- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Did you see the fucking article today?
There was a thing on the CBC,
and it was talking about the word freedom,
and that the word freedom is being used many times
by far-right activists.
Freedom.
Here, I'll send it to you, Jamie,
'cause this is so fucking,
Canada is so fucking wild right now.
It's such a, like, really crazy place.
Here it is.
By the word freedom is such a useful rallying cry
for protestors, the word has become common
amongst far-right groups.
So by putting that far-right in there, far-right,
like, there's no indication whatsoever
that those truckers in Canada were far-right.
A lot of those are working-class people
that just did not like the idea
that they were being forced to do this medical procedure
in order to keep their job,
and so they label them as far-right.
Trudeau personally labeled them as racists and misogynists.
It's just, like, just so he could disparage them.
Yeah.
Just so, like, whatever they say doesn't mean anything.
Yeah.
So this is what they're doing here with the term freedom,
which is, like, one of the most basic tenets
for human rights, your liberty as a human being,
your ability to express yourself,
your ability to talk about things,
to protest, to do what you want.
That's what I mean!
Freedom is so fucking important.
That's what I mean!
Inherent in the idea of a free country is the right to protest.
Right.
They go hand-in-hand.
That's why that headline is beyond parody.
But it's actually something that's being pushed on the CBC,
which is really crazy.
Well, it's sinister.
They're setting you up for this idea that you requesting freedom,
it's like, it puts you in the category of anti-vaxxers or racists or far-right
people.
It's just these weird ways that mainstream media has fallen into labeling
people
in order to pass an agenda and pass this, to put this narrative out there.
But the fact that they're willing to do it with something that is so important,
like freedom.
Like protesting.
Yeah.
Protesting is fundamental to freedom.
So to say that using the word freedom is something that protestors use, you're
basically,
this is like China stuff.
But not just protestors.
Far-right protestors.
Far-right protestors.
Because you can have far-left protestors and that's not being talked about.
Like freedom is very fucking important.
They don't want freedom.
The fact that they're saying that there's an actual article disparaging the
concept of freedom,
it's really crazy.
It's scary as fuck.
And I never would have thought before the pandemic that that would have
happened to Canada.
I thought Canada was this like really friendly, cool place where they kind of
got it.
Like Canada was kind of better than the United States, in my opinion.
I would go up there.
I'm like, people are friendlier.
They're nicer.
It's like, I would say with Canada, I would just use this term, it's 20% less
douchebags.
Yeah.
Because that's what it's like.
But now under Trudeau, it's like, it's become this very weird thing.
Have you seen, they're trying to push for a digital ID now.
Yeah.
I mean, I have a friend, Anna Slats.
She is the founder of Redux, the website that does a lot.
She covers a lot of the gender stuff because she's just like a feminist who's
on it.
And she's Canadian and I asked her about this and that there's no way I'm going
to be able to, I would butcher her explanation, but she has a really
interesting explanation for why Canada has gone in this direction.
And I wish I was as smart as her and articulate, but she, I was like, you
should.
We'll try to paraphrase it.
What do you mean?
It was, it was essentially something about the way that Canada is found, was
founded.
So how, I wish I could remember it.
It's, I just don't know enough about Canada.
Well, they don't have a First Amendment up there, first of all.
That's, that's a giant factor.
But something too about how it's like borderline corporate.
It was, it was interesting.
I just, I don't know enough about Canada and I was reading it and I told her
she should.
What is her name?
Anna Slats.
Does she have an article about this?
I told her she should write one about it because I think it's a really
important insight that she has and she should put it out there.
Because I, I was like, how, how?
Because it seemed very liberal to me.
So how is this, what seemed like a very liberal, tolerant, open society slipped
into what seems like totalitarianism or, you know, slipping into it.
There's, they just seem like the entire culture is open to being like free,
anti-freedom, which is strange to me.
I always thought of Canada as like, hey, cool, man.
Well, they're being sold a pile of bullshit.
And the pile of bullshit is you must give up your freedom in order for others
to be equal.
You must give up your freedom in order for society to function in the proper
way.
You must give up your freedom in order for things to be equitable and inclusive
and fair.
And it's horse shit.
And it's a mind fuck.
And it's a mind fuck that you hear coming out of the WEF and Trudeau echoes it
and they say the right words and use the right phrases.
And at the end of the day, what's happening is you're going to lose your
ability to protest.
You're going to lose your ability to express yourself.
You're going to lose your ability to have your say when things start moving in
this general direction towards the centralized government being able to control
various aspects of your life.
One of the things that we found out during this protest, the trucker protest,
was they froze their fucking bank accounts.
I know, that was nuts.
That is fucking nuts.
I mean, that is some dictator, third world, banana republic bullshit.
Yeah.
And the fact that that was going on in Canada and they justified it.
And they didn't just freeze their money, the people that were protesting.
They froze the bank accounts of people that were donating money.
Yeah, yeah, that was the...
Fucking insane.
Yeah, it was really, really insane.
So that's what comes when you start using terms like, you know, freedom and
connecting it to the far right.
