one of the tricks that they used to kind of go with was, oh,

[00:09:01] is there anybody here not able to work?

[00:09:05] Is there anybody who has a condition needs to kind of take it easy?

[00:09:10] We're going to take, we got a separate place for you to go rest and like that.

[00:09:15] And those people would actually volunteer.

[00:09:17] Oh, I can't work.

[00:09:19] Um, yeah, I got a, and they got kind of rooted out right away.

[00:09:24] They went right to the showers.

[00:09:26] That didn't, didn't end well.

[00:09:28] Um, and, and that's the thing.

[00:09:31] They had the whole gas chamber in the horrible and sometimes things are so horrible

[00:09:36] that people can't even believe, you know, that that's going on.

[00:09:41] And you're like, well, not my country.

[00:09:43] We wouldn't do that because we're above that.

[00:09:45] We're the civilized world.

[00:09:47] Right.

[00:09:49] And, you know, you know, Nazi Germany was civilized at a certain point too.

[00:09:56] You know what I mean?

[00:09:58] It's all good until it isn't.

[00:10:00] Yeah.

[00:10:00] I mean, if you can industrialize everything, you can industrialize killing people too.

[00:10:04] Right.

[00:10:05] They had the best scientists, right?

[00:10:07] Didn't we steal them all after?

[00:10:09] Yeah.

[00:10:09] Operation paperclip.

[00:10:11] Yes.

[00:10:11] Yep.

[00:10:13] All right.

[00:10:13] So that's, that's basically the setup.

[00:10:17] Now, World War two ends.

[00:10:19] Um, now a lot of people think that America went in and kicked ass.

[00:10:24] And we kind of shut down Japan.

[00:10:26] There's no doubt about that.

[00:10:27] You can't make an argument against that.

[00:10:30] But I did hear Donald Trump actually said, oh, you know, the Germans are sorry,

[00:10:36] the Russians shut down Germany.

[00:10:38] And everyone's like, he's an idiot.

[00:10:40] He doesn't even know history and whatever.

[00:10:43] And actually, if you read a book, it turns out it really was the Russians that

[00:10:48] kind of put a stop to the German shenanigans there.

[00:10:52] Now, when a lot of the concentration camps were, were in, uh, you know, Poland

[00:10:59] and we're in these places between Russia and Germany.

[00:11:04] Um, and it was the Russians that actually invaded Berlin.

[00:11:08] They, you know, the English and the Americans, they hadn't made it to

[00:11:11] Berlin, uh, you know, they weren't going to make it there for a while.

[00:11:15] Right.

[00:11:16] So with that, I mean, you know, we all, everybody had a hand in it, but when

[00:11:23] that ended, we were about done with war as a society.

[00:11:28] We kind of decided, Hey, you know, this is about all we can handle and we're

[00:11:33] done with it and we let it go.

[00:11:36] And the way it ended up, um, Russia actually had their own camps and they

[00:11:43] had some people in camps as well.

[00:11:45] And they kept those camps running and we just were like, cool with it.

[00:11:50] Like I understand it.

[00:11:52] We were done with war and we'd already given a lot of American lives.

[00:11:57] And to say, Hey, we're going to go take on another giant, you know,

[00:12:01] army is another thing, but to ignore history and pretend that they didn't

[00:12:05] have some shadiness going on, I think is a mistake.

[00:12:10] Um, I think we like to sweep under the carpet.

[00:12:13] Now America had their own, um, issues going on at the time when it comes

[00:12:19] to camps, I don't know if you know, but there were some Japanese Americans.

[00:12:24] What happened there?

[00:12:25] Kevin?

[00:12:25] Yeah.

[00:12:26] So there was about a, about a hundred thousand of them.

[00:12:28] Um, it's not.

[00:12:30] Now a lot of, uh, a lot of the Japanese settled on the West coast, um, when

[00:12:35] they're first coming to the United States.

[00:12:37] And that was really one of the earlier, uh, one of the earlier, um,

[00:12:41] migrations of, uh, um, Asians coming to the United States was, was coming

[00:12:47] to California, a lot of Chinese in the, uh, early 1900s, um, uh, early or

[00:12:54] late 19th century.

[00:12:55] And, uh, the Japanese, uh, came, came over quite a bit.

[00:13:00] Uh, Japanese came over and, uh, they were worried.

[00:13:03] They were worried that these Japanese people were spying for Japan.

[00:13:07] You know, and it's obvious it's obvious to be, you know, they look different.

[00:13:11] You know what I mean?

[00:13:12] You can pick them out.

[00:13:14] It's not like, uh, you know, a German spy, you know, there was, um,

[00:13:20] what is it?

[00:13:20] I think it was a 60% of people in the United States were of German ancestry,

[00:13:26] but they look like all the other white people.

[00:13:28] You know what I mean?

[00:13:29] They're not obvious.

[00:13:30] You don't put that in camps.

[00:13:31] You can tell they're a little angry or when you look at their eyes.

[00:13:36] But I mean, uh, you know, one of the big things, one of the

[00:13:39] important things for these types of stuff is, is it's real easy to

[00:13:43] make an enemy when you can say, you know, that skin color is a

[00:13:48] little, it's a little yellow, isn't it?

[00:13:49] Little different.

[00:13:51] You know, your eyes are a little bit different.

[00:13:54] And there's a, I saw, um, uh, propaganda paper that they were

[00:14:01] issuing to troops, uh, during the Second World War where they're

[00:14:05] talking about the difference between, had, had a spot, the difference

[00:14:09] between Japanese and Chinese people.

[00:14:11] And it was, uh, extremely fucked up.

[00:14:14] The more I read it, the more like super racist it was, you know?

[00:14:19] Yeah.

[00:14:20] Uh, the Chinese had almond shaped eyes and, uh, uh, the Japanese

[00:14:25] had conspiratorially, you know, shaped eyes.

[00:14:30] It was like just ridiculous.

[00:14:32] I don't think it helped anybody actually tell the difference

[00:14:35] between a Japanese person and a Chinese person, but you know,

[00:14:39] it was a big deal at that point.

[00:14:41] China was our, was our ally and Japan was the enemy.

[00:14:44] Well, I mean, it's, it's funny because you think of how, I mean,

[00:14:50] I saw this a lot when I was in boot camp and in the military, they

[00:14:56] really put a lot of effort, uh, our own government, I'm sure

[00:15:01] other governments and other militaries into making it so that

[00:15:06] you see the enemy not as a person kind of thing.

[00:15:10] You really do.

[00:15:10] I mean, they come up with all the nicknames and the whatever.

[00:15:13] I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure that it naturally happens because

[00:15:19] there's a lot of shady people with some, uh, shady values,

[00:15:22] but I think they go with it and they encourage it or they

[00:15:26] instigate it and things go where you really get a disdain

[00:15:30] for the different types of people.

[00:15:33] I mean, I remember hearing stories of World War two

[00:15:36] bets, you know, telling me, Oh, well, those slanty eyes or,

[00:15:39] you know, whatever where you hear, you know, these things

[00:15:43] that it's just matter of fact to them and the people become

[00:15:47] like an object or a joke rather than, you know, than an

[00:15:52] individual and a person.

[00:15:54] And what I worry about is it was so easy for these

[00:15:58] cultures to, to put these people in, into camps and do these

[00:16:03] things or at least not dig into it, you know, to allow it to

[00:16:07] go on without, you know, really getting to, you know, Hey,

[00:16:12] what's happening here?

[00:16:13] Are we doing something that we shouldn't be?

[00:16:16] And cause you do.

[00:16:17] You see the people as less than and I so worry about the

[00:16:23] American culture now that we do a lot of these things where

[00:16:28] we devalue human life as people.

[00:16:32] Um, you know, we really don't see, you know, you're like,

[00:16:37] well, they're Democrats.

[00:16:38] I mean, you know, I could even say that, that in a way I've

[00:16:45] kind of, you know, had some of this mindset with like, I and

[00:16:49] Rand always talks about, well, if people don't have thought,

[00:16:52] did they even have value?

[00:16:54] You know, so if they can't think or make a decision, then

[00:17:00] do they have less value than somebody who, you know, thinks

[00:17:04] and comes up with ideas and has a plan and whatever?

[00:17:08] Cause if you're not making decisions, then what are you,

[00:17:11] you know, are you even existing?

[00:17:14] You know, how do you, it gets deep.

[00:17:17] You know what I'm saying?

[00:17:18] It, it just went the more thought you have, the more

[00:17:22] value we see things.

[00:17:24] I always used to give the example like people don't mind

[00:17:27] eating chicken.

[00:17:28] Cause when you look at a chicken, you don't see any real

[00:17:31] thought going on there.

[00:17:32] You know, he pecks it dirty, sees something shiny and he

[00:17:35] pecks at it.

[00:17:36] That's about the extent of its, you know, thought.

[00:17:39] Whereas a horse or a dog, you know, people have been

[00:17:42] around horses know that they're, you know, pretty smart

[00:17:45] animals and they have a lot of thought and we're like,

[00:17:47] Oh, I wouldn't eat a horse.

[00:17:49] That would be ridiculous.

[00:17:51] And I think we do that to people and, you know, in

[00:17:55] our mind, people kind of get the idea.

[00:17:57] Well, they're Democrats.

[00:17:59] So, you know, they're kind of stupid.

[00:18:00] They don't have any thought.

[00:18:01] They're just going along and following.

[00:18:04] And absolutely people are like, Oh, look at the

[00:18:07] Trump followers.

[00:18:08] They don't have any thought.

[00:18:09] They're just blindly going along and following in any

[00:18:12] dumb thing he says.

[00:18:14] They're right on board with it.

[00:18:15] You know, they go along and, you know, it turns

[00:18:18] out Trump may have actually said some dumb things.

[00:18:21] I mean, I know that's hard to believe, but

[00:18:24] it's been the thing that, you know, people

[00:18:29] get into this whole group thing.

[00:18:31] And the more that we do as a society, the less

[00:18:37] the less value I think people attribute to you,

[00:18:42] you know, as you're kind of part of the collective.

[00:18:46] Right. You know, that was always one of the

[00:18:48] things where they talked about people got worried

[00:18:50] about, you know, we were, I don't know, in the

[00:18:54] 80s and 90s, the big thing in the schools was to

[00:18:58] make us like a global community.

[00:19:00] And, you know, society as a whole mattered more

[00:19:05] than the individual.

[00:19:07] You know, you had to think, you had to think

[00:19:09] about saving the whole planet instead of taking

[00:19:12] care of your yard and your community.

[00:19:14] You know, it was, we got to think bigger

[00:19:16] than that.

[00:19:17] And, you know, it's nice to think big and have

[00:19:20] big dreams.

[00:19:21] But on the flip side, it's very, very important

[00:19:28] that you have value, you know, on your own.

[00:19:31] And I think that the more you get into that

[00:19:34] collective and obviously staring at your phone

[00:19:36] and watching videos over and over again all day

[00:19:39] long or listening to different things, if

[00:19:42] you're not exposed to new ideas and new thought,

[00:19:45] I don't know.

[00:19:47] People just, it loses value.

[00:19:50] I guess that's where I go with that.

[00:19:53] Right.

[00:19:53] I mean, I know a lot of people that can have,

[00:19:57] you know, political discussions that,

[00:20:02] you know, after about 30 seconds, though,

[00:20:05] they run out of slogans to say and they

[00:20:08] don't really know what the fuck they're

[00:20:09] talking about anymore.

[00:20:10] You know, there's, you know, there are

[00:20:13] the phrases that stick out in your head.

[00:20:14] And then, you know, you say those things

[00:20:16] over and over again.

[00:20:17] And then that's it, though.

[00:20:19] There's no further thought about it or why

[00:20:21] that slogan makes any sense or anything like that.

[00:20:24] Right.

[00:20:24] And, you know, I mean, that's probably

[00:20:26] probably part of it instead of reading a fucking

[00:20:28] book where getting our ideas from a 30 second

[00:20:30] news bite, you know, a sound clip of

[00:20:33] talking head someplace.

[00:20:35] And that's that's our, you know,

[00:20:37] that's as much a intellectual

[00:20:41] thought that we're putting in this stuff.

[00:20:43] But it is, it is one of those things, though.

[00:20:46] You know, you know, gay people are gross, right?

[00:20:52] Those people look different than me, you know,

[00:20:54] they don't even speak this, they don't even

[00:20:55] speak English.

[00:20:56] You know what I mean?

[00:20:56] Like, I read somewhere recently,

[00:21:00] they're talking about that, about how it's

[00:21:05] how people of a given race

[00:21:08] are much more compassionate towards

[00:21:10] people of the same race

[00:21:12] than they are of a different race.

[00:21:14] And the only way that changes is if you spend

[00:21:17] time with people of that other race,

[00:21:20] then you get to be like, oh, yeah, I, you know,

[00:21:22] they're really just exactly like me.

[00:21:24] They're just like, they're the same.

[00:21:26] Different, you know?

[00:21:27] Everybody just wants to take care of their

[00:21:29] family and do better and, you know,

[00:21:31] whatever. And you realize these,

[00:21:33] I mean, except for, of course, you know,

[00:21:35] like Muslim terrorists or something,

[00:21:37] those people don't even care about their

[00:21:39] family and they're just, they're just out

[00:21:41] of the world.

[00:21:42] Yeah. And I remember in boot camp,

[00:21:44] that was the war on terror was that was

[00:21:46] the thing and like you were talking

[00:21:48] about earlier in boot camp there,

[00:21:49] they had all sorts of names there.

[00:21:51] They're given about, you know,

[00:21:54] about Middle Easterners.

[00:21:55] I could come up with 10 different

[00:21:57] slurs off the top of my head because

[00:21:59] that's, you know, that's a thing

[00:22:01] at dehumanizing thing, right?

[00:22:03] It's it's unbelievable how we get.

[00:22:05] And, you know, you you see it in your

[00:22:07] heart. You're like, oh, I would never

[00:22:08] think that like me and me and black

[00:22:10] people are like this, you know?

[00:22:11] Well, yeah.

[00:22:13] But those because you know those

[00:22:15] people and you got to, you know,

[00:22:17] interact and you meet people,

[00:22:19] those people, right?

[00:22:20] You like that? I remember a friend

[00:22:22] of mine was he grew up.

[00:22:24] He was in the military.

[00:22:25] He grew up in a town that didn't

[00:22:27] have any black.

[00:22:28] He had had one during black person

[00:22:30] and he said that his dad was

[00:22:31] super racist, right?

[00:22:33] You know, he did not.

[00:22:35] Except for Bob, except for Bob

[00:22:36] that lives up the street.

[00:22:37] He's OK.

[00:22:38] Yeah, the one black guy I know

[00:22:40] he's OK. It's all the other ones,

[00:22:42] you know? And it's it's easy to do

[00:22:44] that. Oh, you know, I

[00:22:46] I know a black guy, you know what

[00:22:47] I mean? I know, you know, I'm not

[00:22:49] racist. I know one black person.

[00:22:51] It's funny. I had had a buddy at

[00:22:53] work and and he's

[00:22:56] he kind of has that

[00:22:58] typical angry black man

[00:23:00] thing just where everything's

[00:23:01] like a hostile attack.

[00:23:03] I don't know.

[00:23:03] I mean, I'm sure right now

[00:23:05] I'm mincing words and getting

[00:23:07] into all kinds of trouble.

[00:23:09] And but is the the

[00:23:11] quintessential angry white man?

[00:23:12] So right, right.

[00:23:14] I mean, it's that's what it is,

[00:23:15] right? So we were having

[00:23:18] and he would always be like, you

[00:23:19] know, I'm so sick and tired of

[00:23:21] people saying that, you know,

[00:23:22] the well, my, you know,

[00:23:24] my sister is married to a black

[00:23:26] guy, so it's OK.

[00:23:27] Or, you know, oh, well,

[00:23:29] my, you know, my cousin,

[00:23:31] he married a black girl.

[00:23:33] So there's that.

[00:23:34] But but you think that

[00:23:36] and then it's funny because we'd

[00:23:39] have discussions and he would be

[00:23:40] like, well, you know, my sister

[00:23:42] is married to a veteran.

[00:23:43] So I can tell you how VA

[00:23:45] health care should be.

[00:23:46] And right.

[00:23:47] And I'm like, whoa, whoa.

[00:23:49] Don't just

[00:23:50] you can't drop that on

[00:23:52] normalizing us because you know

[00:23:53] one person.

[00:23:54] Yeah. I'm like, nope.

[00:23:56] But that's the thing.

[00:23:57] Once you get to know people,

[00:23:59] you're like, hey, you know,

[00:24:01] we do have those same values.

[00:24:03] We do all really want the same

[00:24:05] things. Now, we may express them

[00:24:07] different. We may show love

[00:24:09] and affection for people

[00:24:11] different than, you know,

[00:24:12] then somebody from another part of

[00:24:14] the country.

[00:24:15] You know, maybe something else is

[00:24:16] a different priority for us,

[00:24:18] you know, food or, you know,

[00:24:20] whatever how we do things or,

[00:24:22] you know, maybe, maybe fitness,

[00:24:24] maybe work ethic is different.

[00:24:26] You know, the Germans had a

[00:24:27] decent work ethic.

[00:24:29] Yeah. And, you know,

[00:24:30] and they were like, oh, the

[00:24:31] Jewish people, they don't work

[00:24:33] like we work.

[00:24:34] And then, you know, it just was

[00:24:35] easy to, you know,

[00:24:38] to separate things.

[00:24:39] But that's so much how we

[00:24:42] we do in society.

[00:24:43] You know, I think no matter what,

[00:24:45] you just group people, you know,

[00:24:47] you talk about we talked about

[00:24:48] those studies a while

[00:24:50] back where, you know, all

[00:24:52] well, all the kids in the class

[00:24:53] with blue eyes there,

[00:24:55] you know, they're smarter than

[00:24:56] everybody else because

[00:24:58] that's obvious.

[00:25:00] And we just we find a way

[00:25:02] and it doesn't matter what, you

[00:25:04] know, the guy has dumb facial

[00:25:05] hair. Look, he's got a freaking

[00:25:07] beard. He's a loser.

[00:25:09] You know, that kind of thing.

[00:25:11] But it turns out

[00:25:14] we all kind of have the same values.

[00:25:16] But anyway, I don't know how we

[00:25:20] say, Guaid into such a little

[00:25:22] off topic, but division there.

[00:25:25] But that's the thing.

[00:25:26] That's how it happens.

[00:25:27] That's how as a society

[00:25:30] we can go well those people.

[00:25:32] And we were OK with that.

[00:25:35] And even if you're not OK,

[00:25:37] people end up with the I'm afraid to

[00:25:39] speak up like how many times

[00:25:41] have you been at, you know, the

[00:25:43] office water cooler kind of thing?

[00:25:46] You know, obviously there's a version

[00:25:48] wherever you work, a lot of us

[00:25:49] probably don't work in offices

[00:25:51] with the lifestyle that we live.

[00:25:53] But who knows?

[00:25:54] So you're at the office water cooler

[00:25:57] and people start, you know,

[00:25:59] maybe you're a pro Biden fan.

[00:26:02] I don't know who that person is, but

[00:26:04] right. And everybody else there.

[00:26:06] I'm a pro Biden.

[00:26:07] I think there are some people that

[00:26:08] are anti Trump, but nobody.

[00:26:09] Right.

[00:26:10] Everybody there is, you know,

[00:26:12] pro Trump and and Maga,

[00:26:14] you know, crazy red hat wearing,

[00:26:16] make it make America great again.

[00:26:19] People.

[00:26:19] And when they start saying stuff,

[00:26:22] you get quiet.

[00:26:23] You're like, oh, OK, I'm not going

[00:26:25] to, you know, I'm going to stay out

[00:26:26] of this one because one,

[00:26:28] we don't want to do battle every

[00:26:30] minute. I mean, some people do.

[00:26:31] Like I live on that.

[00:26:33] But you know, other people, they

[00:26:35] don't want to jump into that

[00:26:36] challenge. And there's even people

[00:26:38] at work that I disagree with

[00:26:40] politically who when they start

[00:26:43] going with their stuff, I'm like,

[00:26:44] well, you know, when they make a

[00:26:46] valid point, I'm like, well, that

[00:26:47] one's right. You know, I'll give

[00:26:48] you that. That's fair because I

[00:26:50] don't want to, but I don't really

[00:26:52] jump in on everything because

[00:26:54] you know how that argument is

[00:26:55] going to go? You know, you're

[00:26:56] just like, oh, you're dumb.

[00:26:58] You're dumb. Trump's an idiot.

[00:26:59] Look, look, he's orange.

[00:27:01] And you know, you're like, well,

[00:27:02] yeah, I can't really argue that,

[00:27:04] you know, and that isn't that one

[00:27:06] is a valid point.

[00:27:07] He does have some origin.

[00:27:08] That's fair.

[00:27:09] You know, that wraps around his

[00:27:11] head 100 times.

[00:27:12] Yeah, he's got like six

[00:27:13] com overs happening at the same

[00:27:15] time. I don't even know how it's

[00:27:15] possible.

[00:27:17] Again, getting side.

[00:27:19] I'm sorry.

[00:27:20] But we just use stay quiet

[00:27:22] because you're like, I can't do

[00:27:24] battle every minute or

[00:27:26] I don't want to be looked at as

[00:27:27] the outsider and hey, everybody

[00:27:29] at work is not going to like me.

[00:27:31] Well, that's how it happens,

[00:27:32] though. It's like, oh, well,

[00:27:34] there's a couple of things that

[00:27:36] we can touch on that we know

[00:27:37] that a lot of people disagree

[00:27:39] with. And then they start

[00:27:40] building on that and they start

[00:27:42] dividing us and we get very

[00:27:44] divided and separated.

[00:27:46] And then it's those people.

[00:27:48] And then look, there's no way

[00:27:49] they could make these stupid

[00:27:50] decisions unless

[00:27:52] they were less than and

[00:27:54] stupid.

[00:27:55] And we need to get rid of

[00:27:56] those people because they're just

[00:27:58] ruining society for the rest

[00:27:59] of us or they're destroying

[00:28:01] their planet.

[00:28:02] And then how much more is it

[00:28:04] when you build up the

[00:28:06] ideas that

[00:28:09] what they're doing is actually

[00:28:11] hurting the rest of us?

[00:28:13] Right? I mean, that's the big

[00:28:15] thing we have going with the whole

[00:28:16] climate change and all this.

[00:28:18] Look, those people are so messed

[00:28:20] up. You know, when people have

[00:28:22] guns, it puts

[00:28:23] everyone in society at risk

[00:28:26] because the crazy right

[00:28:28] wingers could all have

[00:28:30] guns and start shooting up places

[00:28:32] because that's what they do.

[00:28:34] And we see it over and over again

[00:28:36] in the news and you're like, well,

[00:28:38] those radicals, we should have

[00:28:39] red flag laws where you

[00:28:41] could just say, hey,

[00:28:42] you know, that person,

[00:28:45] they're the bad one.

[00:28:46] Let's get them out of society

[00:28:48] and put them away.

[00:28:49] We'll send them to get moe

[00:28:50] because, you know, they

[00:28:52] are they're depressed.

[00:28:53] They have problems

[00:28:54] in, you know, there's a lot

[00:28:56] of bad things and it escalates

[00:28:58] and people get into that group

[00:29:01] think and it just goes

[00:29:03] down the whole, you know,

[00:29:04] rabbit rabbit hole of,

[00:29:07] you know, crazy town.

[00:29:08] Now, let's talk about

[00:29:10] America. Let's talk about the

[00:29:12] Patriot Act.

[00:29:15] That kind of grouped people

[00:29:17] together and, you know,

[00:29:19] kind of it basically said

[00:29:21] we can do whatever we want

[00:29:22] with terrorists.

[00:29:23] Right. Well, the problem was

[00:29:25] and you're a patriot, you should

[00:29:26] support the Patriot Act.

[00:29:28] Right. You would have no problem.

[00:29:29] And thing is we can only

[00:29:31] take away everybody's rights

[00:29:33] if they're a terrorist.

[00:29:35] Right. But the problem is

[00:29:37] since 2001

[00:29:39] and now it's been

[00:29:41] a rather quickly sliding

[00:29:44] scale of what a terrorist is.

[00:29:47] And now somebody who

[00:29:49] supports somebody who

[00:29:51] colluded with Russia

[00:29:52] and tried to overthrow the

[00:29:54] government or somebody who

[00:29:55] questions elections,

[00:29:58] those people don't really love

[00:30:00] America. Like why would you

[00:30:01] question our system?

[00:30:03] You know, and that's

[00:30:07] that's the road, you know,

[00:30:08] you kind of go down.

[00:30:10] It gets crazy.

[00:30:13] Yeah. Yeah. And I

[00:30:15] was going through a list of

[00:30:17] of modern day concentration

[00:30:19] camps. Okay.

[00:30:21] So there are two actually

[00:30:25] happening in the United States

[00:30:27] today that they had listed

[00:30:29] on the concentration camps.

[00:30:31] One is Guantanamo Bay.

[00:30:33] Oh, wait.

[00:30:36] The other one was the

[00:30:40] yeah, there you go.

[00:30:42] Yep. That's happening

[00:30:44] today right now.

[00:30:46] I'm told there's only like 40

[00:30:47] people like Guantanamo Bay

[00:30:49] that are prisoners, but I

[00:30:50] don't know. Yeah, they're

[00:30:52] filtering them out. But I mean

[00:30:53] it basically they're there

[00:30:55] until they die. You know what

[00:30:56] I mean? It's life sentence.

[00:30:57] Not like they're going to let

[00:30:58] them go even if they

[00:30:59] even if they're picked up

[00:31:00] incorrectly for the wrong

[00:31:02] reason. It's not like they're

[00:31:03] just going to let them out now.

[00:31:04] You know, they've been

[00:31:05] torturing torturing them

[00:31:06] for 20 years.

[00:31:07] It's not like they're going

[00:31:08] to be friendly to the United

[00:31:09] States after they leave.

[00:31:11] You know, right, right.

[00:31:11] We're going to build up that

[00:31:12] good will if we teach them.

[00:31:14] Yeah, they're never getting

[00:31:15] out of there.

[00:31:17] Yeah.

[00:31:18] The other one is that

[00:31:20] they had mentioned was the.

[00:31:23] The immigration detainment

[00:31:24] camps, people being detained

[00:31:27] on visa visas

[00:31:29] or invalid visas

[00:31:31] or illegally crossing the

[00:31:32] border or

[00:31:34] illegal immigrants that had

[00:31:36] committed crimes.

[00:31:39] People waiting deportation.

[00:31:41] So

[00:31:43] I mean, they're not starving

[00:31:45] them to death and working to

[00:31:46] death that we know of,

[00:31:48] right?

[00:31:49] I don't really know what's

[00:31:50] happening in those camps, though.

[00:31:52] The German population, they

[00:31:53] didn't know what was going on

[00:31:54] a lot in those camps either.

[00:31:56] I mean, people had ideas.

[00:31:57] Rumors were coming out, but

[00:32:00] it was slow for those ideas

[00:32:02] to get out to society.

[00:32:04] And that was one of the big

[00:32:05] things that the Germans kept

[00:32:06] playing on. They were like,

[00:32:07] well, remember, they lied

[00:32:08] about all this other stuff.

[00:32:10] Right. They're lying about

[00:32:11] that too.

[00:32:12] And how much now?

[00:32:14] How much do we hear in society?

[00:32:16] Well, you know, the

[00:32:18] Republicans are just lying or

[00:32:20] the Democrats are just lying

[00:32:22] and, you know, and that's

[00:32:24] fake news, right?

[00:32:26] Fake news.

[00:32:27] Fake news. That's a big fucking

[00:32:28] catchphrase right there.

[00:32:29] Right. How much have we

[00:32:31] conditioned people that fake

[00:32:33] news is a thing and crazy

[00:32:34] conspiracy theories?

[00:32:36] That's actually why we did that

[00:32:38] conspiracy episode a couple

[00:32:39] weeks back, because it was I

[00:32:41] just kind of wanted to drive home

[00:32:43] the idea that, you know, hey,

[00:32:45] just because something sounds a

[00:32:47] little far out there doesn't

[00:32:49] mean that it's not reality

[00:32:51] or that it's not happening.

[00:32:53] And we're so quick

[00:32:55] to dismiss things with the

[00:32:57] whole fake news thing, or at

[00:32:58] least the media is.

[00:33:00] And even if

[00:33:02] like at your core, you're

[00:33:04] like, well, you know, I know

[00:33:05] that some of it's not fake

[00:33:07] news, but you have

[00:33:09] a little less trust of

[00:33:10] anything because

[00:33:12] of the way you're conditioned.

[00:33:13] I think that scale, it's always

[00:33:15] a sliding bar, you know,

[00:33:18] they talk about that overton

[00:33:19] window, you know, your your

[00:33:21] level of acceptance, you

[00:33:23] know, we used to think

[00:33:25] that we could drink water out

[00:33:26] of the sink, right?

[00:33:29] Or even the hose before

[00:33:31] that, I mean, that comes out

[00:33:32] in the backyard and

[00:33:34] now forbid it doesn't come

[00:33:36] out of a water bottle.

[00:33:37] I mean, it's just not even

[00:33:38] going to taste good.

[00:33:40] Yeah, well, I mean, now we have

[00:33:41] to worry about we got the lead

[00:33:43] out of the water.

[00:33:44] Now we have to worry about the

[00:33:45] microplastics, which it turns

[00:33:47] out if you're getting

[00:33:49] your water out of a water bottle,

[00:33:50] that's a plastic water bottle.

[00:33:52] There might be some

[00:33:53] worse than the sink.

[00:33:55] It is full of that stuff.

[00:33:56] Yeah, it is.

[00:33:57] I was reading some studies

[00:33:58] about that recently.

[00:33:59] And if you're worried about

[00:34:00] microplastics, don't get

[00:34:02] your bottle of water from the

[00:34:03] from the gas station.

[00:34:04] We need to go back to the

[00:34:05] glass.

[00:34:06] That's it.

[00:34:08] I saw some asshole was selling

[00:34:11] water and cardboard boxes.

[00:34:13] So, I mean, it's getting

[00:34:15] weird out there. But whatever,

[00:34:18] whatever. I mean, those

[00:34:18] microplastics have a correlation

[00:34:21] with shrinking people's taint.

[00:34:22] So that's weird.

[00:34:25] But it is it is looking

[00:34:27] like that's a fact.

[00:34:28] So, you know, Kevin's

[00:34:30] always just think about that.

[00:34:32] The next time you have a big

[00:34:33] sip of a water bottle.

[00:34:36] Now, one of the crazy things

[00:34:38] is everyone kind of.

[00:34:41] The yeah,

[00:34:43] one of the crazy things

[00:34:45] is that people always think,

[00:34:47] well, America, we can never do

[00:34:49] it. And then you hear the

[00:34:50] other, the more right wing

[00:34:52] conservative types talk about

[00:34:54] how how FEMA's

[00:34:57] got, you know, 800 camps.

[00:34:59] And you see these maps on

[00:35:00] the Internet, all the potential

[00:35:02] FEMA camps, you know, set up

[00:35:04] already and pre staged because

[00:35:07] they're going to come, you know,

[00:35:09] and I don't know.

[00:35:12] Everything I saw, you know, was

[00:35:14] like, well, that's that's a lie.

[00:35:15] That's not, you know, FEMA

[00:35:17] doesn't have camps and whatever.

[00:35:20] And honestly, they're not that good

[00:35:22] at setting up camps.

[00:35:23] We saw after Katrina, we saw

[00:35:25] after 9 11.

[00:35:29] I'm showing one right now

[00:35:30] in gridly, California

[00:35:33] that they did.

[00:35:34] But it was to help after a wildfire.

[00:35:36] I mean, you know, people came in

[00:35:37] and they were like, hey, look,

[00:35:39] we can set you guys up

[00:35:40] and they have a good place.

[00:35:42] And there are good things

[00:35:44] that could come out of FEMA.

[00:35:45] I just can't imagine

[00:35:47] there's ever a scenario

[00:35:49] where they're like, oh, a natural

[00:35:51] disaster happened.

[00:35:52] You should come to the FEMA camp

[00:35:54] and that's going to be better.

[00:35:56] Right. Right.

[00:35:57] But in my mind, that

[00:35:59] probably will never exist.

[00:36:01] But you're starving to death

[00:36:03] or you're dying, you know,

[00:36:05] because you drank bad water

[00:36:06] and you're dying of dehydration.

[00:36:09] I don't know.

[00:36:09] It's still questionable.

[00:36:10] It's still questionable.

[00:36:12] How would you like to be

[00:36:13] surrounded by a thousand other

[00:36:15] people who are starving

[00:36:16] and dying and yeah,

[00:36:19] it just doesn't sound good.

[00:36:20] But I mean, I think

[00:36:22] they do have a place.

[00:36:23] They actually FEMA was

[00:36:25] a spin off of the Federal

[00:36:27] Civil Civil Defense

[00:36:29] Administration came out

[00:36:30] in the 1950s or actually

[00:36:33] 1950.

[00:36:36] But it

[00:36:38] I think it had good intentions,

[00:36:40] I think.

[00:36:41] I'm not even sure on that one.

[00:36:43] It seems like our government's

[00:36:44] always looking for another angle

[00:36:46] to take control of stuff.

[00:36:48] And, you know, they

[00:36:50] took control of that whole

[00:36:51] Mountweather thing and set up

[00:36:53] for a government continuity.

[00:36:54] And they were going to,

[00:36:56] you know, make sure

[00:36:57] that the world kept going

[00:36:58] if things got bad.

[00:37:01] But I don't know.

[00:37:03] Yeah. So a side of

[00:37:05] side of the United States

[00:37:07] concentration camps

[00:37:08] that are currently going on,

[00:37:09] there's a couple other ones

[00:37:10] there that are happening

[00:37:12] right now.

[00:37:13] Oh, yeah.

[00:37:15] Well, we talked about North Korea.

[00:37:17] That's been going on since 1948.

[00:37:20] They're called penal labor camps,

[00:37:21] reeducation labor camps.

[00:37:24] They're located in central

[00:37:25] and northeastern Korea

[00:37:28] in secluded mountain valleys,

[00:37:30] completely isolated from the outside

[00:37:31] world and estimated about

[00:37:33] 80,000 to 200,000 people

[00:37:34] are in these camps.

[00:37:36] So.

[00:37:37] Oh, well, you could find yourself

[00:37:39] in a North Korean prison camp

[00:37:41] if you did something horrible

[00:37:43] like having a computer

[00:37:46] right or not having your picture

[00:37:49] in a prominent place of the dear

[00:37:50] leader.

[00:37:51] Yeah. In your home, you got to

[00:37:53] have your leader up there.

[00:37:54] Or maybe your brother

[00:37:56] didn't have a picture

[00:37:57] of the dear leader in his house.

[00:37:59] Like then, obviously, you should be

[00:38:01] said to one of these camps or your grandpa.

[00:38:03] Right.

[00:38:05] Or maybe somebody heard

[00:38:06] that your grandpa didn't

[00:38:09] respect the dear leader.

[00:38:11] Yeah, it's kind of easy to end up in those.

[00:38:13] But I mean, honestly, if you're in North

[00:38:15] Korean, you're not like the top,

[00:38:17] you know, the top five percent.

[00:38:20] You're probably starving to death

[00:38:21] either way. So I mean, good luck.

[00:38:23] I hope the the parasites

[00:38:25] aren't getting most of your calories.

[00:38:29] China, 2017 still going on

[00:38:32] today. Weegers

[00:38:35] don't don't have religion.

[00:38:37] Don't like be a religious person

[00:38:39] and live in China as those two don't

[00:38:41] don't mix. So

[00:38:43] most of the people go into

[00:38:45] those concentration camps are

[00:38:47] Muslims or at least ethnically

[00:38:50] weager and, you know,

[00:38:52] they're just sterilizing everybody,

[00:38:54] making sure you don't have any more babies.

[00:38:55] So within a generation,

[00:38:57] that population will be gone.

[00:39:00] Check one of those it takes care of itself,

[00:39:02] but go on. Yeah.

[00:39:03] Chechnya is 2017 to present

[00:39:06] still going on anti-gay detention camps.

[00:39:11] However, Chechnya says that's not

[00:39:13] happening because Chechnya does not

[00:39:15] have any gay people in the entire country.

[00:39:17] So it can't be.

[00:39:19] Self. Yep.

[00:39:20] It's not not an actual issue.

[00:39:24] And then Libya, obviously, that's

[00:39:27] Momar Gaddafi.

[00:39:30] You know, they took him out.

[00:39:31] He was a bit of an asshole.

[00:39:33] They took him out and turns out

[00:39:35] everybody else in that country is

[00:39:36] a bit of an asshole, too.

[00:39:38] And I've heard I haven't seen him,

[00:39:40] but I've heard you can go on YouTube

[00:39:41] with the right times and right places

[00:39:44] and watch slave auctions going on in Libya.

[00:39:46] So I mean, there's exciting,

[00:39:49] exciting stuff happening all over the world.

[00:39:52] It's an ugly world.

[00:39:53] I mean, it's one of those things

[00:39:55] that we talk about as stuff that,

[00:39:56] you know, evil shit that happened in the past.

[00:39:58] You know what I mean?

[00:39:59] Like things that evil people did then

[00:40:03] and, you know, good, we're not doing

[00:40:05] that shit anymore, but we're still doing that shit.

[00:40:07] People are kind of gross and they've always been gross

[00:40:09] and they're going to keep being gross.

[00:40:10] That's pretty much what it comes down to.

[00:40:13] And then I would say, what if

[00:40:16] I didn't actually need a chain link fence or some

[00:40:20] what is it, the razor wire or any of that?

[00:40:25] What if we were actually living

[00:40:28] in a giant prison camp right now?

[00:40:31] Oh, did you ever see there was a movie called The Matrix?

[00:40:36] Oh, yeah, I have seen that.

[00:40:38] Mind blown.

[00:40:40] I'm just dropping that out there.

[00:40:42] I'm just saying you guys might want to check into it.

[00:40:46] You know, it's weird is the lady who wrote

[00:40:48] the matrix actually wrote a terminator

[00:40:52] and she she kind of said that basically

[00:40:59] Neo Keanu Reeves there was supposed to be the son of Sarah Conner.

[00:41:07] Oh, OK.

[00:41:08] And so it's a little crazy world.

[00:41:11] It's it's supposed to be all tied together.

[00:41:14] I was just watching something about about that.

[00:41:17] They said that John Conner's initials were JC.

[00:41:20] And that was supposed to mean her say that.

[00:41:23] But I don't know if the whole thing is kind of a little weird.

[00:41:29] You almost even wonder what to believe anymore

[00:41:31] when you see things on TV.

[00:41:33] But I think that that kind of proves the point.

[00:41:37] Like, oh, the matrix isn't real

[00:41:38] because we're being conditioned with everything.

[00:41:41] And then you're like, wait,

[00:41:43] I'm seeing something connected in there.

[00:41:47] The little there's like a little spark

[00:41:49] on the like little Brains and abs.

[00:41:51] You see like a little like flicker and you're like, wait, is there?

[00:41:55] And then now now here have some more coffee and soda.

[00:41:59] Now maybe open a bag of chips.

[00:42:01] I think you were hungry or, you know, whatever.

[00:42:04] A coconut smile and shut the fuck up.

[00:42:06] Another thing to think about when it comes

[00:42:10] to these whole putting people in camps

[00:42:12] and and everything like that, you always

[00:42:15] it always seems that it's a small number of people in charge of many.

[00:42:22] And one of the things is you're like, well, why don't those people rise up?

[00:42:26] Well, one I think it comes down to we're very conditioned

[00:42:31] to respect authority, even though, you know, obviously

[00:42:35] you're listening to this podcast.

[00:42:37] Maybe that's not exactly your whole right, your whole philosophy.

[00:42:44] But people are unwilling, kind of like, you know,

[00:42:47] it goes back to that September 11 thing on a plane and the hijackers take it.

[00:42:52] And they're like, don't do anything.

[00:42:54] You could get somebody hurt.

[00:42:55] You could get us killed.

[00:42:57] And then, you know, and then somebody's wife called them was like, hey,

[00:43:00] you know, they're crashing these buildings into planes.

[00:43:03] You're going to get hurt regardless.

[00:43:05] You're going to die.

[00:43:06] But we were very conditioned and it wasn't the immediate thought

[00:43:10] of people to overthrow that or deal with that.

[00:43:13] So that's something to keep in mind.

[00:43:16] I know me and Kevin were talking earlier and malnutrition

[00:43:22] really takes away your motivation and your ability to react very quickly.

[00:43:29] You had some insight into the diets going on in Germany, Kevin, you were saying.

[00:43:33] I think it was Ashwitz that their diet was was

[00:43:37] 60 people will be splitting 10 gallons of water with one diced up,

[00:43:45] you know, one diced up potato would go in 10 gallons of water and it just boil

[00:43:50] until it was like a real thin, you know, like grainy water is what you're drinking.

[00:43:56] You know, and that was that was your food.

[00:43:58] That was your intake.

[00:43:59] That was your calories.

[00:44:00] And, you know, they do that with with colts.

[00:44:04] You know what I mean?

[00:44:05] They get them on a specific diet.

[00:44:07] And it makes you more susceptible.

[00:44:09] I remember reading about studies about sleep deprivation.

[00:44:15] And, you know, specifically, it was it was about Nazis.

[00:44:19] You know, they give them the amphetamines and they keep fighting for days

[00:44:24] and days they keep attacking.

[00:44:25] And they said that physically, physically after a certain amount of days

[00:44:33] without sleep, you could still function, but your brain didn't work anymore.

[00:44:37] You just did what you were told to do.

[00:44:40] And, you know, the diets and sleep deprivation, those are things

[00:44:44] that that you can actually do mind control with, you know?

[00:44:47] Yeah.

[00:44:48] If you're trying to, you know, get somebody to not think or not react

[00:44:54] and just do what they're told, you can kind of do that

[00:44:57] if you if you really are interested in fucking with people,

[00:45:00] you know, physically and and you don't really give a shit if they die.

[00:45:04] What I hear you say, what I hear between the lines is

[00:45:09] that we've destroyed the American diet and the whole food system so bad

[00:45:14] that now we're just a bunch of sheeple.

[00:45:16] Is that what you're saying?

[00:45:19] Yeah, I'd stay away from a stay away from low carb or high carb,

[00:45:24] low protein diets and you should be you should be.

[00:45:28] Blending right in with everybody.

[00:45:30] Maybe it's time you guys grow your own food and start.

[00:45:33] And I will say, so I guess the reason I brought that up about the food

[00:45:39] and the diet, you know, initially is, you know, you want to act quickly.

[00:45:44] You want to find allies and you need to stand up to bullies, you know?

[00:45:49] One, don't find yourself in a prison camp.

[00:45:52] Two, maybe we stand up for other people, you know?

[00:45:57] What's the long story?

[00:45:58] Well, first they came for the gypsies or and then the Jews and I wasn't a Jew.

[00:46:05] And then they came for the Catholics and I wasn't a Catholic.

[00:46:08] And then they came for the Christians.

[00:46:10] And then I, you know, you get the idea, right?

[00:46:13] So maybe stand up before it's too late and maybe don't be a coward.

[00:46:19] Maybe make it so that you're not dependent on the government

[00:46:25] so that you can take a stand without fear of them taking away stuff from you.

[00:46:30] That's kind of how you stay strong.

[00:46:34] Another thing is if you're looking to have an uprising,

[00:46:37] there are certain people you want to look for.

[00:46:40] You want somebody filled with piss and vinegar.

[00:46:42] You want somebody who's angry, kind of think like me and Kevin.

[00:46:46] Think, you know, somebody who's not like, if you got the guy who's like,

[00:46:51] yeah, I'm not really going to do work because I don't like to do my share.

[00:46:55] That guy, you probably don't want to let him in on your plans

[00:46:59] because he's going to be like, oh, the guard told me if I snitch on somebody,

[00:47:03] they'll give me an extra cookie after snack time.

[00:47:06] Right.

[00:47:06] And that's not the guy you want to be your buddy,

[00:47:09] the guy who's been milking the system all along.

[00:47:12] And now he wants to be in charge.

[00:47:14] That's not the guy.

[00:47:17] You don't want to cut that guy in on your plans.

[00:47:20] But the guy who just does work and does his business, that's the guy.

[00:47:24] The guy who's filled with fight, that's the guy.

[00:47:27] But you also want to react while you're still capable of acting.

[00:47:32] You know, they seem to take away more and more.

[00:47:35] And you just don't want to go until it's too late.

[00:47:38] And that's what I was kind of touching on with society today.

[00:47:42] I mean, you know, when they take away your guns and everything else,

[00:47:45] are you just in a giant prison camp?

[00:47:47] You know, at that point when you have no way to defend yourself,

[00:47:52] you want to stand up before you're too weak to do so.

[00:47:57] And like I said, you don't necessarily need to be

[00:48:01] in inside a chain link fence to be enslaved.

[00:48:06] You need to stand up when, you know,

[00:48:09] when you still have the ability to fight.

[00:48:11] And I don't mean by physically going in, you know, doing things.

[00:48:15] I mean, right now you're you have teeth by having the Second Amendment.

[00:48:20] We have teeth by being able to, you know, put things on the Internet

[00:48:24] and speak our opinions in our mind

[00:48:26] and make sure we don't just get shouted down by shenanigans, propaganda, AI.

[00:48:33] All this stuff that, you know, puts out so much other information

[00:48:37] that maybe isn't really true.

[00:48:39] Make sure you stand up for your values

[00:48:42] and you represent what you really believe

[00:48:45] and you stick up for the little guy.

[00:48:48] And that's all that's what it comes down to.

[00:48:50] I just think we need to look out for each other.

[00:48:54] We need to make sure, you know, that we're

[00:48:58] we're doing what needs to be done and stepping up.

[00:49:02] So that's what I got.

[00:49:04] I just think, you know, hey, be a man.

[00:49:07] That's really what it comes down to, you know, take care of yours.

[00:49:10] Learn to protect your family.

[00:49:12] Start to build up your supplies.

[00:49:14] Make sure you're not dependent on what they give you.

[00:49:18] Make sure that you can take a stand

[00:49:20] because you're able to stand on your own two feet.

[00:49:24] And that's really what it comes down to.

[00:49:26] So questions, concerns, email us at preppingbadass at gmail.com.

[00:49:33] Otherwise, I would say stay safe and we will talk to you guys next week.
