Hello and welcome to the Wellness Connection podcast. I'm your host, Fiona Kane. Today I'm actually going to be talking about suicidal empathy or kind of compassion and what happens when we have compassion in the wrong places or it goes the wrong direction. I'm referring to actually a book that isn't out yet that I've pre-ordered by Gad Sard. It's called Suicidal Empathy, Dying to Be Kind. He's been talking about this stuff for years and he's written about it, and that book will be coming up soon. It's available for pre-order. But I'm just going to be talking about things that concern me in regards to this suicidal empathy and wrongly placed compassion because it is causing havoc in our society, health-wise, mental health-wise, community-wise, culturally wise, all everything. So it's something I'm going to talk about today. So I mentioned a little bit in the last episode, and I've talked about touched on this sort of before, that, you know, there was a time where we didn't have maybe a lot of empathy, and things, you know, everything was, you know, like I think of my child, my parents' generation, what they grew up in. They grew up in children should be seen and not heard, maybe not even seen, and shut up and go away and no, no one's going to listen to you, and we don't care that you're sick or this or that and what it. So it's like very harsh, right? Obviously, that is not ideal by any means. Uh but what's happened is over the years, and I think maybe because we haven't gone through any major wars in in the West, I'm not saying that us, yeah, I'm people who've been involved in more, but ourselves in places like Australia and the US, unless you've actually been in the army or something like that, we've been fairly untouched by war and that sort of thing. So we've had quite quite a cushy life compared to, and quite a cushy and comfortable life compared to our parents. And I think what it's done is it's allowed us to get soft, it's allowed us to forget, and I think we've forgotten, like we don't either just don't know our history or forgotten our history, and it's allowed us to come up with some really, really silly ideas. And um, you know, they say that sort of things go around and around again, they do. So we've seen this uh rise of uh of socialism and you know Marxism, and we've seen it happen before. Well, like it's what happened in Venezuela, right? Uh, but we saw it happen many years ago. I mean, Hitler's party was the socialist party initially, right? So what we do know is that socialism, like I'm not talking about some socialized medicine or some socialized, you know, like a like a what a safety net for people. We have that in Australia. I get that. So I'm not against some socialist principles within a functional capitalist society. What I'm talking about is a full-on Marxism, uh, full-on socialism, full-on communism, which is you know, over a hundred million people have died from that around the world. Haven't we figured this out? We remember uh we remember Auschwitz and we remember uh World War II and and and although even now people are starting to say none of that was true. Anyway, people are going so stupid. And that was horrific and it was terrible and it was awful. Um, but we don't remember that 100 million people have died due to socialism um and communism. Uh, we need to remember these things, we need to know these things, right? So, what I see happening is uh the new version of Marxism, so it used to be all just about rich and poor. So it was the uh basically the elites versus the poor. And you know, it's not too hard to see the situation there, and the poor people rise up and say that's you know, enough is enough, right? Fair enough. Uh although it didn't turn out very well. Uh look at the USSR, look at the, you know, look at look at Korea, North Korea, sorry, look what's going on there. These people, you know, once once everyone's equal, everyone's equally got nothing and everyone's equally starving. That's what everyone's equal means, except for the people who aren't equal, which are the people who are in charge, who they do all right for themselves, even though it's all fair and everyone's got the same thing. Yeah, everyone just starves equally. But what I'm seeing happening now, that that what Marxism has turned into is more about identity politics as opposed to kind of ritual poor, that kind of thing. So that's why we've had this resurgence of it matters so much looking at race and looking at religion and and and looking at sex or looking at um sexual identity, all those kinds of things. So all of those things have become extremely important again in this new Marxism because we must divide everything by what colour you are and what religion you are, whatever, and that's how we know whether or not to have empathy for for you or compassion for you, and that or whether or not we should have no empathy or compassion for you. So essentially uh what we've done is we've kind of divided within, well, not me, but what the world has done, what the new Marxism has done. And this is, and you think I might be talking about some abstract thing, but this is what your kids are being taught at school and in um at university because it is right through all of the universities, and these kids have all been graduating, and now they're all in your HR department, and you're they're your your kids' uh school teacher, and so this is um this has gone through everywhere. Uh so what so don't think it's just some random thing that you won't have to deal with. This is actually what's happening right now, right here in at your local church, your local school, your your workplace, wherever this has gone right through everywhere. So, what we're seeing is we're seeing this identity politics and and identity, identity Marxism. Um, essentially what they've done is they've divided everyone into oppressor or oppressed. So it can be really easy for you. Don't have to think, don't have to think for yourself, don't worry about that. No need to think for yourself. We'll think for you. And what we'll do is we'll put we'll mark everyone. It's almost like, you know, when they used to put the patches on uh on the Jews during World War II or whatever, it's almost like, well, we'll tell you who's who, and then you can know who to hate and who not to hate. So it's very clear, it's clear, it's very clear that who the oppressor and the oppressed are. So you're an oppressor if you're white, you're an oppressor if you're straight, uh, and you're an oppressor if you're what they call cisgendered, which I absolutely reject that term, but essentially it means I'm a woman and I know I'm a woman, not I don't identify as anything other than what I am. That's what cisgendered means, but I reject it because uh yeah, anyway, because I'm a woman. Don't have to call me cis or anything else like that. But you're also an oppressor if you're any of those things because you are as simple as that, you are. Uh you're an oppressor if you have you come from either a religion or a race that's been quite successful. So uh the example of that is Jewish people. Jewish people have been quite successful, they're very uh they're very smart and very good in business and they're very successful. And the only way in the minds of the Marxists, the only way that you could be successful is as, you know, if you've got something, it's because you took it from me. Simple as that, right? So you can only have stuff because you took it from somebody else, because you lied and you cheated. There's no other reason. See, so if you've got stuff, you're bad. So they look at places like Israel that are quite successful and um and doing well, and they're obviously bad. Everything about them is bad, everything they did is bad, everything they've got is bad. They must have taken it from someone. They look at somewhere like Gaza, where they've got nothing, and because they've got nothing, they assume that they're good, they're good people. And no thinking about, well, what did they do with the something that they had? What did they do with the many millions of dollars and build terror tunnel tunnels and blow themselves up and blow other people up, that sort of thing. No, no, we don't think about any of that stuff, right? Uh, and I'm not in this conversation, I'm not the point of this is not to tell people who to support or what to believe and wars and all that sort of stuff. It's just a question, just in general, uh, the the thinking of the the question, the the thinking of Marxism. Not saying, yeah, not saying that in talking about one side, I'm not necessarily sticking up for the other, blah, blah, blah. I am in some situations, but what I'm not saying that Israel's never done anything wrong, blah, blah, blah. But what I am zoning in on is the Marxist thought, the Marx Marxist thinking, which tells you not to think at all, rather than just thinking and kind of go, oh, well, Israel's done this, that's good, that's not, and you know, uh, in Gaza, this has happened, that's good, that's not. And rather than better do that, being able to do that, this is just comes down to like we absolutely know we don't have to think about it because we're told who the oppressor and who the oppressed are. So if you're a Christian, you're an oppressor. That goes without saying a Christian's the only religion that you can pick on, that you can belittle, that you can like burn the Bibles, you can do whatever you like, it's it's fine. And Christians are are to be, well, around the world they're being uh there there is atrocities happening to Christians, there is uh there are Christians being uh, you know, there is genocides happening to Christians all around the world. And we don't have to talk about that, we don't care, we're not gonna not talk about Marxism, not me, because it doesn't matter, because we're just not gonna talk about that. Now, the reason we're not gonna talk about that is the one who's doing it to them in more cases and not are people from who are Muslims. So we can't anything that they do, by the way, if you're if you're any other religion, pretty much any other religion, you're oppressed. So Muslims are just by definition in Marxism, they're just all oppressed, which means that anything they do is good. And Christians are all oppressors, so anything they do is bad, right? So it's this is I I know it sounds stupid, but this is just how this Marxism, which I think is the new religion, that's the thing. Problem when we have no, when we don't have good Christian values, we don't have to have Christianity and believe in God or whatever, but when we don't have even just basic Christian values in our society, in our society, we create, there's a there's a vacuum to be filled and it gets filled. It's been filled by Marxism, and in Australia, very much so in the U, in the US, UK, and in parts of Europe, which is to our detriment. So what happens is uh if atrocities are happening but it is Muslims doing it to other Muslims or Muslims doing it to Christians, okay, we don't talk about that. That's fine. We just don't have, don't talk about that at all. But if the person doing it to those um those Christians, or sorry, to those people happens to be Jewish or Christians, if the Christians or the Jewish people are the ones that are the aggressors, then we can talk about that till the cows come home. The same thing happens in uh particularly in the US because their identity politics is on steroids. That, you know, if if someone, you know, if if if someone who is white gets murdered by someone who is black, then media just will not talk about it. But if it's the other way around, then they cannot stop talking about it and they're erecting statues and burning things down and whatever, regardless of the situation, regardless of the of the shades of grey and all of it, there's no shades of grey. That's just simple as simple as that. So uh so all of the poor women who have been murdered and raped, etc., by uh illegal uh illegals who have crossed the border illegally and um and and um harmed these women. We can't talk about those women, we don't talk about those women, we don't name them. Uh they we just they just that just didn't happen. We just don't talk about it. Uh but what we do do is we fight for those men who have done that. So we fight that they can stay in the US or wherever it wherever it is, uh, we fight that they can stay there, we get them out of prison. A lot of these men have been in and out of prisons 14, 15, 16 times. I think the man who murdered um Irina um on the on the like subway train, whatever it was last year, that horrific murder that the picture will never, picture on Irina's face will never, I'll I don't think I'll ever forget that. Uh I think he'd been in and out of institutions or prisons or because he's clearly very mentally ill. I think it's something like 18 times. I can't remember the exact I don't have all the figures in front of me. But whenever you see the situations of these men who have murdered someone, they've been in and out of institutions, etc., or in and out of prison many, many times. And it's and it's often women, it's often women who are raising the money to get the funds to help get these men out of prison because, you know, like they they've had a bad childhood. That's why they murdered and raped women. So we've got to feel sorry for them, but we don't feel sorry for the women who've been murdered and raped. We only feel sorry for the men who did it. Same thing happens all around the world with that, same thing happens in Australia. Just Internampa Jimpa Price talks about this all the time. That um that in communities, you know, we've got some communities, uh, some Aboriginal communities where there's a lot of harm done to women and children. And this is not me saying all Aboriginal people are bad and do bad things all wrong. Absolutely not. But we've got to name what actually really does happen. And of course I know that white people do horrific things as well. So this is not not saying that at all. But what I am saying is that we do know that a lot of children and women get raped and murdered and um and very harmed very much so in some communities in Australia. And uh, we can't talk about it or do anything about it. We will run march on the streets to say Black Lives Matter to get those men to not be in prison, but we will not march on the streets for the children and the women because the pro the problem is if if the aggressor, if the person who did the bad thing is in our oppressed class, then we can they didn't they can't do wrong. So we can't complain and we can't say anything and we can't do anything because they're part of the oppressed class. They just need our sympathy and empathy and compassion, and their victim, too bad. So when it comes down with Marxism, when it comes down to kind of like deciding who you care about, you have to always care about the one who is oppressed, not the one who is the oppressor. And uh, if the one who is oppressed does bad things, well, they can't help it because, like I said, bad childhood, they've come from a war-torn country, whatever it is, they can't help it. They don't mean to, you know, we have to protect them at all costs. So what we do is we protect the men who harm women from and look there's there's issues in all cultures and all colours and all religions, whatever. I'm not just specifically targeting one for any specific reason. Just this is what's going on in the world right now. I'm talking about the things that are going on right now. So uh, you know, we're also, you know, there's there's situations in, you know, they're having these issues all over Europe. There was one man who was raped by a man and he was some sort of, I don't know, I don't know if it was Sudanese, I can't remember where he was from. And he the man, the victim, the man who was raped, said he he didn't want the guy to be deported because he wouldn't be able to self-actualize in America and become his best self. Do you really think the person who's raping and murdering and that sort of thing is self-actualizing? The level of delusion, the level of suicidal empathy, and we we like to believe, like we like to say in the West that you know all cultures are equal. That's suicidal empathy, all cultures are not equal. If your culture says that it's okay to like women aren't allowed to speak, women aren't allowed to go out on the street in whatever clothes they choose, they have to be completely covered up. Women must be genitally mutilated, you know, female genital mutilation, you know, at birth. Women are allowed to be married in forced marriages when they're nine years old. Uh any, you know, any culture that doesn't believe in that that doesn't think it's bad if people are raped or children are harmed, there's a problem with that culture. I don't care what color you are, what country you're from, what religion you are, when you're doing something like that, that is wrong and all cultures are not equal. So what we fail to understand in the Western world is we think that people are the same as us, and we think that people are going to self-actualize. And we think if that person, if we get them out of jail for the 20th time, they're gonna heal and they're gonna become better. It's not always the case. Some people have different cultures, different beliefs, and some people are just evil. And we need to understand this in our society with our suicidal empathy. We're just not seeing evil where it lies, and we're seeing evil in places where it doesn't exist or it doesn't exist anyway to the extent that we think it does. So um, other examples is, you know, like in the US, they they dress up, the women dress up in the handmaid's tails outfit to uh handmaid's tail outfits to to show how you know Trump has taken away all their rights. The only right that he has taken away, and he had he didn't take it away because the Supreme Court did it before he got back in, but the only right that they're missing out on is that not every state accepts abortion up to nine months. Uh, and essentially in the US you can go and get abortions in other states, blah, blah, blah. Now, you can argue that that's fine. You can argue about your opinion about abortion and the length of time, etc. And the thing about the US is it was created so that they could do it state by state, and that was the whole idea. So essentially that's just gone back to the states and Trump's left it alone. Other than that, he's taken no rights from women. But they really believe he has, and they go out and march, and then when they ask them what rights they've lost, the only right they can think of is they can't have abortion to nine months, depending on which state they're in, because there's many states where you can do that. But they honestly just don't like they they think that they've lost all their rights. But then they when the Iranian women are on the street, literally, literally eugenics are literally being murdered and attacked for fighting for their own rights, those American women won't stand up for them. But they won't stand up for the Iranian women who really are living in handmaid's tale, who really are living in this atrocious, terrible time. So we don't see the people who really are living that life. We don't stand up for them, we don't defend them. Um, not if the person doing it to them is, you know, is someone of one of the holy religions that can't be argued with, or the holy countries that we can't argue with. We just will not see the victims where they really are. We will not see the persecution and the women being harmed where they really are. We see it where it isn't. So you can like or dislike Trump or have arguments, political arguments about what is or isn't going in the US. That's fine. Go your hardest. But thinking that the US women have no rights and they live in hands, first of all, if you can go out on the streets and march and say all those things, you know that you're not living in a dictatorship, right? Because you survived saying it, right? Uh as opposed to the women who are getting murdered over in Iran for taking off their hijab, etc. So we don't see the victims where they really are, and then we see victimhood where it isn't. We're creating ourselves, we're into victims and we're not seeing real victims, and we're not helping real victims. Uh, the same thing, you know, the October the 7th is that either either uh what happened in Israel on October 7th, either it didn't happen, or if it did happen, well, they deserved it because you know that's freedom, that's called freedom. Freedom fighting, you know, raping women and killing babies and things. That's freedom fighting. And um, and that didn't happen to them. So we went through the whole Me Too movement. It was believable women. And you know, I at first when Me Too kind of got started, I thought, yeah, okay, good. I'm part of this because I grew up in an era where lots of awful things happened to women and it was acceptable. So yeah, I I the idea of it is good. But then it but then it's believable women, um, not if they're Jewish. No, you're not going to believe them. Uh, not if they're the one who did it to them, the one not if the person who's harmed them is in our oppressed category. We can't pick on anyone in the oppressed category. So if the person who harms you is in the oppressed category, we cannot defend you or stick up for you or feel sorry for you or do a march for you or hold a vigil for you. But if you get harmed by a white person, by a white straight guy, well then we're gonna help you. We're gonna love you. Yeah, so it's it's we cannot see the real victims anywhere. We see victims where they don't exist. We create a victimhood where it doesn't exist. Um, I honestly think that where a lot of people out on the streets who are, who are, who are, I think that a lot of people think the the civil rights, this is a civil rights time of our times, a lot of the things they're standing up for, a lot of things they're standing up for just don't exist. But they're not seeing what does exist, which is the persecution of women in Iran. You know, they're not seeing the real fights that are going on in the world. Uh, you know, it's suicidal empathy to think that it's good to support a child to uh change their sex, which you can't do. Uh we call it uh gender-affirming care. And like those words, if you say the word gender-affirming care, to me, what that sounds like, and to me what would be compassionate and empathetic is helping that child to be comfortable in their own body. Because what we do know is that usually uh when they go through puberty, that cures any of those issues. And if that doesn't cure the issue, you know, uh what we do know also is that what is it, 60 to 80 percent or something of these children who go through this thing and think that they're in the wrong body, they do so because either they've been taught that by someone or because um they've got they've been sexually abused, they've got other comorbidities, it could be that they they are on the spectrum and they get a bit obsessive about or very obsessive about certain things. It could be that um that there are many of them have been harmed in some way or abandoned in some way, uh they come from the foster system or whatever it is, right? So they're the issues that need to be dealt with. So if you told me that, you know, if gender-affirming care to me, if it was this compassionate, wonderful thing, that would be actually helping that child know that they're safe and it's okay and they can stay in the body that they're in, and their body that they're in is it's a good thing, and so they're beautiful the way they are, and it's natural the way they are, and teaching them how to be comfortable in the body that they've been that they're in. But gender-affirming care is affirming them in the opposite body that they can't ever have, no matter how much surgery or how many hormones, you're just creating a lifelong medical patient and a lifelong battle for them with the body that they were born in, and we call that gender-affirming care. And now we were screaming about female genital mutation when I was a kid, and it was I remember reading all the books about how terrible it was that that was happening in certain countries in the world and in African countries, etc. Now that's okay because of course the people who are doing that are all part of the oppressed, so that's okay doing that now. Uh, and not only that, we do it ourselves in the name of gender-affirming care. You know, you couldn't, you know, if you had told me 30 years ago or 20 years ago, even 10 years ago, this would be true. I wouldn't have believed you because it is a clown world. Uh what we do is we at the moment, if you know, when I was growing up, if a man came into your change rooms and, you know, opened up his trench coat and was doing all sorts of things or wanting you to watch him or see certain things, that was considered to be someone who was crazy and someone who was bad, and you ring the police. Now you ring the police, and uh, and if he's in a women's change room or whatever, you're the one that gets mashed out and you're the one that gets arrested because you're a bigot. Because uh, you know, essentially now any man can just say he's a woman, doesn't have to do anything to prove it, he can just say he is and go into a women's change room and he's allowed to be there and say you're the bigot if you don't want him in front of your five-year-old, or if you don't want him watching your five-year-old get changed, then you're a bigot, not him. So, in our move to um be all caring and be compassionate, what we really, really put above, instead of caring about women and children, women and children are in in their safe spaces, which would be their change rooms or their bathrooms or you know, shelters or prisons, or all the different places where women might be, where they need to be kept safe or they need to be kept separate from men. Instead of actually caring about any of those women, which I would class a lot of that as being like vulnerable women, especially in prisons, right? But that we can't put them in the category of people that are oppressed that we care about because the oppressed people are the men that call themselves women. So, what we need to do is we need to make sure that those men are accommodated, and those men need to feel, they need to be affirmed. And so the more important thing is to make sure that that man's constantly being affirmed in women's spaces because that's good for him, makes him feel better. He, because that's how that disease works. Unfortunately, the way that disease works is, and I call it a disease, it is a mental health issue. The way it works is that that you need to be affirmed. It's not just as simple as you know, you get changed and do your own thing. There are some people who do that, good on them, whatever, but this is like you need affirmation. And so they need us to see them in our spaces and acknowledge them as women and treat them as women to feel okay. And that is more important than the rights of you or your daughter. That's much more important in the in the in the Marxist ideology. So now what we're doing, again, they're on the streets doing their handmaid's tale marches and they're talking about misogyny. Misogyny is everywhere. Every time a guy opens a door or pays for dinner or says something, he's a misogynist. But if he comes into women's change rooms and threatens them and threatens their daughters and threatens to do things to them, which is what happens a lot in these situations, and we complain, we're bad. So what we're doing is we're inviting, and not saying all people who think that they're trans are misogynists, but geez, a very big percentage of them are because you've got to question a man who wants to come in and fight with women in women's spaces and fight to be in women's spaces. Why does he want to be there? They're often very aggressive, and if you don't believe me, say no to them. Then you'll find out how compassionate they are. They hate women, many of them. And um, and they're what so what we're doing is in the name of compassion, we're inviting men into our spaces. And so now in Australia, women aren't allowed to have women-only spaces. Thanks to Julia Gillard, our Prime Minister from many years ago, our our one and only female prime minister, because her, along with our current Prime Minister Albo, they removed women as a category in the Sex Discrimination Act, so we don't exist anymore. Therefore, we can't have sex-based rights. Therefore, you can't have a lesbian group that doesn't include men. You can't have a women's prison that doesn't include men, and you can't have women safe spaces that don't include men. There are women in prisons complaining that they've been raped. What happens is a man who is a rapist goes to prison, and while he's in on trial, he suddenly realizes he's a woman and he gets put into a women's prison because he thinks that that's going to be a whole lot easier than going to a men's prison. And so he gets put into the women's prison. And what do you think he does there? Well, we know what he does because women are complaining about that, but but you know, he's part of the category of oppressed because all trans people, self-identified trans people, they're all oppressed. So we accommodate him and we think he's a good guy, even though we know that he's not, and even though he's doing awful things, but we don't care about the women he harms because he's oppressed, right? So once you understand who the oppressed and who the oppressor are, you know where conveniently not to look and who conveniently not to care about, and exactly who you should care about. And that is how the ideology works, and that is our where we've got this whole misplaced compassion and misplaced caring that um unfortunately a lot of, you know, a lot of women have brought in for themselves. So a lot of women are really bringing in misogyny into their spaces and taking away our own rights, and then they're out on the street marching about Trump. It's just it's absolutely hilarious that we're doing it to ourselves, or not me personally, uh, but there's women are doing it to themselves and then they then they're out claiming victims saying that their rights are being taken away. Rights that they haven't been taken away, but then they can't see the rights that are being taken away, that they're actually giving away. Like I make it make sense. Make it make sense. Don't even get me started on Quez for Palestine. If you look at the history of Iran, and I I invite you to have a look at the history of Iran. I don't know a lot about it, but what I do understand, one thing I do know, is that essentially what they had is the the the the uh their socialists teamed up uh with the with the um the Islamists to uh take over Iran. And what do you think happened then? They just murdered all of the socialists because the socialists are just useful i idiots to get them what they want. Well, what do you think is happening now? And have a look at the media and have a look. Look, a lot of this stuff that goes on in online is bots. It's not even real people or it's it's bots and it's being paid for by who knows, you know, by whatever countries to bring, they want to bring down the West. They want to destroy the West. Now, the West has had lots of problems and it has has problems now and it's done some bad things in its past. But what we're doing now, this whole ideology and going along with all this fantasy, uh, and essentially we're inviting in different ways, whether it be different types of, uh, whether it be people with um strong versions of religions like Islamism, or whether it be a gender ideology or whatever it is. Uh, and again, I've got Muslim friends, this isn't about individual Muslim people, this is about Islamism, which is a problem. A whole bunch of people got murdered at Bundai Beach just a month ago because of Islamism. So we do have to be aware of it. Uh, it's not phobic to just acknowledge that that is a problem. We need to understand what where the where the risks are, where the problems are, and address those risks and problems. We need to strengthen our country and our and our minds, and we need to look at reality. So I implore you to rather than just believe everything you hear everywhere, you don't have to be one side or the other. You can look at both sides of politics and both sides of things and just kind of look at things for what they are and stop believing the oppressor-oppressed narratives that are being fed to you. Um, look, sometimes there's shades of grace, sometimes both sides have issues, it's not that clear, or sometimes it's very clear. And when women are wearing kefirs and veils as a fashion item and they're not seeing the women being murdered in the name of those garb, what is wrong? What is wrong with you? I just don't understand. I suppose I'll leave it at that because I've been ranting on for a while. Sorry to rant on for so long. I misguided compassion, suicidal empathy is a problem. Empathy itself is not a bad thing. Compassion is not a bad thing, but we have to stop and think about where it's where it's guided. Is it misguided? Are we sending it in the right direction? Are we sending our energies in the right direction? And the way I see it at the moment, um, based on this Marxist agenda, we are totally missing the point in a lot of places, and we're we're empathizing where and giving compassion where it doesn't need to be, and people who are, you know, uh, and it's not even it's not even wolves dressed in sheep's clothing, because it's wolves dressed in wolves' clothing, clothing. They don't even have to pretend that they're good. They just have to they just have to be part of the the group that's the oppressed, and that's all. So it's not even a sheep wolf in sheep's clothing, it's actually wolves in wolves' clothing, but because they've got the oppressor, oppressed badge on them, they're good. It's just that's mad. Uhly, I think this Marxism is it's it's like it's become a religion and it's it's an ideology that is yeah, it is like scientology or something like that. It's like it's some sort of cult. Um I think we've got to stop our cult thinking and start thinking for ourselves again. And having conversations and whether or not we have arguments or conversations, debates, that's fine. We just need to talk about stuff, right? I'm just like shooting the breeze here talking about stuff. These are conversations that need to happen. And this is just really just me talking about what I have observed. Am I right about everything? Probably not. Am I wrong about everything? Probably not. But I'm observing a whole bunch of things that are concerning me, and this is what I'm bringing to you. Anyway, I will leave it there. I like to have like this is real conversations about things that matter. This stuff matters, and if you think that this is just something that's going on in the US, or I don't need to worry about it, what's Trump got to do with Australia or blah blah blah? It's so much, it's it's at she all through our society, and um and start looking around, you'll see it there, this this ideologies, and um, and if we're all silent, if we're and we let them silence us, it's only going to get worse. Anyway, that's uh me for today. Uh, please like, subscribe, share. I'd love to have your feedback. I'm just interested in having genuine conversations. Uh, so if you want to have genuine conversation, then um have a feed have feedback with me. Let me know where I'm right or wrong or what your thoughts are. Okay, I'll talk to you again next week. Thank you so much. Bye bye.
