Titantic Submersible - Turned Class Warfare.

that, uh, on Africa. No one talks about like a conflict that involved the Democratic Republic of Congo and 6 other nations surrounding it and the massive human toll and tragedy that was taking place there. Millions of Americans don't know that that happened, and we, our government, and some other Western powers helped contribute to that. Libya— yes, whatever you want to say about Muammar Gaddafi, okay, he was running his country But look at it now. Open slave trade, open-air slave trade, right out there in the open. And it's understandable why people want to run away.

We need to focus on the slave trade that happened 200 years ago.

Oh, okay.

What's happening now is not that— that's for people 200 years from now to reckon with, right?

Yeah, exactly right. You have to fight the last battle.

Right, that's it.

Right, can't focus on the current one. Okay, I'm sorry.

We have to crack down on those 18th century British slave traders.

I'm anti-war in general. I'm against the wars that already happened. I'm not against the wars happening now, right? I'm against slavery back then. I'm not against slavery.

I'm retroactively against all current wars, right?

Exactly. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Um, but thanks for that, Kit. Yeah, because this— I mean, you know, and the, the irony is As much as this has been kept out of mainstream knowledge, this was buried this week by the marquee death at sea, horror at sea story, which I guess I faked you guys out over. In other news, a 22-foot OceanGate submarine carrying 5 people, including 2 billionaire businessmen, or I'm sorry, carrying 3 people plus 2 billionaire businessmen, went missing on Sunday, having lost contact with the US Coast guard less than 2 hours into its 13,000-foot dive to the ruins of the Titanic. So just to— I mean, what do I say about rich people all the time, about these billionaires all the time? And Russell paraphrased this back to me: these are not people who are necessarily all there. These are high-risk, reckless, you know, shoot-from-the-hip lunatics. In my experience with rich people as a tour guide in New York City, they are very impulsive. They're crazy. They don't think about the consequences of what they're doing.

You jump in this—

yeah, just narcissistic, no real respect for the world around you. You jump in this pod controlled by a PlayStation controller and you plunge the depths of the ocean. Let's have some humility in the face of nature here, folks. Let's take a look at some of the creatures from the depths of the ocean when you go 13,000 feet. Yeah, this Oh, this is an anglerfish. You find this at the depths of the ocean.

It should be like the pro-life people. They should show you those pictures before you get in the sub to try to deter you. Do you realize what it looks like down there?

This— what the fuck is this thing? This looks like Nancy Pelosi's maxi pad.

Ah, welcome back to the channel, guys. Um, I hope you guys are having a great day as we get ready to go into the weekend. Been quite the week. Um, uh, to add some context to the opening video, it comes from a channel called Do Dissidents, right? Um, and the reason I picked this video, because this— that clip to me seemed to symbolize, uh, everything or a consortium of thoughts, feelings, perceptions, etc., emotions of what happened with the Titanic submersible disaster, right? The tragedy. Um, and so what I did think, what I couldn't see coming, what I— it never dawned on me was that this is going to turn into— this event, this event was going to become a centerpiece for a much, uh, another argument, arguments concerning class warfare. And I believe the tragedy, uh, by the people out there in that world, by the people, uh, you know, uh, out there on social media, etc., maybe by the population as a whole, has, uh These are many of their thoughts and emotions, and I haven't seen this to this degree, uh, in a long time, right? And what that lets me know is that the conditions, the, the economic conditions are getting worse to the point, and, and people's viewpoint, sensitivity, compassion even is changing with that paradigm, right? And so we can tell when these things start to happen because people start to get less compassionate about other people. We can take events like what happened in Nazi Germany, right? As those economic conditions increased from World War I, right, onto the German people, not only did they get desensitized to other people, but they want to blame somebody else. And so they start to make things their scapegoats, right? And, um, you know, I think it's unfortunate that this particular event, uh, is one that I think kind of got brought into that. Uh, what I am sure about is that if it wouldn't have been this event, it would be some other event, because what's happening is People, you know, this has been something that's been ready to erupt a long time, and I think it's going to get a lot worse than this. Um, you know, of course, when I champion ideas like universal basic income, the citizen's dividend, right, a lot of, you know, a lot of people think it's about the, the, the, the money and economics, and that's part of it, but it's also just about the social dynamics of society caring about you, right? It maybe isn't a lot of money, but you do understand that society is taking it through an approach as no man left behind. All right. Um, and so I think that's very important psychologically to the people out there. Um, now unfortunately, when you become a billionaire, you become multi-millionaires, you enter another socioeconomic class, right, the system can begin to brand you as a person who has become desensitized to the plight of others, to homeless people, poor people, right, to the point where they start to believe things like spending $250,000 to dive 13,000 feet with no benefit to anybody but the thrill-seeking of the individuals, they start to look at that in a grotesque manner. Now, my personal view on it is that people should be able to spend their money any way they like. I think people erroneously state that universal basic income is some form of socialism or communism, and these are people who haven't done the research, right? I look at universal basic income or the citizen's dividend as more as capitalism that doesn't start at zero. And in some cases, it's necessary for it to exist because of the holes in certain economic structures that allow exploitation of whether it be the tax code or workers, right? You know, meaning people are able to cheat and people suffer because of that. So it's not that you want to take from somebody else, and that's not what universal basic income does or doesn't have to do unless it's misused or misshapen into what I believe to be something else. But what it is, is it allows it to be done in a way where it just kind of in a justice situation. Makes it more fair for everybody, right? Does it make, you know, does it take from people who work harder than others, right? Uh, that, and I think for the most part, most people don't look at it that way, right? I don't think anybody, uh, most people want to just come up and take the work of other people, uh, not the average citizen out there. Now, the argument is in a reverse. They're saying that the wealthy people, the billionaires, are the people who are taking the labor of other people and exploiting these workers as such, right? So because of this suffering of these other people, uh, when they see, uh, situations
