1:39
house that's got the living room upstairs which
1:41

bureaucrats second your visa or and factors.
2:37
Which. You know it's not unlikely. Well, if
2:39
I hang on until the name and nothing
2:41
until November and it's trump a bureaucrat said
2:43

2:53
I can do Florida at it as a more
2:56
sorry to. Miss Florida.
2:58
So much snow. just I'm just. A that
3:00
can be over there more often really. And
3:03
not to come to come back. In the principal I
3:05
have the Warsaw Id T policies that one of my
3:07
home. I would like to
3:09
stress I'm terrible at the I why. The other
3:11
thing is no but my house apart from the
3:13
by to have three toilet is this. We moved
3:16
in and twenty fifteen and it was a new
3:18
build on. I bought the show furniture that. It
3:20
came with and with ssssss sus law you
3:22
can do. I know that that was a
3:24
possibility. I am. Such, I was slowest
3:26
disgusting. A just stinks a sister care
3:29
enough. I just don't care. Available
3:31
today. We have a lot on the docket.
3:33
First you are going to bring me the
3:36
most important news from Turf Island and then
3:38
ominous tell you about a you to plagiarism
3:40
scandal that has spiraled into something much darker.
3:42
If I had creepy music here this is
3:45
where I would insert it the before. he
3:47
gets a that I'm trying to get some
3:49
see that from are paying subscribers and since
3:51
you are in fact of hey Trevor he
3:54
did not have a free subscription. How
3:56
are you enjoying these Jesse Less episodes?
3:58
I mean. The times we fire him
4:01
what he thinks. You know what? I.
4:03
I felt sad for Jesse today because I
4:05
read. Or Andrea Long twos very long
4:07
to Peter and I am how old
4:09
children should belied to transition and do
4:12
whatever they want. And there and of
4:14
the whole para. I only got a brief
4:16
glancing mentioned but says he got a
4:18
whole paragraph and and I think the
4:20
the fact that he's annoyed her sufficiently
4:22
to merit an entire paragraph in her
4:24
ninety thousand word peace. Just what entirely
4:26
to sizes inclusion on this post. Of
4:28
my take away from that article that I
4:31
have had, not read the entire ninety thousand
4:33
words, I did probably read half of them.
4:35
My take away from it though is that
4:38
Andrea Launch You would make a very cool
4:40
babysitter. Not for the not from the adult
4:42
for success but she would be that the
4:44
whole thing was about and I should. I
4:47
think she deserves some credit for. This was
4:49
about how a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Is
4:52
sort of the. This place
4:54
requirements. For. Use Friends
4:56
isn't and kids should be ever be able
4:58
to transition because kids on their bodies and
5:01
freedom see his. the consummate Libertarian. I honestly
5:03
think that she should move to New Hampshire
5:05
and become friends with Car The Birth and
5:07
Go and join the Free Say project. It
5:10
was an incredibly Libertarians is yeah. I mean
5:12
I don't know why it's any more outrageous
5:14
to think that you would lead. Name
5:17
is twelve year old own and. Ak forty
5:19
seven on a officer and his his his
5:21
inner have lifesaver actually in America. we have
5:23
no problem with that. I mean, it's nice
5:25
she should move to Florida. Where
5:28
it was such things are encouraged. But
5:30
yeah I thought he was reaching some a British shows
5:32
me what I thought of it and I said it
5:34
reminded me a lot of the arguments for break them
5:36
so they were looks there was a be caucus it
5:39
breaks it is I who were Libertarians and what they
5:41
basically ones from breaks it was to turn us into
5:43
com The Singapore on Thames said that is a low
5:45
tax low regulation. States were basically a you can get
5:47
procaine and right broke aiding even get completely. Eating
5:50
at fired you know it will like a
5:52
kind of much more ah American approach to
5:54
employ. Mites, And European ones. but they correctly
5:56
intuitive that this would be wildly unpopular and
5:58
people like things like she didn't people sick,
6:01
pay holiday pay the ability to get fired.
6:03
They tend to really, really like it.
6:05
So instead the break the argument with. Multiple
6:07
Phones On Immigration and Controlling Borders on this
6:10
is a said a similar thing right? There
6:13
is a very logical Libertarian argument
6:15
for letting people transition is. This
6:17
is wildly unpopular and the reason. That
6:19
born this way and this is a in a
6:21
you have to do this or your kid will
6:23
kill themselves have gained so much traction is they
6:25
fundamentally appeal to way. More people than they do.
6:27
Like that the kids have a tattoo. Let
6:30
them stop. it's themselves off. all of this.
6:32
Is very cool, but he doesn't seem to
6:34
grapple with the fact that children are fundamentally
6:36
different than adults and children are stupid. Some
6:38
adults are stupid, but children are very stupid.
6:40
That's a new. Are you saying that because
6:43
you're tall? What it was is a trans?
6:45
Let us all the trans apathetic. Reactionary liberal
6:47
I think the Abbey know I remember it
6:49
cringing it was in people tried to make
6:51
far happen with feminist appropriating radical transcribe and
6:54
and was like wow that's a really bar
6:56
thing as insists aware that these yes. To
6:58
fit and that's really hard. These just to Oh
7:00
good. You're gonna regenerate. Because the good and you
7:02
can kind of forfeit, right? No. Pulitzer. Winning! And
7:05
your lungs you will have none. of this idea of what
7:07
grace and she's coming hot coming assess assess
7:09
with their with tall. And
7:11
you. The thing I do appreciate about
7:13
her is that. I'm
7:16
getting. I'm get like I'm blocked by. Transmitter.
7:19
So I don't know what the reaction it
7:21
has been on translator, but I'm guessing it's
7:23
hasn't been great because she has a tendency
7:25
to write about the reality of transition, which
7:27
that transition isn't necessarily going to make you
7:29
happy. She wrote that about her own. She
7:31
added she bought a vagina and some plants
7:33
and she what about it in the New
7:35
York Times and said you know, I don't
7:37
think my vagina is going to actually make
7:40
me happy And so I think her willingness
7:42
to write this thing that is almost guaranteed
7:44
to piss off everybody. it's a night she
7:46
might not have balls, Buses Gobbles, right? Idea?
7:48
No actually just sales. Me. While I so
7:50
the recipes had been as, I think it would be
7:53
massively ignored in the same way. If you remember when
7:55
New York Magazine have that trans man you'd have that's
7:57
freaky sea lodge and penis made. and I'm not saying
7:59
that. The author kept his vagina on another thing.
8:01
that's. Read like littering the Pc right? I wanted
8:03
the biggest what makes you keep it would give.
8:05
Read semi. the Magna yeah and it
8:08
was just the picture of him was
8:10
quite intense in terms of discovering. And
8:12
the kind of of chairman surgery and say that was
8:14
his son of and them lots of details and his
8:16
backstory by having been raped to win still living as
8:18
a woman and it was just not the kind of.
8:21
Lovely butterfly narratives and so everyone.
8:23
Just nothing. It was like it
8:25
never happened how it has. Like four
8:27
episodes on it. Was.
8:29
Just on the size of the package. All. Right?
8:32
But in the transact with community there wasn't this
8:34
kind of yes queen in a live your by
8:36
slice. It was just owner. This is embrace. Yeah,
8:38
it was just this is actually kind of embarrassing.
8:40
And of scripts. And therefore, it's
8:42
inconvenient. So let's pretend. That it didn't
8:45
happen. and I suspect. That be the case with
8:47
this hundred own to pieces. Well. Well thank
8:49
you to New York Magazine
8:51
for platforming the most unhinged,
8:53
sensible immigrants community. Appreciate that.
8:56
Are actually good. see learn new some
8:58
surveillance. Yeah. I got it. I got
9:00
three, but Sydney's and Tough Island for you and all didn't
9:02
really quickly The. First is Am Jk
9:04
Rowling Been fighting on the
9:06
internet again? Really? Yes, I'm.
9:09
Meza. Him to their votes the. Old
9:11
the original series of Chappelle Show and as
9:13
it once gets, which cari why they that
9:15
Chappelle. Says something about being really petty
9:17
and he goes to lucky for me
9:19
my family's petty to access and that's
9:21
how I think every time square feet.
9:24
Seiko for his tweets is just like
9:26
she's quite spectacularly petites and the name
9:28
is working as a lot of other
9:30
entities writing like another is at least
9:33
lay another blockbuster know and then to
9:35
think sites which really minor celebrity get
9:37
into trouble on twitter and say there
9:39
was a former tv presenter. Transom could
9:41
India willoughby? And takes common with
9:44
the argument so it's a bit. Essentially She said the
9:46
air and you will be spread to his he and
9:48
his a man and Willoughby said this is a hate.
9:50
Crime. I'm going to report it to
9:52
the police or her. Ah, an important
9:54
Votes: Even hundred slightly draconian hate speech
9:56
or so isn't really going to get
9:59
anywhere but this. Young kid from. A new
10:01
a puppet called Byline Times that you. Probably.
10:03
Haven't heard of. It's not very well known. It
10:05
was described by well as folks in his pocket
10:07
producer his weight trees in fi was which I
10:10
guess translated into American his like. Whole
10:12
Foods info will have you. Covered
10:15
from wars is actually. Whole Foods
10:18
for ethic and. Says but as
10:20
it is this kid call them kalan
10:22
robertson. Into the window will obese and. Then
10:24
said you know, know, cause I extend an invitation
10:26
to stake a rolling t But she didn't say
10:28
yes And so he really meant. Either.
10:30
Know who was Be guilty Mullally pointed out
10:33
that she's got one or two things on
10:35
at Slate Mom. With a phenomenally successful book
10:37
series and many that key to pretty a
10:39
credit such continues to hold. This,
10:41
and she wasn't about scared of him. Anyway, at
10:43
that point, the kid. I called her
10:46
a putrid c word at one am,
10:48
which is no. Practically why would
10:50
advise doing when you want to get people to be
10:52
interviewed by you but in a. Is that it
10:54
is that a hate crime in the Uk
10:56
know? because that's the Larry Stable. The aggravating
10:58
factors that home with a bit unfair be
11:00
whatever sexism misogyny isn't one of if they
11:03
on an avid happened when I just didn't
11:05
put that when and and success as a
11:07
good word they couldn't included yeah I'm I'm
11:09
anyway. the Footloose to Fitness is a strange.
11:11
The funny thing about. The stories this
11:13
guy used to be Tommy Robinson saving
11:16
se Lennon as his given name. they
11:18
kind of and far as teach in
11:20
the sort of Steve Bannon ask multi
11:22
speed cameraman and as archiving at ease.
11:24
Of him talking to learn southern and.
11:27
Other. Outright think is about how gay men
11:29
will have diseases and the sentences and fine
11:31
line to that it will gain an easy
11:33
game. And yes so he's speaking from experience
11:35
of i like an average of five hundred
11:37
sexual policy isn't he likes of chemical a
11:39
lot on and the violence say that they
11:41
d radicalized him and it was just the
11:43
my perfect example of that horseshoe theory. It's
11:45
like I like to say to people and
11:47
t realize what is the vexed if we're
11:49
doing this in my current environment. So yeah
11:51
I thought a catch up a bit. On
11:53
Jk great are you interested in
11:55
Kate Middleton? Extremely
11:57
Okay, so see.
12:00
If he went to hospital for Christmas and
12:02
the police and said. They said
12:04
have an operation she's going to disappear from. So
12:06
it's but this is just you Know, the people
12:08
making tic talks about the Amber Heard Johnny Depp
12:11
trial or her. Those people and I'm making Take
12:13
talks about well what some? The Kate Middleton Aha.
12:15
And they kind of tried to do a proof of life.
12:17
Photo at the weekend the mother's Day photo
12:19
and it tenants been quite badly photo shopped.
12:22
So everybody now he's got all
12:24
kinds of early theories. About what's
12:26
happened the. And and it's when this really
12:28
way. So who really of did like the Palace
12:30
released this slut Desoto the visit like as a
12:32
either hello this is a thing it was released
12:34
by Kensington Palace which is the household of the
12:36
Prince and Princess of Wales and it was supposed
12:38
to be taken by William Some and or the
12:40
fights Way to see the quite annoyed because this
12:42
kind of business of hand that faces this happened
12:44
really often It happened in America at if you
12:46
member Barack Obama had that guy. He took all
12:48
these photos and always kind of yes adorable
12:50
and of like the kid touching his hair
12:52
and you know he's laughing and the kings
12:55
the suave when we know that was all
12:57
taken by guide that basically was in him
12:59
of producing propaganda for him. Said
13:01
the news agencies are really pretty annoyed about
13:03
this sort of stuff. Sites: They withdrew
13:05
the photo late on Sunday night and said
13:08
it's been altered and which point the kind
13:10
of basically the skies valid and it
13:12
is now open season on kind of like
13:14
looks these that lineup. The checks on the
13:17
dress proves that it's she's been stuffed.
13:19
An extraordinary is that the whole country's. Lost
13:21
their minds it is. I think the have
13:23
Madame Tussaud's in a in the Uk. As
13:25
good as I think we invented Madame Tussauds
13:27
ssssss not sound like it's at American. named
13:30
as it spreads. Original was a seat I
13:32
think sick as have a really weird feeling
13:34
that she started off during the French Revolution
13:36
making Death Mask. The people been guillotine says
13:38
as she got a big break. but yes. We
13:40
did have that would make sense. That make sense.
13:43
Maybe that maybe that's what they used for the
13:45
Thera will? What's your what's your theory about where
13:47
kid is? I think she's genuinely got a medical
13:49
problem. And she doesn't fancy explaining it
13:51
to the rest of us, given that
13:54
it's not our intestines. And an
13:56
end to probably kind of recess is
13:58
sick enough to a threesome. It's
14:00
it's it's really bizarre situation which we we
14:03
just don't can't cope with with not knowing
14:05
you think that as. She's.
14:07
Not just the normal celebrity you know she is
14:09
an employee of the people. Write a mean don't
14:11
attack don't you guys pay your bills to think
14:14
she has some obligation to pop up and say
14:16
hey over here I'm so was here with that's
14:18
the thing is it now they have. They do
14:20
have public duties but I also think there's a
14:22
situation where the fact that we tell me things
14:24
into kind of massive online be no ammo or
14:26
a. Jays. And an i described
14:29
as to a colleague his. Q and
14:31
on for hums. Which had any translate summer and
14:33
but like I hung in Britain is like a
14:35
wine mom and America. And the okay,
14:37
basically like here and seeing, but my
14:39
gut the kind of benign side. Of
14:41
the karen ah really in the innocent
14:44
people, he might buy a dry, rabid
14:46
drink prosecco. And have like armed
14:48
you have like lives love last
14:50
the core and I don't know
14:52
exactly. In this has run some
14:55
prosecco, those kind of snacks and of
14:57
I am. I would guess that Mumsnet is probably
14:59
going wild with us with the speculation is it is
15:01
a I. I mean if they take in five minutes.
15:03
From. Of praising
15:06
Crazy Parker. Yeah, maybe they have a
15:08
good second Spear Essentially has become a
15:10
kind of you know I. Just I'm
15:12
I'm I was is. Something when the first when these
15:14
I can remember his and I think it was probably
15:16
that the third term. the hum for the Boston Bomber
15:18
and ready identified. Some pool and student of
15:20
Indian descent who attends it's at a
15:22
strain himself into a river but it
15:24
was. His sentence everybody told themselves what they
15:27
were doing with Vital National. Security. Work
15:29
on what they see during was playing a
15:31
cunning join a clue rice. And them in
15:33
true crime is so popular I think especially
15:35
among women in there is is. A
15:38
very dark side of it like
15:40
as an example. I. Am
15:42
faced with friends with a guy who's and
15:45
I. I don't actually know hi know but
15:47
I'm I'm faced with friends with a guy.
15:49
His daughter fourteen year old daughter was murdered
15:51
and super tragic. That no
15:54
suspects have that nobody's been arrested
15:56
and he is constantly he's posting
15:58
about these bad. That he has
16:00
with these internet flus most of whom are
16:02
women who have can be who are kept
16:05
have convinced himself that he is guilty and
16:07
are like actively trying to ruin this man's
16:09
life a night. So I have naturally I
16:11
joined a facebook group to see what was
16:13
going out and if people are. Deeply.
16:16
Deeply fucking and thus it and deeply of
16:18
the hands and don't see it seemed like
16:20
it, like it's a hobby, it's a game.
16:23
For. Them. I'm sure they think that they're doing
16:25
something very. Just. But what they're
16:27
doing is actually hurting someone who's already
16:29
been extremely hard. Anything to do with
16:31
children to try Set said it was
16:33
the case here of Madeline. Mccann who was
16:35
a kid he was probably murdered. certainly disappeared from
16:38
Portugal. and the inner there was a the Portuguese
16:40
parents slightly put the suspicion on the pet at
16:42
the Portuguese police Like you put the suspicion on
16:44
the parents who tend to have up see nothing
16:46
to do with it, but it was a similar
16:49
thing of people pouring through the evidence. Yeah, And
16:51
then I guess the case of them. Jon Benet
16:53

17:01
been making enormous be complicated diagrams
17:03
of have suffered. And I just think yeah,
17:05
you're right, But I guess this is a slightly. More
17:08
harmless version of fun in that she's
17:10
got a whole protect evaporate is random,
17:12
but nonetheless, I just mentioned that laughing
17:14

22:07
helen he familiar with by to i'm really not
22:09
and i think that the sex very well on
22:11

22:13
tell me about it. I a sort
22:16
a surprised you're not more familiar with a
22:18
huge you might be just don't know that
22:20
term for it. So it's the term commonly
22:22
used to describe left his you tube and
22:24
so the most famous bread hubris contra points.
22:27
Great front of the pod and like her.
22:29
Many. Bread to burst. Focus on
22:32
social justice, queer his shoes, alternative
22:34
and someone wacky takes on history.
22:36
Things like that Disbarred poured they
22:38
may would absolutely love this. And
22:40
they leave. They make extremely long.
22:42
Like killers of the Flower Moon
22:44
Long. Video. Essays about
22:46
for instance, why capitalism outside
22:49
lay capitalism is dreadful Back.
22:52
Does that make sense? Know because I've never
22:54
understood what like how the system I don't
22:56
the anyone does very premature isn't It's like
22:58
calling somebody like oh I'm said united. The

What kind of money would you know that annexing.
23:04
I love about this term is that it was coined
23:06
and like the nineteen thirties. Even
23:09
later capitalism says yes. I saw
23:11
our main character today's a bread
23:13
super named James Summer Ten. He's
23:15
a gay Canadian video as a
23:17
as to focus on queer literature,
23:19
film, culture and history is corridor
23:21
was named Nick Her got and
23:23
his youtube channel before he neutered
23:25
and we'll get to why he
23:27
knew sit later. Had three hundred
23:29
and thirty thousand subscribers and he
23:31
posted videos with names like Disney's
23:33
were against. Gay kids and the
23:35
necessity of gay crime. And here's
23:37
an excerpt from his Twenty Twenty
23:39
One video and over emotional look
23:41
at why Jk Rowling is bad.
23:44
Actor: Oh it. I can't wrap my head
23:47
around how this happened. Honestly,
23:49
How this woman who wrote books
23:51
the defined my adolescence and adolescences
23:54
Queer people around the world became
23:56
so toxic. How did she so
23:59
quickly go? From being the author
24:01
held up by millions as an example
24:03
of woken us. To. This
24:05
will never know I'm did you see that Great
24:07
quote by a merry must see his this week
24:10
in which she said he like harry poses for
24:12
till for a second twenty five years some really
24:14
be to move on a think you need to
24:16
get a personality instead of a Hogwarts Hunt says
24:19
and I just presets that them it was up
24:21
there with the time the him at the same
24:23
said about Game of Thrones like why they would
24:25
see to gives you like it's experiences great tits
24:28
and dragons. And and says,
24:30
the heart of the adults who get invested
24:32
in Harry Potter or they're basically Disney adults
24:34
is not that not that different? Yeah, well
24:36
when I write my face my first piece
24:39
about to take your own. Pace the kind
24:41
of essay the point of binge a curling phones
24:43
Mcnair. It became very obvious to the basic. everyone
24:45
who ran the Harry Potter fan sites would basically
24:47
my age and I know I liked Harry Potter.
24:50
It's a great series of Reddit number of times
24:52
and watch the films they put the bay, repeat
24:54
them and I'd I'd like to marvel at church
24:56
children big bad acting power and influence them. But
24:58
and. You. Know it's it's a bit
25:00
night, let kids have stuff and do
25:02
you do adult things now? I'm also
25:04
very curious about how many people. Who
25:07
has the overlap between the The Potter
25:09
fans like and hardcore Potter fans who
25:11
grew up in were still hardcore Potter
25:13
fans and queers? That's a that's a
25:15
circle and how many of them have
25:17
Harry Potter tattoos at the Than? Had
25:19
to go go get Roman. Oh definitely.
25:21
I saw people having a Deathly Hallows
25:23
tattoos removed and you think the ah
25:25
yes but any and I knew somebody
25:27
who name that kid after Atticus Finch.
25:30
Which before that sequel came out. I.
25:33
See. It like a paragon of justice so
25:35
think and we will lenses a valuable lesson
25:37
that's a much in a millennial Children of
25:39
Millennials name of I. Also one thing that
25:41
I found interesting about this was that. Before
25:44
she came out as a tour of
25:46
he was held up as a paragon
25:48
of woke nest because the him that's
25:50
a virtue and uses I'd like so
25:52
rarely hear somebody use that term that
25:54
was literally sure but usually with derision
25:57
and I think that says something about
25:59
are different quarter. The the internet like I
26:01
have not heard anyone is that is anything
26:03
but pejorative in years. but for him it's
26:05
like she used to be work and now
26:07
she's not another bad eggs. And he also.
26:10
He. Makes it all about himself. Rate Classic
26:12
the Harry Potter fan narcissism and he
26:14
eat later in the video. He
26:17
goes into detail about what he sees
26:19
as Rawlings the sent into Bigotry what
26:22
was her part there, and he blames
26:24
Rupert Murdoch in the Uk press. He
26:26
blames Australian feminists Sheila Jeffreys and at
26:29
one point he says that both Abraxas
26:31
in Donald Trump's Twenty Sixteen. Election
26:34
victories, Were. Blamed on trans
26:36
people and I swear to God I was
26:38
around then and I don't recall anyone blaming
26:40
like trees Strangio a his transfer and friends
26:42
for the election of Donald Trump. I mean
26:44
did it did that happen? Know somebody
26:46
for me to argue with the impeccable fact
26:49
checking skills of this weepy going you tube.
26:51
but I'm brenda time it breaks it. The
26:53
Tory party and the Labour party in Britain
26:55
were both committed to so far down. The
26:59
inner that that lasted ah yes the twenty
27:01
fifteen was of women cause you select committee
27:03
hearing that was shared by Tory Mp that
27:06
is recommended self id and that was in
27:08
a detour is a curious about that label
27:10
fully on board for this so are you
27:12
know mean you could say kind of. Briggs.
27:15
It was a backlash. To progressivism, all identity,
27:17
politics or kind of whiteness generally that so
27:19
to support was to then the other thing
27:22
about Trump if you member twenty sixteen era
27:24
trump was I'd let. Caitlin Jenny's whatever
27:26
bathroom she wanted to at Trump Tower lay
27:28
on the Republican Party have you would sexually
27:30
assault her? He? That's how. Lucky
27:33
Lessons Son censuses the ultimate
27:35
endorsement of her femininity split.
27:38
Up with the issue, the in in the Republican
27:40
party hadn't really. Fully latched on to be
27:42
electoral potential of just going, we know what
27:44
woman is. Adam, This was way
27:46
before the backlash. yeah, I think this
27:48
than the front last. I'm also not
27:51
entirely clear. How I'm Rupert Murdoch. Reason.
27:53
This game that regularly fairly notoriously hate see
27:55
and journalism in the if what? The. Character
27:57
Rita Skeeter may be like a Murdoch.
28:00
Journalists to just sort of make things up.
28:02
I'm so do I know entirely clear how
28:04
he how he did that. but every game.
28:06
Will That will actually be answered for
28:08
a short late. but that's is vibe.
28:10
So school, the nasal homosexual who knows
28:13
more than you do. he's up. Some
28:15
minor scandals before the big we're not.
28:17
we're going to get to today. So
28:19
for instance, in December, Twenty Twenty two,
28:21
Nebula that's a popular streaming service and
28:23
Youtube competitor. They declined to take him
28:25
on, and he said that this was
28:28
because Nebula had quote know queer contents
28:30
and this upset Nebula content creators like
28:32
trans women Jesse Tender, such as He
28:34
isn't It, that's what he's been doing.
28:36
A book leaves anyway. So they got enough
28:38
fight about this Nebula thing and fans of
28:41
hers said that during this period James slotted
28:43
her. We can find any evidence to support
28:45
that allegations you see will saying an online
28:47
and for what it's worth, I don't I
28:50
doubt it. but. Anyway, some people
28:52
think that he shady two thousand and
28:54
twenty twenty two and then I'm Marsha
28:56
Twenty Twenty three he cause a bit
28:58
of it up said on twitter by
29:00
tweeting this there's a photo and are
29:02
notes Helen please describe so it's not
29:04
popular meme. have. Some so
29:06
cartoon character. again. I've been watching
29:09
films made for. Adults
29:11
don't. Look familiar with
29:13
all the swords point Scotland seen it which is as
29:16
a like what's an opinion or have you like this.
29:18
And then. Doctors.
29:20
Snow Perfect. She her has treated what's
29:22
the sex work opinion total happy like this
29:25
and james some to the great treaty with
29:27
it. Was. Not only should it be
29:29
legal, but it should be subsidized as
29:31
a mental health service. He's
29:34
very clearly not American. We did not
29:36
subsidized health. If
29:39
is the live in both for not enough
29:42
for him This Okay so he followed it
29:44
up with a second tweet url and please
29:46
read this. So. The majority of people
29:48
say express gets and human contact can be an
29:50
imperative to a healthy state of mind. A kind
29:53
in talented six was it can make someone feel
29:55
wanted for the first time in their life. I
29:57
know sex workers who have put people back from
29:59
so. I just by being that looked
30:01
so resident lot of for like six a
30:03
very or definition of easier for some of
30:06
the I like to be levied. Letting you
30:08
put your beat is a my vagina assess
30:10
what friends do. So
30:12
he took a lot of flak for this.
30:14
He was briefly the main character on Twitter.
30:16
The tweets have now been deleted, but a
30:18
couple weeks after that he can plan that
30:21
The twitter reactions to his is bizarre believes
30:23
about search word had led to a drop
30:25
in his p three on numbers. Frankly,
30:28
I can. I doubt that because I don't think
30:30
that his the audience that he told debated are
30:32
like hardcore terms. You think that sex work is
30:34
inherently damaging, their more like you know that sex
30:37
organs were a crowd. But this will come back
30:39
later to. So. There's been some
30:41
drama of and on rumors about various
30:43
wrong doings but he was doing pretty
30:45
well so he had a popular youtube
30:47
channel he was reportedly bringing and six
30:49
figures on Petri on near be private
30:52
discord and then recently things change for
30:54
some items. Before we get to that
30:56
though, we need to introduce a new
30:58
character. Harry Brewers A K H Bomber
31:00
Guy He's a very big name on
31:02
Bread Tube. He has over one point
31:04
five million subscribers that some of his
31:07
most popular videos focus on Things like
31:09
debunking the link between vaccines, And autism
31:11
or climate change denial? And
31:14
he's legitimately He's famous online and somewhat
31:16
of a hero and social justice spaces,
31:18
so you might remember this on So
31:20
and Twenty Nineteen and I, the controversial
31:22
British trans kid cod mermaid had from
31:25
public funding withheld, so Bruce responded to
31:27
this by plane donkey Kong on Twitch
31:29
for fifty seven hours, he raised two
31:31
hundred and sixty five thousand pounds, and
31:33
big names like A O Sea made
31:36
cameos on his stream. You
31:38
pop in for that right to know I just
31:40
a com do twitch and issues or same reason
31:42
I can't do you cheap and I think this
31:44
I didn't. If you think December this is just
31:46
a generational thing. Where people's
31:48
lives just watching this a large amount of
31:50
reduce coming through they can. These people not
31:53
skyn read are just so. Inefficient just to
31:55
anyone watching people play video games. Reminds me
31:57
of being a kid and he would go
31:59
over to someone. The house and like you would
32:01
have to sit around and watch their brother play
32:03
video games like this. I find this incredibly dogs
32:05
like the one of the best things. About begin
32:07
Adam is the I get to play my yeah
32:09
video games and I. Don't have to share my
32:12
consulate anyone because your sex segregation as you make
32:14
your husband have his own it's to at he
32:16
plays sit down, Says the like to blame
32:18
them Bioshock upstairs to saucy com. Essa
32:20
that's God made the two genders
32:22
like that and obsessing separates. So
32:25
in December, Twenty Twenty two Brewers, his
32:27
producer caught low. she started sniffing around
32:30
Summer Ten. She was one of the
32:32
people who'd spread the rumor that in
32:34
Florida as he gender and she also
32:36
tweeted around that same time that she'd
32:39
heard that Summer Ten had plagiarized some
32:41
of his videos. So she starts poking
32:43
around, asking questions. and then a full
32:45
year later. So December third, Twenty Twenty
32:48
Three: Harry Brewers H Bomber Guy. Trump
32:50
Says Bombshell video entitled Plagiarism and you
32:52
tube this three hours and sixty one
32:54
minutes long talent you want to take
32:56
a bathroom break of we Want says.
32:59
Oh No. No
33:02
against assists so if you
33:04
break it down, lids. Jessica,
33:06
the eighties baby heroically did.
33:09
The. Video consists of one hour and forty
33:11
nine minutes. Abreu is calling out Minority
33:13
to Birth for plagiarism, and the remaining
33:15
two hours and one minute or focus
33:17
entirely on James Somerton and the Summer
33:19
Sun. Content starts with a chapter untitled,
33:21
the twists you expected. Let's watch the
33:23
beginning of that here. The first video
33:26
of his I ever saw was about disease
33:28
relationship with the queer community and in it
33:30
he claims Disney set up an event called
33:32
Game Night and claims to give the profits
33:35
to charities, but actually kept the money during
33:37
the nineteen Nineties. Do these parts also try
33:39
profiting from their Lgbt fans by creating Game
33:41
Night a one night he or event of
33:43
parks were Lgbt folk would be the main
33:46
guess? It was a big hit. Initially, the
33:48
revenue was all to be donated to the
33:50
Aid for Aids Foundation, but by ninety ninety
33:52
five donations to the charity had dried up.
33:55
Disney was keeping all the profits for
33:58
themselves. He's miss remember Really well known
34:00
event. Again, I was not set up
34:02
by Disney. They didn't sanction it's a
34:04
travel agency. Rented the park out for
34:06
the night and they kept the money
34:09
they were supposed to have donated. This
34:11
is a bit sloppy, but then he
34:13
claims that more progressive Ceo Bob Iger
34:15
expanded game nights into full day day
34:18
events under his stewardship to me switched
34:20
from the once a year gay know
34:22
that Disney parks to the food Gay
34:24
Day's event, rebranding the occasion into a
34:26
more family friendly affair. Now obviously I
34:29
get couldn't rebrand. Something Disney wasn't
34:31
doing and have no control over
34:33
Days is actually a completely separate
34:35
event, which is also unofficial and
34:37
unsanctioned by Disney. Also, it started
34:39
before game night and fifteen years
34:41
before I get became Ceo is
34:44
kind of impressive how wrong this
34:46
was. He's giving fucking Disney credit
34:48
for the actions of independent queer
34:50
people. It really downplays the work
34:52
that people put into organizing stuff
34:54
like a Days. It's super disappointing.
34:57
honestly. So the video is is
34:59
full of examples of Summer Ten just
35:01
getting set wrong and as far as
35:03
points out, his whole thing is about
35:05
out elevating marginalized groups like Disney Gays.
35:08
and he gets it so wrong that
35:10
he continually a racism and just as
35:12
an example like he also claimed that
35:14
some Japanese ice skating enemy couldn't the
35:17
is virtually gay his hands wanted to
35:19
because Japan has a law restricting their
35:21
content to nighttime fairly. With all the
35:23
wrong about that Ambrose says basically summers
35:25
and read something on twitter. He
35:27
doesn't bother to fact check it, he puts
35:30
in his videos people repeat and he just
35:32
spread misinformation all over the place. And then
35:34
he gets to the plagiarism stuff normally. In
35:36
the situation, I would just know watch his
35:38
videos and live my life. But over the
35:40
last couple of years Summer Sun has been
35:42
repeatedly accused of plagiarism. In response, some Sun
35:44
is claimed he never ripped off any one
35:46
and the times he did weren't even that
35:48
bad. Anyway, if if I had been plagiarizing
35:50
videos. I. Wouldn't.
35:53
Have. A channel.
35:56
I would be called out all the time by people
35:58
saying he stole my shit. But. I
36:00
don't plagiarize the one time that
36:03
there actually was plagiarism. It.
36:05
Was by mistake. And I fixed
36:07
it immediately and it is no longer. In.
36:09
My video. And the
36:12
other to accusations one with silly that's
36:14
an. Interesting way of saying he
36:16
didn't do it. Ah, when three or
36:18
four separate videos have three or four
36:20
separate plagiarism controversies. a tad. There's
36:23
not three or four summers and is
36:25
telling the truth here. There. Are
36:27
not three or four accusations. Whenever these allegations
36:29
are brought up, however, a son of his
36:31
will normally pop up to accuse them of
36:33
harassing a gay man and claim this is
36:35
all part of a deliberate homophobic campaign against
36:38
a clear creator. By I don't mean to
36:40
be rape, I can practically hear this man's
36:42
fedora. You know when I
36:44
mean like I still a few months if. Is like I
36:46
don't see. He studied very fast game reviews
36:48
and talking can be quickly into his microphone
36:51
from that that bit. but. I think
36:53
the thing it's really we'd be as and
36:55
I would never have thought that there was
36:57
an audience for people so intensely passing people's
36:59
casual speech in a bit when he says
37:02
like. And that's right. You are
37:04
unclean. Plagiarism. Silly. that's a strange.
37:06
Way of denying it new like but it is a
37:08
with the web denying if something silly you think it's
37:11
true and but also. Why we having this argument?
37:13
Why Why why am I think I'm I'm
37:15
like that's what a couple of scholar. Poring
37:17
over the kind of texts. Isn't that what? Why
37:19
is is what needs it has become. see. Has
37:21
a massive audience for this sort of thought into
37:23
you might want to think about pivoting. And
37:26
see what? the other thing I just. Thought the reason I laughed when
37:28
I said listen to as i if he's he's giving old
37:30
is kind of my and I just felt a responsibility to
37:32
the community but you can do to tell really bad she
37:35
wouldn't with him is his massively successful in he thinks a
37:37
bit of a hack and then says it struck me this.
37:39
In some ways Summit in his his. kind of like he's. White
37:41
Whale. It's like his Michael Hope is lost.
37:43
I do What? Why do people like this
37:45
stuff would have? I don't when I think
37:47
it's bad. Was I completely understand? Okay,
37:49
so the summers and says he didn't
37:52
plagiarize, but Brewers has lots of receipts
37:54
so he says late in the video
37:56
he says summers and video transcripts are
37:58
frequently plagiarize Word for word. From articles
38:00
he found online or documentaries, he has
38:02
a club. At one point I'm somewhat
38:05
him just reading straight from Wikipedia for
38:07
several minutes, which unless you're going by
38:09
the Bill Ackman definition of plagiarism definitely
38:11
counts. and Bruce sounds mad a nightclub
38:14
that we just listen to, but he
38:16
also seems kind of conflicted about his
38:18
own role and airing Summer to The
38:20
Dirty Laundry. I don't know I'm supposed
38:22
to do about this. I
38:25
don't even know if I should be making
38:27
this video. I was just
38:29
trying to double check two or
38:31
three olds plagiarism accusations. And
38:34
I ended up finding a whole
38:36
bunch more. and I have functionally
38:38
made a drama video about some
38:40
guy. And. Worse
38:42
is this video goes up
38:44
and as monetized and and
38:47
guess views I have been
38:49
paid financially rewarded for making
38:51
this. I.
38:53
Don't find unacceptable. Especially
38:56
not when the story is really about
38:58
people who would never compensated for their
39:00
work being stolen. So to make sure
39:02
I have no financial incentives to make
39:04
a video like this again, I'm going
39:06
to be dividing any of the ad
39:08
revenue this video makes among the creators
39:10
James stole from. I'll be conducting a
39:12
thorough examination of every video games has
39:15
posted including the many he has deleted.
39:17
I can find all kinds of and
39:19
contact everyone I can. I think that will use
39:21
of here is some Ema. Think. About lot because I
39:23
think about it. my journalism which is you just
39:25
have so little control. Now if you drop a
39:27
grenade somewhere about what you're going to do to
39:30
someone's. Life. And new that kiwi
39:32
for phrase of not touching the pace. If
39:34
you have a thousand people in your audience
39:36
you know not point one percent of them
39:38
touch to pay. that's the pool is still
39:40
been touched. Randomly and I just think
39:42
that. I can understand that. Feeling of
39:44
reluctance about the i just don't know what the consequences
39:46
are. A full of what it is that you're you're
39:49
putting out there now and in you can't control and
39:51
you have to be okay with that even if you
39:53
don't. Know. I be. I think
39:55
about that all the time, and I come up
39:57
with these sort of almost arbitrary metrics about. What
40:00
is like what is a valid enough
40:02
story for me to cover on the
40:04
show and what it often comes down
40:06
to is yours Like? does somebody have
40:08
enough followers? Which is it in that's
40:10
kind of arbitrary to. it's not like
40:13
once you have. Fifty
40:15
thousand followers are hundred thousand followers Your
40:17
immune from the effects of social authorization?
40:19
You're not. I mean if I had
40:21
my way I would do this show
40:23
never ausubel for comment and they would
40:25
never ever find out that we did
40:27
a show about of unfortunately asked for
40:29
comment is also a necessary part of
40:31
their in journalism. I may have another
40:33
thing that really separates. The people I think
40:35
of is being those kind of you know
40:37
a me to think people who a podcast
40:39
isn't there since she chat show hosts from
40:41
people who journalists because there is nothing that
40:43
is haunted and going to somebody. And you know
40:45
I have done this where you have to go to some in say so.
40:48
I got pretty good evidence that your you
40:50
know a player is your sex pest, your
40:52
a racist would not comment on that and
40:54
most people would just would rather die than
40:56
do those things because they and people are
40:59
completely avoidance. but you have to do me
41:01
of to legally you have to ethically. And
41:03
it is the difference You can't his. Ring the doorbell
41:06
and and. Runaway, right? I mean, I'm in
41:08
the fortunate position that most people just ignore me.
41:11
Yeah I guess is even getting specific of the baby
41:14
daily Atlanta or at a different yes as and unfortunately
41:16
like that ema just as let people because he and
41:18
this is gonna cause I'm some problems as a sunset
41:20
it's on the other thing that people day when is
41:23
if they were really trying guilt trip you and that's
41:25
i had a dog rather some was. Incredibly rude
41:27
to me than the people trying and of
41:29
like make you feel bad about stuff and
41:31
I'm quite susceptible to that's I have had
41:34
to hard and hard my high them over
41:36
some time. I am to add
41:38
their stories that I've been working
41:40
on recently. that someone. Basically.
41:43
Begged me not to cover as it will ruin
41:45
their lives. And I will. Often
41:47
times I will. I will listen to them.
41:49
And then I mean my hope is always
41:51
that they will combat. They'll come back later
41:53
and say okay I'm ready to have the
41:55
story told you to fill a pretty brutal
41:57
prices. And I think of you know it.
42:00
I think most of the other thing is that
42:02
lots of people who are mentally unwell or unstable
42:04
seat attention. Yeah, that's very difficult because sometimes you
42:06
do have to do stories. About people who
42:08
want any really particularly great place, but they've
42:11
hurt other people and they shouldn't be allowed
42:13
to do them without consequence. And
42:15
then not the only person in the world
42:17
And that combat again you have to the
42:19
was that phrase the Grim Reapers I am
42:21
a sliver of ice in your hawks to
42:23
to come countless a browser Yes but but
42:26
you have to. You have to. Take
42:28
the view that is the story is important
42:30
to know send you have to be okay
42:32
with a bag to consequences to during it's
42:34
but it totally. Yeah, I mean I think
42:36
that isn't that is a part of being a you mentioned
42:38
Jk Rowling. Paid for unless I
42:41
don't. We get that and part of me as
42:43
or less as as you have to. Come.
42:45
To terms with the fact that people aren't necessarily and
42:47
a like you have, some people will but oftentimes unit
42:49
pissing people off and think journalists like to tell themselves
42:52
that were just like speaking truth to power and not
42:54
deluding myself. A that's true and like a Some of
42:56
the Scissors makes good stories of people. What an insane
42:58
and I'm here right worms? Well yeah but then he
43:00
was. The thing I mean to get by Kate Middleton
43:02
is all the people. I'm sure the same people. Who
43:05
said hi? Tablet was row privacy invasion. oh in
43:07
of it which the crown and they sell the
43:09
Beastie Press straight on into her desk bump lameness
43:11
of the same people making. Tix of it is
43:13
a bias Princess Charlotte sleeve is in Cook so. What
43:15
does this tell me about their marriage and like it's
43:18
just natural prune human clear as to but when people
43:20
have that pointed at them there and them to be
43:22
quite defensive about to but you that I. Can hear
43:24
why did you have a decent about. Good news
43:26
because you wouldn't read it the page
43:28
or I'm very sorry that we're in
43:30
a we now know exactly what it
43:32
is the people read and it is
43:34
a cruel and prairie and right and
43:36
intrusive and about sex and drugs and
43:38
death to. Their own when it's the when it's
43:41
the a public figure was the world, family or
43:43
even as same as you to where you can
43:45
tell yourself that you're punching up. People's.
43:47
It's not like it's not like having money shield
43:50
you from the reality Being human, were having followers
43:52
especially. Yeah, Unending. That's where punching up came. From
43:54
as a discuss it with a way for people
43:56
to trade in very simple moral certainty to to
43:59
be cruel and feel a gray about it basically
44:01
because it was essentially you deserve I. Like to
44:03
punch Dell and I mostly like to punch down as is
44:05
easier I don't have to look up. doesn't hurt my neck.
44:08
But now I mean that's a great
44:10
other for poker face puns nine and
44:12
you just have multiplies grapes the way
44:14
alumnus access a list of the this
44:16
this poor guy a identity as you
44:19
do anything that was worse than the
44:21
couple of instances of plagiarism and there
44:23
are other allegations against since. Okay, so
44:25
there are other allegations are in the
44:27
traps are entitled shouldn't need to do
44:29
this. Brewers calls out Summer Ten for
44:31
massage. Any so for example, And
44:33
his video Summer since video is called
44:35
the Troubling Thirst for Jeffrey Dahmer his
44:37
source material. It was an article by
44:39
a woman named sure Body doesn't The.
44:42
Featured. The Senate's quote now people, Earth
44:44
or thing for Dahmer by purchasing tickets and
44:46
tweeting about his suppose that attractiveness and then
44:48
in summer to video this because there is
44:50
a thirst for Dahmer made apparent on tic
44:53
toc and twitter with hordes of white women
44:55
droning over how attractive years. Since
44:58
his illnesses or exotics of the inserted the
45:00
words white women and this is proof of
45:02
his was other they have some essentially that
45:04
through his wife it's. Cool
45:06
that they start women like me and say
45:09
that if he says lackland Air B S.
45:12
Nine. And and but somebody pointed out there
45:14
was a for i'm emphasize about like the what
45:16
night and twenty nineteen to twenty twenty one where
45:18
you could submit to things he. Said. About women
45:20
if you like of mine and white women,
45:22
women are so annoying. White women are so
45:25
annoying see as he. Says it's true that
45:27
that the same thing the same thing exists with
45:29
men users whiteman say white man the was is
45:31
like that a swipe says why gay or oh
45:33
yeah it's it's true you can just insert these
45:36
was say again say but you're punching up on
45:38
it and in if you're a guy and you
45:40
so so that he what he's done here ironically
45:42
for game and is he the raise the many.
45:44
White Game any presumed Yosef and
45:47
Jeffrey Dahmer Quite attractive. Like his
45:49
is this don't see Initially I meant
45:51
that was true. Yes. So Bruce's find
45:53
a lot of plagiarism at least twenty
45:56
two of summer, since Sixty Six publish
45:58
videos on Youtube contains plagiarize. Hundred and
46:00
then after Bruce's video dropped, Redditors
46:02
sniffed out even more plagiarism and
46:04
the H Bomber Guy Discord now
46:06
features a channel devoted to finding
46:08
all of the sources that summer
46:11
and ripped off. Wonder that
46:13
are also put together. A good hub
46:15
of summer since transcript to encourage internet
46:17
sleuths is when the fun with have
46:19
a real track the true crime situation.
46:21
So the H Bomber Guy video created
46:23
major waves. There are hundreds thousands of
46:25
response videos across the internet and the
46:28
original video now has over eighteen million
46:30
views. As. Intense. Hatred
46:32
Semitic Spot. So he took down the
46:34
specific videos that brewers had called out
46:36
and he might have been able to
46:38
wriggle his way out of it. But
46:40
it turns out that Bruce's video was
46:42
just the starts. Let's take a break.
46:45
To. An ad for free listeners and housekeeping.
46:49
Katie, Have you ever thought about why
46:51
your wireless bill is so expensive? It's
46:53
all just radio waves and how expensive
46:55
to the single radio wave even be?
46:57
I actually have thought about this and
47:00
I'm pretty sure it's because fuel prices
47:02
for super yachts are really high. Plus,
47:04
there's property taxes in the Hamptons. donations
47:07
to political parties, paying off bribes he
47:09
got hookers, child support, or Girl Scout
47:11
cookies or. Sunlight A. Lot
47:14
like America is gonna make itself great and
47:16
your and stuff costs money. But now thanks
47:18
to Mint Mobile you do have a choice
47:20
because right now Mint Mobile has wireless for
47:23
hims dirty and fifty dollars a month? that's
47:25

51:41
okay. Back to it. So the
51:43
day Answer Brewers releases video, another big you
51:45
to create. Her name's Todd in the Shadows
51:47
released a video of his own. taught is
51:50
an old school he tumor and he's been
51:52
making content since twenty Ten. He's a musical
51:54
be are so literally all of his other
51:56
videos or music reviews but he felt compelled
51:59
to release his. Own addition to the
52:01
Summers and Take out of Rock and
52:03
his was entitled i Fact Check the
52:05
Worse Video Essays On You Tube. It's
52:07
a mere one hour and forty two
52:09
minutes long, so it's that practically tic
52:11
toc legs and comparison diversity of And
52:13
it doesn't touch on the plagiarism, instead
52:15
he just focuses on everything So it
52:17
and got incorrect in his career as
52:19
a video essayist. So if you watch
52:21
one overly long You Tube video about James
52:23
Summers in this one is a lot
52:25
more entertaining. The bruises. Todd.
52:27
Systematically calls out thirty eight lies and
52:30
summers and videos. And then
52:32
he handily organizes them into an index
52:34
So Somerton says friend said. Gay
52:37
Porn an interstate. He
52:39
said the reason Hitler murdered Earth's Rom who
52:41
was a leader of the Nazi Party is
52:44
because he was sad to see. The
52:47
As: as was quote teeming
52:49
with homosexuals. He said Nazis
52:51
invented our current body centered.
52:53
Standards. He. Said Disney
52:55
Princesses are marketed funerals, And.
52:58
The claim that really pissed off. Somerton.
53:01
Said that gays gay activists in
53:03
the nineties didn't care about employment
53:05
discrimination and only cared about bourgeois
53:07
values like marriage. To do that,
53:09
Fan sites you convinced. The
53:11
speech by Doctor Evil in the first
53:14
Austin Powers of by his father would
53:16
make outrageous claims like a convicted The
53:18
Question ssssss businesses because it. Is that
53:20
is ridiculous of mark? Question is that
53:22
it was your marriage. Is Mister Question
53:24
or the Belgian Sheepdog city name's Chloe
53:27
Would webbed feet? I'm a pacifist, but
53:29
I'm pretty sure I'm willing to be
53:31
fact checked on this. That and Css
53:33
was teeming with a message to. The.
53:36
Cross Dresses and all of the Nazis
53:39
Did you read the increase libraries look
53:41
and that's a good thing. I'm a
53:43
bit of an abundance of Nazi sick.
53:46
A lot of. Lot of drugs like
53:48
it. They debuted at least, which is about
53:50
the way that these amphetamines and other things
53:52
hidden away. I'm sure they're willing to m
53:54
such things that we now gifted children who
53:56
fidget too much and school that was started
53:58
by the Nazis. I'm intrigued by gay porn
54:01
inventing Skype. However, I guess it's a bit like one
54:03
of the season as A B C Max. B M
54:05
B C L War supposedly was decided by
54:07
the the Poland was on Pc or tapes
54:09
right? so I might I believe that night
54:11
crop of that but I'm I'm glad that
54:13
someone is doing important fact checking him at
54:16
the number of homosexual. This is God's work.
54:18
Okay, so here's a clip from The City of
54:20
The First voice your here and start in the
54:22
shadows and his repeating a disclaimer. Submergence Gay
54:24
rights activists in the nineties Worth
54:26
fighting against employment discrimination, the battles
54:29
that rose out of the Aids
54:31
epidemic. For. Gay people.
54:34
Were. Access To Marriage and Military
54:36
Service When once the Queer community
54:38
was focused on creating the best
54:40
art and living lives worth telling
54:43
stories about. The. Nineteen
54:45
nineties brought on a new goal. How
54:49
best to fit in? So. Many
54:51
of the gays left alive once the
54:53
Clinton administration came into being. Work to
54:55
be frank, The. Boring
54:57
ones. The gays who knew nobody and
55:00
who nobody knew. And
55:02
they rose to the top of the community and
55:04
therefore, their priorities rose to the top of the
55:06
community as well. And
55:09
what are they want? Apparently.
55:12
They. Wanted to join the army and have big gay
55:14
weddings. General. Employment
55:16
nondiscrimination wasn't all that important to
55:18
them, making sexuality and gender identity
55:21
a protected class along with sex,
55:23
race, and religion wasn't that important
55:25
to them. They.
55:27
Want his marriage and military.
55:30
Because. They were the good gaze. Not.
55:33
The Naughty Gaze who are
55:35
sleeping around and dying of
55:37
Aids know the poor gays
55:39
who couldn't make political contributions.
55:42
They. Were the gays with families
55:44
and commitments, ceremonies and office jobs
55:46
and houses? Hoo
55:48
Boy! This was the first claim
55:50
that really got my attention as
55:53
the entire reason why I watch
55:55
the rest of his stuff disregarding.
55:58
Whatever. Else you want to say about a thousand. Yes,
56:01
Gay activists were absolutely fighting against
56:03
employment discrimination and for protected status
56:06
for sexuality. Those were the fights
56:08
of the nineties. I heard about
56:10
that shit all the time. There
56:12
was a big giant movie about
56:15
it. During the nineties alone, Lgbt
56:17
activists got employee protections pass in
56:19
seventeen states, as well as an
56:21
executive order from President Clinton name
56:24
nice, Ninety Eight protecting them on
56:26
a federal level due to pressure
56:28
from gay organizations. And I'm. This
56:31
is drifting from pure fact checking a tiny
56:33
bit. but it is not true that marriage
56:35
and military service was only a goal for
56:37
rich, conservative gays. Rich. People don't
56:39
join the military. Rich. People can
56:42
hire lawyers to write civil union contract
56:44
in lieu of mirrors protection or I I
56:46
can't move. Recent movie it was made
56:48
about game time for Texans. Philadelphia,
56:51
With oh that was yeah. Okay the thing that's
56:53
funny to me about the is well. America was
56:55
making very weighty films about m the Aids
56:57
crisis but we ask him Britain is Chris
56:59
Marks making an city? Have you seen the
57:01
kit from the day. To day where he does a
57:03
fake talk. Sites and it's people talking about that,
57:05
their experiences with with Aids and the guy talks
57:08
about it and then he reveals that he got
57:10
it from gay Sex of the Huskers know. You
57:12
got bad. Eight. Months
57:14
at a seat. On to us. It's
57:17
yeah. Anyway, So was it
57:19
was nowhere near as as where the content. that
57:22
all that felt like as the of. Them. Summit
57:24
and suffer a kind of like a personal attack
57:26
on Andrew Sullivan. Basically the. Same
57:29
sweet as his thirties. Yeah except
57:31
Andrew is find an Andrew has
57:33
Aids is didn't die of ads
57:35
that yes the fun Rc Rnc
57:37
days died of Aids and so
57:39
that's why we have gay marriages
57:41
that of day or these and
57:43
and Taught in the shadows. He
57:45
doesn't explain that. Someone's only source
57:47
for this rather significant claim that
57:49
he's making is a single quotes
57:52
from France Leave a Lads. Who
57:54
said, I'll paraphrase hear? The.
57:56
First people who died of Aids that late alive.
57:58
They were the great art. The ones
58:00
who are left with a boring ones but the
58:02
thing is is causing a shout shout as points
58:04
out. Shouldn't. I'm a policy or
58:07
even a fight for gay rights. She was
58:09
talking about the audience for cultural events, specifically
58:11
the New York belay. Plus, she's friendly village
58:13
she's She's like she talks a lot of
58:15
shit. She rambles, that's what she does. Yeah,
58:17
I just I think there was. It's underlying.
58:19
There was a good point know which was
58:21
about. The fact that the Gay rights movement find
58:23
a certain conservatism an Alliance building was a great
58:25
way to achieve that aims right round the know
58:27
if we want to smash the nuclear family in
58:29
her death and. It was
58:32
kind of like know when I would come later
58:34
when normal and just like. You I'm what we
58:36
want to do is I have normal relationships
58:38
and where we go will hotdogs together and
58:40
you know by cutlery. If it, it
58:42
was incredibly successful. it actually worked
58:44
right. Until after the second big
58:47
video attack on Summer Ten, the
58:49
floodgates opened. Everyone wanted a
58:51
slice of the action. Jesse Gender,
58:53
the creator that Somerton had a
58:55
beef with. about nebula that video
58:57
platform. She popped up again.
58:59
She said that she'd invited him to
59:01
join a discord with Nebula folks to
59:03
discuss whatever issues he had with them
59:05
and he never did. and he never
59:08
contacted them. And she said on quarter
59:10
twelve he just wanted to play the
59:12
victim and earlier. Remember when I said
59:14
that James complain on after he got
59:16
dog pile for that bad tweet about
59:18
trips the prostitutes princesses mental health He
59:20
said he lost money on p Three
59:22
On while a guy named Dan Olson
59:24
who runs a You Tube channel called
59:26
Folding Ideas. He did a long twitter
59:28
thread accusing. James of lying about his
59:30
patriarch figures to griff money from his
59:32
followers. that thread.fifteen thousand lakes so people
59:34
were just they were loving this. This
59:36
was like the party of the century
59:38
if I think boring. From a computer is
59:40
bad and I don't encourage him. The only. Thing is
59:43
actually kind of victimless crime, but it is.
59:45
There is a kind of com. Your results
59:47
of the whole point is to kind of
59:49
raise the bar of of human knowledge of
59:51
making better informed. Was there any actual individual
59:53
writers that got ripped off by him? Yes,
59:56
one of those was a former rocks
59:58
writer Caitlin Burns close. Personal friend
1:00:00
of Jesse's So she said on Twitter
1:00:02
that he lifted passages of a bad
1:00:04
article that she wrote on transmitted Jk
1:00:07
Rowling for his bad video on transmit
1:00:09
as she came rolling. And that does
1:00:11
seem to be true. That thing about
1:00:13
Rupert Murdoch is Sheila Jeffreys that I
1:00:15
mention and you're like what the fuck
1:00:17
was that she she tricks from Caitlin
1:00:19
Bird. she just hates Australian. Compare the
1:00:21
business, the Us and Uk brass probably
1:00:23
mostly. You got a writer named Get
1:00:26
A Jackson also published a blog post
1:00:28
titled please Stop Asking Me To Jitsu.
1:00:30
James Summer Ten he apparently read verbatim
1:00:32
from an article that she wrote for
1:00:34
Vice on Attack of the Day and
1:00:36
and that included quotes that she got
1:00:38
from academics and other sources He's he
1:00:40
did plagiarize like that is It is
1:00:42
very well documented. Some really good question
1:00:44
there because one of the problems I
1:00:46
have with Internet debate, napping and Internet
1:00:48
disgusting. So video. Based in order, based
1:00:50
is it's really taught to cite sources and
1:00:52
stop and. And people to sort of a things and
1:00:55
they seem. Very beginning plausible and this a
1:00:57
charismatic innocent on my Bbc series A
1:00:59
New Gurus was all about. With that,
1:01:01
we just like to listen to attractive,
1:01:03
interesting people chat shit. And they
1:01:05
don't. You know it just has to flow verse in
1:01:07
this kind of wave of discourse. It's not like reading
1:01:09
an academic. Article where everything is very careful and
1:01:11
fall a good academic a score of these Kaplan
1:01:13
so some reference. That general send it
1:01:15
is really hard to put. I can't imagine what you
1:01:17
tube. Video with footnotes would kind
1:01:20
of looks like. Exactly. I guess there are
1:01:22
some at the way. I mean even a podcast.
1:01:24
I mean we do a ton of research. We
1:01:26
do tons of research for these of as as
1:01:28
I know it doesn't sound like about we actually
1:01:30
do it on a research and we try to
1:01:32
be good about putting our sources in the show.
1:01:34
Notes: But. It there
1:01:36
isn't awkwardness a belt. Doing
1:01:39
citations on a podcast or video the
1:01:41
way that even footnote tax is just
1:01:43
much less awkward. That said, he, in
1:01:45
some cases he was reading verbatim from
1:01:48
people's. Articles that eminence beyond cheeky. I mean, that's
1:01:50
about point, right? I, you know, I think I
1:01:52
think there's a real promise, haven't caught. But we
1:01:54
get people are at the top end and they
1:01:56
produce such a huge volume of work and they
1:01:58
do it by chewing up. Paris sighting of
1:02:01
the work of if you're much less
1:02:03
well rewarded in well paid and that
1:02:05
rabid. Is. Unjust. The and.
1:02:07
I think that is the thing that really pisses people
1:02:09
off about this plus state. You know they threw in
1:02:11
that most of the people he was ripping. Content.
1:02:13
Off of work. Queer. Marginalized Leveller. Strange
1:02:15
that there were trans woman of color
1:02:18
in. There is also an issue with
1:02:20
money. So one of his alleged victims
1:02:22
was a duo that goes by the
1:02:24
name the a couple of this is
1:02:26
a married couple that doesn't fox. their
1:02:28
names are Courtney and Race And on
1:02:30
December thirteenth they publish a podcast called
1:02:32
We Were Personally Victimized by James Summers.
1:02:34
It's the personally. Victimized. the I think
1:02:36
makes it to deliberately sit to the level
1:02:39
of all right was that we would impose
1:02:41
the because of a class action suit says
1:02:43
no us. His family had
1:02:45
this as on the things I think
1:02:47
people twentieth time will it back on
1:02:50
it really be is like carbon dating
1:02:52
they'll be mentally or that came from
1:02:54
the twenty twenty three. So what happened
1:02:56
is at an early twenty twenty two
1:02:58
summers and launched an Indigo campaign of
1:03:00
still fundraising came campaign for telos eating
1:03:02
a laser that tillers pictures healers it's
1:03:04
ancient Greek katie. The
1:03:07
studio he was standing that would make a
1:03:09
Lgbt sobs. Is that how you say? Sagarin
1:03:11
Green Siblings I can't tell ya. the Jesus,
1:03:13
the City of. Knowledge. She said corporate,
1:03:16
I know if. It's
1:03:18
so this couple korea growth they
1:03:20
got excited about this because they
1:03:22
think a sexual don't get enough
1:03:24
representation. I guess what to do
1:03:26
they not what children says that's
1:03:28
all a sexual and apparently they
1:03:30
think I think I'd I mean
1:03:33
a here at so I go
1:03:35
past now I'm London Bridge station.
1:03:37
Clad it was college sides on his got one that
1:03:39
got the symbol pie on it which I genuinely thought
1:03:41
was pop up his take. The
1:03:43
ferry flag and like the ice and slices.
1:03:45
Of this effect. but I just I.
1:03:48
I just feel like be asexual pride
1:03:50
has been put on as to make
1:03:52
me turn into a reactionary blow. Aren't
1:03:54
know, I. Don't want to be somebody sitting
1:03:56
on twitter going you don't have sex know
1:03:58
but skull being married. Like
1:04:01
is that when northern Club comedian from the
1:04:03
nineteen seventies. but come on it's not a
1:04:05
struggle. If you don't want think that's fine.
1:04:07
but I don't need to hear about insights
1:04:09
hunt boring of hearing about people's effect size
1:04:11
that the new about my lack of I
1:04:13
although I absolutely hate Saxon in movies I
1:04:15
don't like the sound of the kissing it's
1:04:18
like to me it's like hearing somebody to
1:04:20
eliott he that paid it actually hit it
1:04:22
at so I actually do think there should
1:04:24
be more a sexual rep representation of movies
1:04:26
that were wouldn't have other watches. Sexy. Anyway,
1:04:29
I was poor things at the retailers
1:04:31
and I strongly recommend stay away from
1:04:33
that fell I I. I lasted ninety
1:04:35
seconds. I didn't even get to the
1:04:37
sex part, I just turned it off
1:04:39
because it was a black and white
1:04:41
and be rt right? Okay, I mean.
1:04:45
Yeah, it wasn't. Quite quite three animals have been sewn
1:04:47
together. You might have like that, but you wouldn't have like that.
1:04:49
I wish you guys I work in a brothel. That would have
1:04:51
been. Know you know my dad apparently
1:04:53
when he was courting my mother is. To see what
1:04:55
make them go whenever they must be some people kissing
1:04:57
on screen cinema which receive said on guess. At the
1:04:59
end of people kissing he would make this noisy. Suffered.
1:05:03
In a that it's. A
1:05:05
mysterious Have they been married for
1:05:07
like six years? I digress. Assist
1:05:10
six lay. So much about use.
1:05:13
Okay so they wanted to support this
1:05:16
because they think like for in their
1:05:18
mid their brains as a couple they
1:05:20
think that that counts as queer. They.
1:05:23
Talk to James and answers. He wrote
1:05:25
intended to represent a sexual from hire a
1:05:27
Sexual as part of this film production thing,
1:05:29
and he suggests Gore's a sexual or queer
1:05:32
or whatever. So they decided to join his
1:05:34
Indigo campaign at the highest level, which
1:05:36
would have gotten them. Executive producer credits: Advanced
1:05:38
Greetings Merge They could have a T shirt
1:05:41
that says i don't I thought it and
1:05:43
they were about to get him twelve
1:05:45
hundred dollars And this is what happens next.
1:05:47
You remember what I said to you. This
1:05:49
is what extra embarrassing do you remember what
1:05:52
I said to. You. Before I click the button,
1:05:54
In vague terms, but I have the feeling
1:05:56
that it's burned into your brain a lot
1:05:59
more clearly. I. Looked over to
1:06:01
you and I said are
1:06:03
we really about to give
1:06:05
vs much money to with
1:06:07
pets white guy that we
1:06:09
do not. Know personally. And.
1:06:11
We had a final little like if
1:06:14
it's for the a community is it
1:06:16
helps us if we can get several
1:06:18
bit the representation out there it'll have
1:06:21
been worth it but I there was
1:06:23
There is a voice in the back
1:06:25
of my head is that was shaming
1:06:28
me the boys in the back of
1:06:30
my head with they don't you dare
1:06:32
give this much money to a dude
1:06:35
that you don't even know He did
1:06:37
not even a thing itself like that
1:06:39
voices telling me that end I ignored.
1:06:42
Those alarm bells And that is why this. Is
1:06:44
so embarrassed I say no to

be by Do Now Really Be

1:06:59
I'm sorry this is terrible. I'm attacking my

1:07:06
They. Decided need. To.

1:07:11
To know they did Mister Trump they did. I write
1:07:13
a case in which essentially the money to send that

1:07:17

1:07:37
sorry. That that that switch to my. Siri.
1:07:42
I swear I have an act activated when
1:07:44
I took about both us and. Set Piece
1:07:46
Carry on. There's the of their so concerned
1:07:48
about giving money to a white guy. Like.
1:07:51
Lewinsky screens that these a white guy live
1:07:53
race. Would you guess that these two people
1:07:55
are one of whom as a male? What
1:07:57
does? Guess. I can eighty. I mean that.
1:08:01
Thank you know he moink the Canadian. A lot
1:08:03
of people in this area been saying eat By
1:08:05
the way I just as for so little my
1:08:07
stereotypes by Canadians of enduring. Mess. Decide
1:08:10
where I put a photo in the
1:08:12
nodes. tell him freezes feather. Ah,
1:08:18
If he he he. Ah,
1:08:20
so I'm They are just
1:08:22
as vampires. Ah and. It
1:08:24
which is weird because vampires or the sexiest
1:08:26
of the goal vampires love. To bang.
1:08:28
I've seen tree bloody, the come out
1:08:31
them am unable to. The whole idea
1:08:33
of vampirism like exchanging fluids is a
1:08:35
metaphor for sex anyway. Let's. Not
1:08:38
take well with them but they have no
1:08:40
any vampires with a Victorian vampires say she's
1:08:42
in a kind them from a big poofy.
1:08:44
Hair and and a course in a
1:08:46
bustle. He's. Got the classic season I
1:08:48
t long hair waistcoat, top hat,
1:08:53
And they mustn't let my eyeliner on the
1:08:55
city. I probably go of within quite well.
1:08:58
Like I mentioned, Carlo said interesting com and
1:09:00
not sex as it had them since. Innocence
1:09:02
in comments. And out what race with you say
1:09:04
the sewer of the say. What I mean. Like
1:09:07
the wide open recall a size. Of they
1:09:10
are Dos Edu a proud of
1:09:12
themselves. Why? We go from. There
1:09:15
is there white people in white face. Is
1:09:18
sixty? That's disgusting. Anyway, so they
1:09:20
don't need donated twelve hundred dollars in
1:09:22
total. James raise about sixty five thousand
1:09:24
dollars for this company. He produced nothing
1:09:26
and according to the Indigo though page,
1:09:28
it took him eighteen months to even
1:09:30
incorporate the company. Maybe it's harder to
1:09:32
do in Canada on church and as
1:09:34
court he said he didn't update his
1:09:36
backers for fourteen months At this obviously
1:09:38
lead to a lot of questions from
1:09:40
his supporters. Like the top comment on
1:09:43
his Inigo Pages quote, stop hiding like
1:09:45
a coward, Say so you've done refund
1:09:47
all of us who supported you under
1:09:49
false. Pretenses including on p, three on.
1:09:51
There's. Also quote give us back our money
1:09:53
scammer That's in all caps and okay
1:09:55
it looks like the jig is up
1:09:57
time issue refunds and my personal favorites.
1:10:00
Do. You plan on featuring any transform characters in
1:10:02
your projects are not one, but many of
1:10:04
my close friends or than they often discuss are
1:10:06
underrepresented. They are agree spaces the media but
1:10:08
mostly see Love Him for reports. I mean as
1:10:11
demonstrated. By the poor quality, nice
1:10:13
baseless been both poems there was
1:10:15
getting eighty five as man's neck
1:10:17
cancer discuss his money. It's not
1:10:20
that high he really stick to. Could have just got
1:10:22
someone. On camera reading a terrible poem about being
1:10:24
a trans them and that would technically counted. I
1:10:26
knew I was expecting that he was gonna make
1:10:28
in. The new
1:10:30
Poor Things Or even though the new
1:10:33
Titanic Gay? Titanic? He could have had. Court
1:10:35
and recording race could have been on camera. not
1:10:38
fucking. Sick say you buy
1:10:40
it being Victorian. Go sexual. Porn
1:10:42
emphasis on that would have been fine. Like people were not
1:10:44
backing this because of the presumed call. This event put no
1:10:46
backing it because they thought it was part of a political.
1:10:48
Project by endorsed a knight. Frank be
1:10:50
is is laziness of him know to
1:10:52
take advantage but by phoning in the
1:10:54
absolute minimum that he could raise. His
1:10:56
at least a few updates and the other thing
1:10:59
is this is Canada where they actually fund artist
1:11:01
based on how marginalize they are and so I
1:11:03
feel like he didn't even need to do the
1:11:05
indigo though he said a guy this taxpayer funded
1:11:07
he really miss. A trip by not pretending that
1:11:09
he was it. Am a first nations person I've
1:11:11
been, so I mean empathic. Great piece of money.
1:11:13
You're from what I mean when you look into
1:11:15
it. The number for tendencies. Extreme to
1:11:17
until I've just had a sir. But
1:11:19
to Indian citizens whose mother claim that
1:11:21
they were Native American? just rinse money
1:11:23
and stuff. I think it's possible that there
1:11:25
are no actual Native Americans. Are there is
1:11:27
one academic or kim told by he
1:11:29
gets crazy and anything I think she
1:11:32
may be the only his own associations
1:11:34
person. In Canada is her and the woman who
1:11:36
is who is exposing the Britain the ants although maybe
1:11:38
she's a pretend the into that would be quite a
1:11:40
twist of with it but that is kind of classic.
1:11:42
Story Those those people. Are the
1:11:44
ones who most in a Jessica
1:11:46
a bumbling? Remember how necessary I
1:11:48
i minus her as a senate
1:11:50
to basically Kruger like to answer
1:11:52
yes or we believing. That this in
1:11:55
and this guy is doing what he's accused
1:11:57
of doing so. I think the allegations
1:11:59
that people. Like H Bomber guy and
1:12:01
taught in the shadows looked into or true I
1:12:03
think the a couple I think that stuff through
1:12:05
a mean you can see on the Indigo Go
1:12:07
campaign. he didn't do anything with this money. Early
1:12:09
seat stadium but it doesn't have the money like
1:12:11
sixty five thousand. Ours is obviously not enough money
1:12:13
to create a film studio, but he didn't. Communicate.
1:12:17
Well, with whatever he was dealing
1:12:19
with the money, I'm not sure
1:12:21
if he intentionally ripped off his
1:12:23
patrons and supporters are, if he's
1:12:25
just bad giving up dates. but
1:12:27
as with all internet drama, this
1:12:29
one did shifted mutate somewhat so
1:12:31
like one sub stacker posted about
1:12:34
a blog speculating that this whole
1:12:36
incident had been a coordinated take
1:12:38
down by Nebula to destroy this
1:12:40
project to Los Pictures missing their
1:12:42
own pillow. Still a lot of
1:12:44
very speculative, but Somerton. Really did
1:12:46
not seem to have a defenders and his
1:12:48
own co writer neck her got. He initially
1:12:50
claimed that he wasn't involved in the plagiarism
1:12:52
because he didn't do any the research and
1:12:54
then he made a public statement announcing that
1:12:56
he would no longer work with them are
1:12:58
dead and that the money donated for the
1:13:00
Indigo there should be returned. So did some
1:13:02
it's and do. While those advice to the
1:13:05
during prices pr which is just not same
1:13:07
thing and Karen is completely normal or did
1:13:09
he freaking eve freak out. So he for
1:13:12
she deleted all his You Tube videos,
1:13:14
his twitter account, his discord and is
1:13:16
Petri on account. And then on December
1:13:18
twenty first he released a fearful apology
1:13:20
video. It's only a half hour long
1:13:22
as is by far the shortest video
1:13:24
and the entire saga. but it's definitely
1:13:26
the hardest one to watch. So he
1:13:28
starts a video crying and saying that
1:13:30
he just got all the hospital after
1:13:32
being. Being treated for suicidal ideation.
1:13:34
I'm not to make you watch that part,
1:13:36
but I do want you to listen to
1:13:38
his apology. I want to
1:13:40
say that I'm. Really?
1:13:43
Really sorry. Really? Really?
1:13:46
Sword. Home.
1:13:54
Videos crediting people on.
1:14:02
Related videos you don't way. Into
1:14:06
the opening titles thing am.
1:14:10
I tried to. Put. Like this
1:14:12
is based on. X
1:14:14
is. This person's
1:14:16
research through this person's but I
1:14:18
know. I I know now that
1:14:20
that wasn't. I wasn't enough away
1:14:23
that okay that is hard to listen to
1:14:25
him because he doesn't. He said the
1:14:27
hesitant say. Of and the long
1:14:29
silences do make it sound very credible. I
1:14:31
mean he could be the wants him up
1:14:33
to a best actor but it is not
1:14:35
to sell Jam a tithing look at me
1:14:38
performance of Sarin as he Genovese has got
1:14:40
destroyed by it. So yes it did. That
1:14:42
make people. Laugh to to change the
1:14:44
narrative at all. Not at all. The
1:14:47
general consensus was that this is a
1:14:49
paint by numbers apology video. We've all
1:14:51
seen them a thousand times of
1:14:53
for James do Better People did not
1:14:56
accept his apology So like a tick
1:14:58
tock her name Carter Caltech he
1:15:00
made a now deleted that video asking
1:15:02
should we treat James Somerton with more
1:15:05
empathy and the answer was no
1:15:07
So yeah. So after the negative response
1:15:09
to this apology video Summer send deleted
1:15:11
it and he disappeared. From the internet
1:15:13
for two months that on February twenty six
1:15:16
he finally broke his silence for the second
1:15:18
apology video. This one is called a measured
1:15:20
response. It's much more highly produce and it
1:15:22
begins with the content warning for discussion of
1:15:24
self harm. So this is the beginning of
1:15:26
it. Ah, just a disclosure.
1:15:28
This video is monetized, but revenue
1:15:31
from it will be sent along
1:15:33
to H Bomber Guys team to
1:15:35
be dispersed to the people whose
1:15:37
work I plagiarized. Ah,
1:15:39
if his team won't accept it
1:15:42
all, be making monthly donations to
1:15:44
Wikipedia and Trans Lifeline going forward.
1:15:46
You may have also noticed that
1:15:48
a few of my past videos
1:15:50
have gone up on the channel
1:15:52
again and revenue from those as
1:15:55
well will also be sent along
1:15:57
with the revenue from this video
1:15:59
Said. In a Mate monthly, The Nation's
1:16:01
to Wikipedia and Trans Lifeline Soda Fascinating. That
1:16:03
is the kind of. Like a
1:16:05
medieval times is that a Pendleton sister the Pope the
1:16:08
he just said of have to it but it's. Translates
1:16:10
license I'd sign of all the charities.
1:16:12
I embassy run being Gary ruins the Acer
1:16:14
new be that one. An unlit. it
1:16:16
doesn't really. Other I do think they're I
1:16:18
do think they aren't. They got rid of
1:16:20
the embezzlers and they did. They discover that
1:16:22
I'm unless from Feel lawyers and but you're
1:16:25
right. This on. yes I'm American. I deserve
1:16:27
it out if one is is got the
1:16:29
kind of pulled. Focus and he is not
1:16:31
talking much more. Kind. Of fluently
1:16:33
I guess isn't. Yet it's not
1:16:35
as the wrong. It's not Israel and the
1:16:37
whole like our money ties this assessment by
1:16:39
it's I think it's really difficult. And be
1:16:42
bring the situation because he obviously you do
1:16:44
have to think about incredibly kathy however these
1:16:46
gonna be received but. Also, the very act
1:16:48
of that until he met it makes you
1:16:50
sound less innocent in a weird way. It
1:16:52
makes you so manipulative because you are you
1:16:54
trying to anticipate response. and it's not. And
1:16:56
men so absurd. But it does make you
1:16:58
send less. Authentic I guess.
1:17:00
Yeah, So he goes on to
1:17:02
say he said the last month's personally
1:17:04
apologizing to everyone he plagiarized. He also
1:17:07
apologizes to his audience for being a
1:17:09
bad representative of the queer community. I
1:17:11
will accept his apology for that. I
1:17:13
personally enjoy this part. I'm
1:17:15
assists weights gay man. No.
1:17:18
Matter how much, I try to be a
1:17:20
good spokesperson. I.
1:17:23
Can never really truly understand the
1:17:25
life experiences of other far more
1:17:27
put upon members of the queer
1:17:30
community. Okay, so this is more Now he's.
1:17:32
Gone into the kind of classic pro forma.
1:17:36
In there are how with lived experience how
1:17:38
could I know this White gay. Yeah, so
1:17:40
we get up and national Privilege disclaimer
1:17:42
from a guy who apparently ended up
1:17:44
in the hospital because he was gonna
1:17:46
kill himself after a giant swath of
1:17:48
the internet decided that he was a
1:17:51
villa because he was a player s
1:17:53
but still. He's got a
1:17:55
better than Threads creators of color and he
1:17:57
also claims that memory issues due to a
1:17:59
child the head injury at Ellen how would
1:18:02
you guess the sun went down. In
1:18:05
a the cream of a habit in a never
1:18:07
explained never complain and I just think that is
1:18:09
seen as yourself saying that the some reason why
1:18:12
you've done this to us people who already. States
1:18:14
a lot of internet reputation on calling you
1:18:16
a bad person don't want to be made
1:18:18
failed to feel bad when it turned out
1:18:20
of actually because your childhood trauma or uber
1:18:22
health issues you near but he was ala
1:18:24
whatever it might bases. Had ambien? yeah
1:18:26
that that that would make. Them
1:18:28
look bad said angrily reacts.
1:18:31
So I'm guessing it went by and badly
1:18:33
I went down that very badly. But I
1:18:35
think that's a really good claiming. Sometimes people
1:18:37
do have extenuating like cake or and the
1:18:39
woman who wrote the Who wrote he was
1:18:41
like Good Reads bombing review Bombing with it
1:18:43
as shown in a few weeks ago. The
1:18:46
author the way other she came out later
1:18:48
and said that she was dealing with substance
1:18:50
abuse issues and having like essentially a psychotic
1:18:52
break. I. Guess I have no
1:18:54
idea if it's true or not but if
1:18:56
it is true with severe alcoholism and a
1:18:58
psychotic break make you do irrational things. yes
1:19:00
it that word looks at that it's at
1:19:02
it sort of is a very good excuse
1:19:05
but it doesn't matter or like tiny and
1:19:07
has bipolar rifle or it make you as
1:19:09
a new documentary coming. Out seen about John
1:19:11
Galliano if you members had a disappeared from
1:19:13
the fashion world after he was caught. same
1:19:15
terrible and semitic things well obviously piss out
1:19:17
with brain outside some cafe in Paris and
1:19:19
it's is thing as reading an interview by
1:19:21
the kind of guys made it and it's
1:19:23
he sought to blew up his life kind
1:19:25
of. It was only situations where
1:19:27
the stress was so much that you think
1:19:30
he suited. Did it? Self destructive, lazy, and
1:19:32
I mean I think that's quite a common
1:19:34
dynamic. The people get trapped in these situations
1:19:36
that some unbearable to them and they can't
1:19:38
find us has only begun to do with
1:19:40
incredibly risky things or sit stupid silly. Think.
1:19:42
People do that and relationships all the time. You
1:19:44
want to what you want out of you're you're
1:19:47
you're unhappy marriage, months and of the leading you
1:19:49
go and have an affair with your neighbor Whatever
1:19:51
right exactly and the end You don't have the
1:19:53
kind of courage to to do things you want
1:19:55
it, that humans on that decision to be taken
1:19:57
out of your hands exactly and that she has
1:19:59
had with. Relief to people when they
1:20:01
caught. like sometimes the mistakes people make
1:20:03
a so sloppy that you can't come
1:20:05
to any conclusion other than part of
1:20:07
illnesses. Someone else to stop this for
1:20:10
them. Yeah, Well, in this case,
1:20:12
people were looking for reasons to stay
1:20:14
mad and they sound one. So it
1:20:16
turns out that a lot of the
1:20:18
videos that each bomber guy makes have
1:20:21
the words and measured response in the
1:20:23
title. So like vaccines and Autism and
1:20:25
measured response. Climate Denial and measured response.
1:20:27
Flat Earth and measured response. And so
1:20:30
because James Summer Ten called the second
1:20:32
apology video a measured response, people immediately
1:20:34
started accusing him of plagiarizing. Whose.
1:20:36
Bomber Guy Harry Brewers city to do with. Plagiarism
1:20:39
accusations go. I find they start off
1:20:41
with a few headline things I kind
1:20:43
of reasonable are interesting and then people
1:20:45
start passing it down to the tiniest.
1:20:47
it'll level in it's in our eventually
1:20:49
tiny bits of speech the everybody's all
1:20:51
the time a kind of drafted in.
1:20:54
An eminent as to I mean this
1:20:56
to me this is calling his video
1:20:58
measured response is sort of a clever
1:21:00
allusion to the guy who called him
1:21:02
out, yet is also a problem. That happens
1:21:04
when in a you try and kind of yes
1:21:06
exactly you try reference something and people think it's
1:21:08
a lane. it's not. You been to my original
1:21:10
you thought that everybody would get that reference. Get
1:21:12
it? Yeah, So anyway, three
1:21:15
days after Summer Tins measured response when
1:21:17
online brewing sweetie to say that Somerton
1:21:19
hadn't gotten in touch with them about
1:21:21
setting him the revenue from the video.
1:21:23
so that didn't help matters at all.
1:21:25
And just like in the first round
1:21:28
of James Ghazi this time around, everyone
1:21:30
again wanted a piece of the gym
1:21:32
Somerton pie. There are dozens of response
1:21:34
real from Sig Bread sued name's to
1:21:36
tiny cloud chasers Vous old friend connoisseur
1:21:38
of goblin porn and admitted horse stick
1:21:40
Santa says he's one of the biggest
1:21:43
political streamers. He. Made. A response that he,
1:21:45
oh, that is an hour and forty eight
1:21:47
minutes of him analyzing the apology video. And
1:21:49
it includes lines like the problems with James
1:21:52
Summer Center, the same problems I have with
1:21:54
Generative A I, And he's just a narcissist.
1:21:56
That's it. He's just a narcissist, but he
1:21:59
didn't accidently li. First I
1:22:01
poured Fi on the swim. Unfortunately to
1:22:03
resume he an hour and forty eight
1:22:05
minute video calling someone else a narcissist.
1:22:08
These guys just an attention seeker that. So
1:22:11
that he will assess assess
1:22:13
sale. My lived through with
1:22:16
my powerful stallion energy ssssss.
1:22:19
So to apologies down both failed. Almost
1:22:21
nobody is the setting this guy. There
1:22:23
is one comment on the Vow sub
1:22:26
reddit suggesting that people leave Somerton alone
1:22:28
and and has one of vote So
1:22:30
at the beginning of March summers and
1:22:33
resurrected an old You Tube channel of
1:22:35
his and he tried to rebrand himself
1:22:37
as James of Telus. The
1:22:40
first video he really was about a queer
1:22:42
serial killer. Or the video did include and
1:22:44
full list of resources at the end. but
1:22:47
Harry Brewers is bomber guy. Noticed something about
1:22:49
that list of resources. he tweeted about it.
1:22:51
Helen Please a look in the look at
1:22:54
described as sweet James is really funny Video:
1:22:56
angry what for ethnicities this man's I can
1:22:58
do the him. To
1:23:00
get your current tyson is the skies. Canadian.
1:23:03
He does summer from your i know
1:23:05
a H bomber guy is he's British.
1:23:07
Words: it was British, his knee aca one
1:23:09
and him the cheeky cockney than. Game's
1:23:13
release. New video and it's pure can exist
1:23:15
sources which to step up at least make
1:23:17
the abundantly clear. He does lucy paraphrase
1:23:19
is by retreat Francisco I believe.
1:23:22
I've really the eyes of my be run. This
1:23:24
these strikes me as someone who went to public
1:23:26
school. Is that what you call private school? Yes
1:23:29
he's a you tube or a really posh. Private.
1:23:31
School is ironically public school. Yeah.
1:23:35
Yeah, sorry, I can't. I mean, I bet.
1:23:37
Unfortunately, I went to private school which. Is
1:23:40
edge of my celsius. Adam said associating. See
1:23:42
Twelve Up says the Pocus. I listen to
1:23:44
covering a murder and ask them at the
1:23:47
podcast. Is covering this murder? That. Said
1:23:49
congratulations Sir James on his known
1:23:51
plagiarized. Video A Damn. Yeah.
1:23:53
So he has a screenshot here
1:23:55
from the you Tube video and
1:23:57
it is literally twelve episodes. A
1:24:01
single podcast and then an article
1:24:03
about the podcast. So once again,
1:24:05
the realize was a total failure.
1:24:07
James put up a few more
1:24:09
videos, including one called the Queer
1:24:12
Normality of Bob's Burgers and the
1:24:14
comments are universally negative on all
1:24:16
of them. Then, on March fourth,
1:24:18
shame Summers and posted this on
1:24:20
twitter. Helen, please read: Oh, and
1:24:23
this is when someone's written something
1:24:25
on. The Notes: which is never a good
1:24:27
sign. Night Mode. Yeah, Night Mode. If
1:24:30
is messages lie, that means I scheduled it
1:24:32
before ending things. I have video schedule to
1:24:34
drive the next couple of days. Nothing new.
1:24:36
I just wanted knicks portfolio of work to
1:24:39
be available. I've left directions or any money
1:24:41
from those videos be donated to the Canadian
1:24:43
Association for Suicide Prevention. They try very hard
1:24:45
to pull me back from the simply no
1:24:47
life. Many more I've lost everything. my only
1:24:49
friend, my livelihood, my name and it's all
1:24:52
my fault. The world will be a little
1:24:54
bit better off now. Good boy. Right after
1:24:56
that his Twitter account was deactivated. I
1:24:58
mean, that's. I
1:25:01
mean the really awful thing is, I've been on twitter long.
1:25:03
Enough now that I've seen a couple
1:25:05
of suicide notes are are are genuinely
1:25:07
real inherently evil A to find out
1:25:09
the person has in fact died. And
1:25:11
it's really difficult because. You
1:25:14
see these kinda traipsing suicide notes? A lot of
1:25:16
the kind of yeah either that neither. Will be
1:25:18
sorry or the kind of sinus doorbell to
1:25:20
say self pitying but the kind of you
1:25:22
know it's sort of. I'm just I'm leaving.
1:25:25
I'm leaving you With this we have. This
1:25:27
will be my final. Testament on Earth and
1:25:29
they're very hard to read because of as
1:25:31
he says I did. Devastating and. It
1:25:33
doesn't mean anything and a new just
1:25:35
you want to tell people that I
1:25:37
shouldn't right things like this because it's
1:25:39
new subs to freshly being alive. but.
1:25:41
I'm that have Been is pretty dark
1:25:44
grey and as of this recording nobody
1:25:46
can say for sure whether or not
1:25:48
James Somerton is actually dead so his
1:25:50
former co writer the Care about he
1:25:52
posted this on blue Sky quote right
1:25:54
now and to my knowledge there's nothing
1:25:56
to worry about with maybe will think
1:25:58
that this was saker som. Mistake. I
1:26:00
try to confirm this with the Toronto police,
1:26:02
I didn't get anywhere and in fact I'm
1:26:04
not even totally sure he lives in Toronto
1:26:06
so I might might have like been barking
1:26:08
up the wrong Canadian police stations, but it
1:26:10
started a whole new round of speculation and
1:26:12
finger pointing. So this has been a huge
1:26:14
story on Twitter on you tube on Tic
1:26:16
toc and one of the first you will
1:26:18
to respond to summer to and suicide note
1:26:20
was. Trigger. Warning Couples, let's
1:26:22
check that out. I think. The
1:26:25
situation speaks to same thing
1:26:27
that. I. And many
1:26:29
other people have long seen as
1:26:32
a problem with the internet in
1:26:34
general when people in a community
1:26:36
especially a marginalized community, we want
1:26:38
to hold them accountable. But the problem
1:26:40
is is that there. Are no actual
1:26:43
mechanisms for what accountability is supposed
1:26:45
to look like and everyone has
1:26:47
their own different and unique idea
1:26:50
of what accountability should be so
1:26:52
no one can actually true we
1:26:54
be happy and then a lot
1:26:57
of circumstances. What is leads to
1:26:59
is intense harassment campaigns. And
1:27:01
online scrutiny that last for years
1:27:03
and destroys careers without any true
1:27:05
way for people to redeem themselves
1:27:08
after the mistakes of they've made.
1:27:10
And when your livelihood is tied
1:27:12
to how much people like you
1:27:14
online, it can feel. Devastating.
1:27:17
Absolutely excruciating. We
1:27:19
painful and alienating.
1:27:22
To. Watch as you're getting ruthlessly
1:27:24
dragged on line by thousands.
1:27:26
And thousands of people if you have
1:27:29
existing. Mental health conditions. While you're
1:27:31
also dealing with this, it can
1:27:33
be a recipe for absolute disaster
1:27:35
as it has been many, many,
1:27:38
many times in the past. Okay,
1:27:40
so that was more empathetic from.
1:27:42
Castles. Than I expected. although I do like into
1:27:44
him Internet now says I'm The Way She had to
1:27:46
preface it by saying I've actually been saying. This for
1:27:49
very long time. Yeah, we just can't make the
1:27:51
observation you have to point out that you will
1:27:53
a loan Cassandra He said. He was for seen
1:27:55
this way and she also later in the and
1:27:57
the video says like not that I'm defending him.
1:28:00
You know you also have the make sure
1:28:02
that you're not defending the guy who might
1:28:04
be dead because he played her as a
1:28:06
high crime isn't that this is. However, this
1:28:08
is one of the rare cases will I
1:28:10
will say couples right and she did. She
1:28:12
goes on later to say yeah I can
1:28:14
feel be feel good to be part of
1:28:16
a mob when the not mom turns on
1:28:18
you know and will descend you and she
1:28:20
urges people to have more compassion. It was
1:28:22
very on couples leg or unfortunately for Couples
1:28:24
after putting this out people began attacking her
1:28:27
for monetizing the situation. So she defended herself
1:28:29
by saying she was. Hitting to trans
1:28:31
why blinds and then center. To subvert
1:28:33
the real winner winner here. Today
1:28:36
but really night was made by. Yeah.
1:28:40
So and from Wigan Cel there
1:28:42
are a few basic camps. When.
1:28:44
It comes to assigning blame here, as in
1:28:47
fact, summer sun is that the first campus
1:28:49
people who are blaming Harry Brewers H bomber.
1:28:51
He. Hasn't publicly said anything about this but
1:28:54
you can see these people in his
1:28:56
mentions on Twitter. Some people see him
1:28:58
as a huge hypocrite because he himself
1:29:00
is very woke he race all this
1:29:02
money for mermaids to talks about elevating marginalize
1:29:04
voices. and to his did his critics
1:29:06
that looks like hear his fans effectively
1:29:08
bully James Summer send a suicide Or
1:29:10
maybe the biggest name in this camp
1:29:12
is a very confusing figure Peter Coffin
1:29:14
of you run into him before he
1:29:16
vehicles. he's that you would think so
1:29:18
he would think so he tweeted if he
1:29:20
is that each bomb. Absolutely loved a
1:29:22
trojan killing him. This is ratio to
1:29:24
hell and back, but Peter Coffin. Is
1:29:27
strange for your. When I first heard
1:29:29
about him he was a classic male
1:29:31
feminist type. Very condescending, very woke went
1:29:34
by any all or they them pronouns.
1:29:36
Kanaan is non binary because he said
1:29:38
he was uncomfortable with his place in
1:29:40
their gender herky like use a tiny
1:29:43
guy. I can imagine lecturing a lesbian
1:29:45
about general preferences like that. Gonna die.
1:29:48
I. Haven't paid much attention to him
1:29:50
in recent years, but apparently he sucks
1:29:52
somewhat of a pivot because he's now
1:29:54
an example of the rare and I
1:29:57
woke they them. He's also Marxist Leninists
1:29:59
to appear. The now very critical of
1:30:01
identity politics and he's one of a
1:30:03
very small number of people who been
1:30:06
defending Somerton since that the original plagiarism
1:30:08
video. So back in December when this
1:30:10
first started, he posted an essay about
1:30:13
plagiarism that argues and short that rather
1:30:15
than looking at plagiarism as an individual
1:30:17
failing, we should look at it as
1:30:19
the byproduct of economic pressures. Something something
1:30:22
Late Capitalism hallmarks Workers of the World
1:30:24
United Center of Know. True, a
1:30:26
good point, well made. Mr.
1:30:31
I saw that suffers Camp H. Bomber guy did
1:30:33
it. The second kill are people
1:30:35
who are less sympathetic to somerton. Who
1:30:38
again might be dead. They. Think
1:30:40
that each bomber guys the real victim here.
1:30:42
So Helen, here's an example of that. Please
1:30:44
read his tweets from an account called Baucus
1:30:46
Limits. To be clear, if James I'm in
1:30:49
actually kills himself, I would just. Consider it
1:30:51
more be super manipulated behavior by
1:30:53
fundamental unrepentant Nasas. And all the my
1:30:55
I'm seeing Calgary towards H bomber guy who did nothing wrong
1:30:57
and is the real. Victims with such an action. I
1:31:00
really hope he doesn't disappoint because I'm just be
1:31:02
more shitty to start to abs and Opiates help
1:31:04
and in learns how to help people in a
1:31:06
real way. But suicide attempts successful not
1:31:08
aren't that suggested? Attempt to refrain himself as
1:31:10
a victim and his victims as is perfectly
1:31:12
cessnas right Killing yourself is a way of
1:31:15
river aiming yourself as a victim to know
1:31:17
it reminds you once. There was some person
1:31:19
who had a massive hatred of may and
1:31:21
meal was a bit with since one said.
1:31:24
Something that you should slap her and
1:31:26
she felt she probably just get me
1:31:28
done for social something. ssssss. At
1:31:32
this a white woman assess assess what
1:31:34
I care and complaining to the police
1:31:36
when someone assault cel. Bs.
1:31:40
And so that for editors, blame everyone
1:31:42
pointing fingers at each other and no
1:31:44
one is sure if this guy is
1:31:46
dead or not on a H Bomber
1:31:48
guy sub reddit cat low so that
1:31:50
says producer she said quote. I've
1:31:53
heard that James is currently alive and physically safe.
1:31:55
I do not know what his current mental state
1:31:57
is or what his next steps are, so my
1:31:59
hope is that. They're not dead and maybe he
1:32:01
will change his name on an M of the Ford.
1:32:03
I get a job at Disney Meet a Man. And
1:32:06
live in underserved life until someone recognizes him
1:32:08
and we get it through graham series out
1:32:10
of it. That is a while story and
1:32:12
I have to say the one question that
1:32:14
it leaves me with is what was their
1:32:16
real problem with him. The one question you
1:32:18
have isn't is he dead So I mean
1:32:20
like that. Let's not. let's say about like
1:32:22
one additional supplementary question I have sufficient you
1:32:24
know what I mean when you read through
1:32:26
the this and maybe I'm just single of
1:32:28
his cynical having been on the internet for
1:32:30
too long or in a basically get canceled
1:32:33
a kind of weird in some way or
1:32:35
people to stay. On like some I didn't if you've
1:32:37
him. Ever watch the Traitors for people to get
1:32:39
voted out earlier? Often people don't make eye contact
1:32:41
to recite a bit which from the people make
1:32:43
up all kinds of spurious reasons about why they
1:32:45
think they're a traitor and they can't trust them
1:32:47
and lovable bus. But it's actually just a kind
1:32:49
of it fundamentally and near the series. Can be
1:32:52
that, or they can be professional jealousy. or
1:32:54
they can be to lose the most marginalized
1:32:56
and emotionless pile. Or they can be Smurfit
1:32:58
syndrome. Right? Like with any rooms to be
1:33:00
one gay Disney you tube or and by
1:33:03
God it and gonna be may. Arms
1:33:05
and it is also is just I mean
1:33:07
couples. Careful set it. It's son to be
1:33:09
part of a mob. And. I think
1:33:12
there's probably a big element of that here.
1:33:14
I mean, you have How often is it
1:33:16
that the Internet can come together and say
1:33:18
this person altogether this person is bad and
1:33:21
have that not devolve into an argument about
1:33:23
how he's good Actually, because he had a
1:33:25
Peter Coffin was easily the only one defending
1:33:27
this guy. It was
1:33:30
like a uniting moments or something. So beautiful
1:33:32
about it, except that it ends with someone
1:33:34
possibly killing himself. Yeah, I think I can.
1:33:36
Totally. I can totally see that. I don't
1:33:38
know. It's all it is now. I wonder if I'm sure I
1:33:40
that definitely have that. Tendency by think now and
1:33:42
she gave I over index and the
1:33:45
other direction right which is I'm weirdly
1:33:47
sympathetic to like villains, child sex abuse
1:33:49
him. it's so. I mean genuinely really bad
1:33:51
people? because you think. God how awful would be
1:33:53
to have done them were absolute worst thing that
1:33:55
will never know and have any be ostracized by
1:33:57
everybody and actually. Some. Things are bad.
1:34:00
Should be punished for them and that's okay.
1:34:02
Three. But I mean as Enjoying Ronson pointed
1:34:04
this out in his book, he owed to
1:34:06
see them publicly shamed. The internet never gives
1:34:09
out the the right amount of punishment and
1:34:11
what he is accused as. Is
1:34:13
a misdemeanor. He is aclu accuse the
1:34:15
plagiarizing of ripping off articles and you
1:34:17
tube videos. That is a sin but
1:34:20
it is not a major said it
1:34:22
is a bad thing to do especially
1:34:24
if you're the president of of Harvard
1:34:26
but he's a semi successful. you two
1:34:28
were hidden dragon you like. Apparently
1:34:30
harmed people but he didn't hurt people. have that makes
1:34:32
any sense as a very good piece by Malcolm Gladwell.
1:34:34
In the New York Cronkite from like ten fifteen
1:34:36
years ago by a hurry basically doesn't pay. The
1:34:39
plagiarism is that big. A deal which is,
1:34:41
I'm. Raising. Taxes to
1:34:43
right but it's certainly true. like I don't
1:34:45
And. Screenwriting and one of things that people.
1:34:47
With the insists always is that screenwriter that your
1:34:49
best game plays been ripped off. Ah and
1:34:52
will they don't want to kind of give up. Their ideas. There
1:34:54
were people still them. And it's a
1:34:56
bit like there's no copyright in ideas and
1:34:58
it's the same thing that sometimes amateur writers.
1:35:00
Will set aside a com believe you've written about x
1:35:02
subject you know that was my thing and you you
1:35:04
have to be night. It's not it's not the idea
1:35:06
was even a beat to the I do it's the
1:35:09
it's the whole execution that is to think seen as
1:35:11
a bit in them the social network when he's like
1:35:13
he says to the. Winklevoss. You
1:35:15
know if you didn't vote if you the inventor
1:35:17
face but you did when vented facebook right? It's
1:35:19
not. It's not be idea, it's making the
1:35:21
idea work. Yeah, I'm an atheist. Truth and
1:35:23
in the certain if you look about last h
1:35:25
from a guy tweet about the kind of fact
1:35:28
this guy basically read it is just took a
1:35:30
bunch of poke. Awesome. An article that is there
1:35:32
is another way about which is aggregation him and
1:35:34
that happens all over the internet or not. Someone
1:35:36
that you know a bus or a half pay
1:35:39
store and Msn article or mean him. To
1:35:41
summon an even lower reaches of you know
1:35:43
tabloid website said of probably now using a
1:35:46
I to do that kind of stuff have
1:35:48
higher standards than than that. It's happening everywhere
1:35:50
and it's not right to make it right.
1:35:52
But it does mean that you can't kind
1:35:54
of say that someone's basically Josef Mengele for
1:35:56
during his. Yeah, I mean that's a really good
1:35:58
point. As I say about aggregate. Then it seems like
1:36:00
blogs basically ran on that for years. I think
1:36:03
a lot of it comes and she idea that
1:36:05
people are making money that they don't deserve. Yeah,
1:36:07
and I think that's the thing is all very
1:36:09
well to be like. In a we all live
1:36:11
in this kind of glories wonderland of said ideas
1:36:13
but when you do that and then somebody extract
1:36:16
face ideas and monetize you some it doesn't feel
1:36:18
fraternal until he to anymore I it feels. Like.
1:36:20
Like being a parasite and I wonder if that
1:36:23
was the kind of the feeling? This guy wasn't
1:36:25
one of them and he was kind of sucking.
1:36:27
Everybody else is ideas. I have a not playing
1:36:29
nice and not giving back. ah and just becoming
1:36:32
kind of famous about of the backs of other
1:36:34
people's work. That may been the fundamental kind of
1:36:36
sin that he misses. Cm. I mean, he did
1:36:38
utilize it wrong. But still or the punishment for
1:36:41
that is see not typically. Be death, the
1:36:43
punishment is Jess. Is that such.
1:36:50
As I if you're right wing seen that sort. Of us
1:36:52
every should be available to everybody s I
1:36:54
had helen any questions I hadn't that with
1:36:56
my mind I. By. I will. I would
1:36:58
like to find out that the he is ah he
1:37:00
is alive. I think that would be. A
1:37:03
nicer station, but I was a fee for him if that's
1:37:05
true, because. That would be worse and
1:37:07
people will feel that they've been hoodwinked. Even their
1:37:09
face gladly declare that they didn't believe. Anyway, they
1:37:11
will now think the he's minute to the easy
1:37:13
more minute primitive than before. It's. He, if
1:37:15
he didn't kill himself and people find out
1:37:17
that he didn't kill himself, he's gonna have
1:37:19
to kill himself, they will murder. For
1:37:23
