EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
20. Comment Chaos
[00:00:00] Welcome to comment, chaos, legends. How the bloody hell are you? I hope you are having a fabulous fabulous week. It is sunny here in Perth today, and I'm only telling you that because we've had so much rain. In Perth lately. I swear. It's just been rainy, rainy, rainy days nonstop, which is really cozy.
But anyway, I'm enjoying the sunshine today. Hope you're having a fabulous week. First of all, let's start this episode with an update. So last episode I mentioned. The notorious Andrew Tate and how I had put up a video clip of one of my guests mg, the real mg and how we had discussed Andrew Tate. And I put that clip up on all social media platforms. I remember last episode I mentioned to you that the clip was instantly pretty much taken down from Tik TOK, only out of Tik TOK, Instagram. Pinterest. X, which is Twitter and YouTube.
It was only removed off Tik TOK for hate speech. And I was so perplexed by that. Now it. I [00:01:00] didn't upset me or anything like that. It was more just that I actually wanted to understand why, because all it gave was like a link to. You know, the guidelines for tick talk and what's considered to be hate speech and how they protect minorities and blah, blah, blah. Nothing was said that was hateful in that video.
I played the video in the last comment, chaos episodes, if you haven't listened to that one after this one, go and have a lesson, but basically I just raised the question to em, and I was like, what are your thoughts on him? And she said, she's undecided. But as she used to be a very hardcore feminist, she used to not like him.
This is me paraphrasing, but now she understands a bit more of what he says. That's literally pretty much the nutshell of the video and it was removed for hate speech. So then I thought let's test this theory. And I was like, I'm gonna put another video up there. Which was a clip from the last comment chaos episode. Where again, just the name Andrew Tate was mentioned in the video.
I did not mention any of his philosophies on life.
I did not mention anything. He [00:02:00] said, I basically said in the video, what are your thoughts like to the audience? What are your thoughts on Andrew tape? Whether you love him or you hate him? What are your thoughts on him? Again, removed only from TechTalk for hate speech. And so I have confirmed it guys.
We are not allowed to speak about Andrew Tate on TechTalk. His name is obviously being flagged as something you are not allowed to discuss. And I guess it's their way of trying to stop, you know, clips of his from being populated on the app because they really don't like him. Uh, all the issue I have with that.
And it's not like it upsets me or anything. Well, it's frustrating. It is frustrating because I think we should be allowed to talk about anything. I think we should be large talk about even things that are considered minority groups, which he's not, but, you know, Social social justice movements. I think we should be allowed to speak about public figures.
I think we should be allowed to speak about the political landscape and media and so much like political stuff, everything. I think we should be allowed to discuss it, but yes, I [00:03:00] think there should be some sort of framework that, you know, stops it from getting into the realms of being hateful. But in saying that. I think that if we encourage. Self authority.
Self-trust. Insert in a society in every single individual. Then it combats the need to have those sorts of algorithms in place that, you know, flags things as hate speech because instead the person that is. Basically digesting that information can make a decision for themselves as to whether they want to continue watching it or not.
Like isn't that just being a grown-ass at all. So I don't like the fact that it is squashing speech and freedom of speech to a degree. The other thing is why him. Yes. I know he's polarizing. Obviously his message has had a massive dent in what I consider to be the system, the matrix. If you want to call it. You know, politics.
So the social, like society at large, he's had a dent. Um, they don't like it. That's a very, very clear [00:04:00] why is it though? That people that are downright pedophiles. They can have their names mentioned people that are. You know, tyrants in this world can have their names mentioned. And then the videos about them are not removed, but yet someone like Andrew Tate it's instantly removed.
I dunno, just makes me, it makes me wonder. And clearly there's an agenda there. That's pretty clear, but anyway, I just thought I'd test the theory. So moving forward. Basically, it looks like I can't put any videos up or I mentioned Andrew Tate on Tik TOK, but other platforms it's okay. So I think that's showing me who is the most woke app of the mall?
It's tick shark. I actually thought it was going to be Instagram truly, or even YouTube. Like YouTube has gone pretty quick, but I love YouTube I'm on there a lot. But yeah, it seems to be ticktock.
Speaking of Tik TOK, we are going to go there to read some comments for the week.
Now, I don't want to go too far back into all the posts that I've done, because I'm pretty consistent with putting about two posts up seven days a week. So at least 14 posts a week go onto each of the platforms, at least. [00:05:00]
So I don't want to go back into all of the different episodes. So there are still people commenting, just so you know, on past episodes posts and past reels, like. My feminism posts that I told you that went viral is still. It's still garnering a lot of comments. Like, remember when I spoke about that one, we were at like a few hundred comments and it was at like 50,000 views or something.
It's now at about 90,000 views. We go there over a thousand comments. And I for the first time ever have blocked someone first time, I think that deserves a round of applause.
First time I block someone and it was because they wished me dead. No joke. No shit, someone on that feminism posts. So the feminism post, just for context, it's a real on Instagram. I've talked about it many times. I'm not going to play it right now because I'm sick of it. But it's a real where I was questioning the feminist movement.
This is literally posted over a month ago. So it was before I even did my feminism episodes right before I'd even recorded them. They're all live now. All three of them. But I was saying I was [00:06:00] questioning the motives of the feminist movement and I can see it as, you know, breaking down. So much stuff in society, but that post, I didn't really say a lot in, other than saying I can see the feminist movement has turned into the, we are better than need to be believed over men movement type thing.
Right. Woof that one just pay would just went off. But anyway, a guy came on there basically said that if, I mean, he was nasty. And I responded with love. I actually responded, we love. And then he said, if that's the hill, you want to die on, well, at least you're dead or something like that. And I was like, look, no one needs to die.
Like let's chill out a little bit. And. He was not very nice. And I ended up blocking his ass cause I'm like, come on. Grow up, grow up. We don't need anyone to be dying around here.
But anyway, I don't want to go through all of the feminism posts, all of the transgender. Pronoun posts every single week, even though they asked, you're getting commented on. So I want to make that clear. They're still getting commented on whether that [00:07:00] is YouTube or Tik TOK, predominantly it's YouTube and Tik TOK. Or Instagram, I'm still getting some comments on some of them. Instead, I would like to keep it fresh with what we have recently been discussing.
So let's go to.
Actually there is one feminism, one that I will play. So this is called uncovering hidden flaws in the feminist movement. I'll just quickly play this clip from Tik TOK. I'm here for the feminist movement may seem wonderful, but when you think. Deep into it. It's like, Ooh, there's some red flags here.
Right? So the reason why I'm saying all this. This is to say, yes, I'm speaking about the feminist movement. Yes. Yes, I make it clear that I don't agree with it. Yes. I make it clear that I don't want it to be labeled as a feminist. I don't want my name associated with the feminist movement because I disagree with it so strongly now, but it comes from lived experience and it comes from mistakes.
And so I just want my heart to be heard in this message is what I'm trying to say.
So we've got some comments on this one scrumpy said in its infancy, it was valid. This is referring to the feminist movement. In its infancy, it was valid, [00:08:00] necessary and effective. By the way before I continue, a lot of people do see it that way. And I have no issues with that whatsoever. If you are one of those individuals who could say, look, I agree with the beginnings of the feminist movement, go for gold.
Like I understand it. And then these poor modern women have mutated into a divisive tool to demean and devalue men. I have to agree. I have to agree scrumpy. And then we've got map my Pucher 74, not a movement, rather an agenda to divide the family structure. Where were they during the private spaces of women coming under threat of gender confused men, nowhere in sight. I also agree with that.
Then we've got Zach Nisbett. This was an interesting character. He just said, what's your education level? What are you educated in? Instantly. If someone starts with that, it's pretty clear that they just want to attack you. So I wrote what's yours. I guess I was just like, what? I don't have to answer to anybody. [00:09:00] He said, just answer the question, psych and criminology, personal interest in so sociology and political science, also, the people agreeing in your comments are bots. Um, you sound pretty uneducated.
Zack. If you think that anyone that disagrees with your way of thinking the world is a bot that's as stupid as me thinking that everyone that disagrees with me is a bot. No. I said I'm under no obligation to answer you. And I'm truly sorry that you were taught and believed the lie that you need a degree in a topic to be able to discuss it because that's ludicrous to think. Then we would need to go and get four year degrees in a particular topic continually just to be able to discuss it is absurd. I'm not suggesting that I'm some feminist movement icon in the political landscape.
I'm just a chick with a podcast who will talk about anything that's deemed as controversial. Because I like discussing any topic out there. So he came back with baseless [00:10:00] claim. I also don't go to my neighbor, Frank for a doctor's diagnosis. Seeing is how Frank also describes beliefs around medicine doctors, continually disapprove. Okay.
So that's the different. I'm not trying to diagnose people, Zack me as a bit. Okay. Bit of a re. Bit of a ridiculous thing to say. And then he goes even minor education and the topic would suffice in this case, don't need a whole degree. I didn't bother applying anymore because he clearly has a bit of a, um, a thing with people needing to have degrees, to be able to discuss a topic.
And yeah, I don't have a degree in feminism. Nor do I pretend that I do. Any anyway, let's move on from that one.
And then in one of my recent videos, I talked about how. We should rethink how we judge social media platforms. It just because someone has some massive, big following doesn't mean that they, you know, Otherwise as individuals on the planet and same in reverse, but also don't just [00:11:00] discredit someone with a small following. Like, because I had a comment from a guy once about how all you only have, you know, X amount of followers, you must be so wise.
And it's like, why, why do we judge. People's you know, wisdom or what they have to say or what, what they're here to share and what they want to discuss based on how many fellows they've got. Like a, to me that's just such an absurd way of looking at the world. So this was a clip that I had from that comment chaos episode.
She feels still genuinely in this world will look at someone's profile and. We like you only have X amount of followers. Therefore, no matter what you talk about, it's discounted. That is. She should have a way of looking at.
Again, I'm not against this individual. I wish them nothing, but. Laugh. Like I have no. No malice in my heart towards them whatsoever. It's the concept. It's the concept that this is still how people look at social media and as life in general, I'm just hyper. Wow. That's fascinating. Encourage that way of viewing life and viewing the world, just saying.
So if [00:12:00] we just have a look at the comments there, so this person doesn't actually have, , on Tik TOK, uh, like a handle it's just user with a million numbers that come after it. And they've written Dunning Kruger effect. Social media comments, alike. People who know the least thinking they know the most.
Whereas my mum says, how can you learn anything? If you already know everything? And I said, your mum sounds highly intelligent. Cause I thought that was cool. People who. How can you learn anything if you already know everything and it's so true, the more you think you know, about a subject, a topic or something you've studied in sometimes it's like you realize the more you actually don't know, especially when it comes to, I think, big topics in life.
Like for instance, God, and what's out there and aliens and you know, is there a reincarnation the more that you think that you've learned in that, you know, the more you realize I actually have no fricking clue about anything. Everything is just literally a theory. Like it's all just a theory. [00:13:00] We're all just guessing at the end of the day, no matter how much you think, you know, you actually know very little.
And in fact, I would say the people that come off as though they actually have all the answers on life and they're like, no, like. For instance, dogmatic ways of viewing life and religion. People that are like, this is the only way to me. No, the least. Right. So I said, your mum sounds highly intelligent.
And they said, when I was a kid, I thought that she spoke in riddles. It's only as an adult that I understand it now. Yeah. That makes sense. Someone else said the comments section on social media have taught me that not everyone on this planet is as smart as they think they are. Not saying I'm a NOAA, but I know when lists, when to listen, take notes, Google search facts.
And so I just put a love heart on there. And then Sarah Faena foul. Kuhn said interesting. If you have many followers, I block you. My block list is five times longer than the list of people. I follow on Tik TOK with a [00:14:00] little, um, Uh, I'm sticking a tongue out emoji and I put ha ha. I haven't heard that take before.
That's a different way of looking at it. I thought it was funny. I don't know if they're being tongue in cheek. I'm not recommending that you look at someone's follow list. And if they've got a lot of followers that you go and block them, That's not my recommendation. This person, Sarah Fino is perfectly welcome to do whatever they want.
I'm not recommending that, but I get what they're saying though. Sometimes it's like these big accounts. It just, yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are the wisest, but also sometimes they are right. Sometimes. They've amassed a big, big following because they have something really important to say and people listen because they're charismatic and you know, they are quite intelligent or whatever it might be.
So it's all just about discernment. Everything with this podcast comes down to self authority. Self-trust having discernment and being like a sovereign individual on the planet. Like that's kinda like my whole thing behind controversial. AAF, we're [00:15:00] not kind of, it is, it's a mat encouraging self authority.
It's about encouraging people to stand strong in their own authority in, in the way that they, uh, discerning in what they take on as truth. And you know, what decisions they make in life, who they trust, who they don't like. I'm all about that life.
Next one was a clip from the James Pasch, um, episode guest episode that I did, where we talked all about, you know, going beyond religion and reincarnation karma, the universal laws, spiritual intelligence. All of those awesome topics that I love so much. So one of the clips was about how James was saying, we should be going to, you know, everyone on the planet should be going to their gods and their guides.
And cause there's so many different religions out there and they all believe that theirs is obviously V1 or their God is the one. Uh, or their guides or whatever. So he was saying a bit tongue in cheek that everyone should go to their gods and to their guides and be asking for a refund based on the state of the world.
Right. Because. Obviously, something's not working. Something's not right. If everyone's praying to their God, into their Guidewire, isn't everything [00:16:00] just magically better. Right. He was being tongue in cheek, but. So that was put on to all platforms as well. And on Tik TOK, we've got, I can't pronounce their Tik TOK handle, but this, this guy it's a male has said religious doctrine drives me crazy. And so I wrote, I find religions fascinating, but the dogmatic and controlling parts of some of them are a massive turnoff.
And I want to make that clear, like I have said numerous times, I'm not against religions. And what I mean by that is I really do find a beauty in a lot of religions. Like you can go to different countries. Like for instance, you could go to places in Indonesia or Bali, or you could go to Thailand or, you know, whatever.
Right. And you, you feel. The energy in the places. And they're so respectful when it comes to their religions and you can go through their temples and feel a presence. You can feel the energy of the place. It is palpable and. There's so much respect and there's so much reverence and yeah, same with like Buddhism. Right.
Whatever the religion is. I have [00:17:00] respect for religions as far as I'm intrigued by them. I'm intrigued about how all different religions. I pointing to something, pointing to something right. That's beyond us. And they're all the way of trying to understand and work out. Why are we here? What's the purpose of existence.
What's beyond us. What's the afterlife. What is Guidewire? Like, I love that. I love that it gets us to think, and it gets us to think beyond just us and beyond just this life. And I also like the moral compass that is in an intertwined with a lot of religions and the traditional values that are intertwined with a lot of religions.
I love that stuff. What I don't like is the dogma. That is with some religions, especially for instance, What I don't like is, you know, especially with the Christian religion, because I can speak on that because I was a part of that religion for big, big Mike majority of my life. I don't like where people can be like, it's this way.
And that it, like, to me, that is the most close minded [00:18:00] way of looking at life and God and the afterlife and what everything is. I don't like that side of it. I don't like the dogma. I don't like the control. I don't like the, you know, thinking that we are high and mighty. And we are the only ones that have the answers on life.
I really despise that part of some religions, but overall, I think religions can be beautiful. I love going into temples and churches and I love. Feeling the energy of different places and different religions. And I have a lot of respect there and, and, or, and like wonder and wanting to understand different religions, especially like the different Eastern philosophies and. Yeah.
So I'm not anti religion.
Another one of the clips from that. Um, interview that I did with James pass was about how he said that. Instead of us praying to, you know, Uh, God outside of ourselves or praying to a data outside of ourselves. And, you know, trying to prove that our God is the right one amongst all the religions and, you know, going to war against other religions and other [00:19:00] countries based on the fact that we're saying we're right.
And our God is the right garden. You see that happened in the world. Instead of that, imagine if we all went within, right, and this is what James was saying, Uh, how much better the world would be if we all went within ourselves.
And he was saying, you know, what, if we were taught from such a young age that what is inside of us, we are a fractal. Of the divine creator that we are a fractal of that, right. We are literally all one and all connected. And he was saying, even in the episode about how. You know, because we are connected to everything, how much better we would even treat, you know, different animals and the trees and like everything, human beings.
We're all one. It's not that, oh yeah, this feels good. We're all one. No, like literally we're all a frack to, of the creator. Right? So he was saying that. And so with this clip, someone wrote a hundred percent on point, but if you say things like this majority, think you're nuts. And I wrote don't they ever, I think I wear a crown as a nut job at this point.
I used to hide it, but slowly gave less of a [00:20:00] damn. And then other people wrote a hundred percent on it as well.
then before we finish up, I'm just going back over to Instagram quickly. So this was the clique that I mentioned at the beginning of this episode, where I spoke about Andrew Tate. And how I said, you know, what are your thoughts? What do you think of Andrew Tate? And how, when I first heard of him, I'd only seen very short clips about him.
And I thought he was a bit of a male chauvinistic peer goes just like. Who is this guy? I didn't give him much thought. And then more of recent times when I've watched very long form podcast interviews of him. I was like, oh my God, he's actually like saying some really interesting things. I actually agree with most of what comes out of his mouth.
And I actually really liked the guy. So anyway, this clip was about, you know, what are your thoughts on him? And so one person commented on Instagram. And I'm only just seeing it because it was actually hidden. So I wonder if you're on YouTube. You'll see. Right. So I've put that up on the screen, top comments, and then underneath it says, see hidden comments.
I didn't even know that was there. So when I click on it,
That'd be great. So you will say that this someone's [00:21:00] face and post comes up underneath it. So I'm going to read this too. So. They go buy a PC sorority. So I don't know how to pronounce that name. This was their response to me saying, what do you think of Andrew Tate? Right. And me saying. That was literally the post.
What are your thoughts on Andrew Tate? Cause at first I was unsure of the guys what I said. So she said, well, he hates women and you seem to as well. So it's not hard for you to feel the way you do. It's just that you need to do the work on yourself, sought out why you hate women and why you think thinking like a man makes you better. Fascinating.
Right. Let's break that down for a second.
Well, he hates women and you seem to as well, I actually don't think Andrew Tate hates women. I know that is a very common thing that you hear. I don't think he does at all. When you listen to his long form podcast interviews, that's not the vibe that I get at all, but you may see that differently. I [00:22:00] definitely don't hate women.
I love women. I am a woman. I adore my client. I think we're awesome. And then she said, so it's not hard for you to feel the way you do. Interesting, because all I said in that clip was that. What do you think of Andrew Tate? Right. What are your thoughts on him? At first, I was unsure of him. Interesting. So she says, I need to do the work on myself.
I agree. I'm always doing work on myself. I sought out why you hate women. Don't hate women. That must be a projection from this individual. Definitely don't hate women. And she said, um, why you think thinking like a man makes you better?
Don't think like a man. And also don't think that if I did think like a man that that would make me better. Oh, bless your cotton socks. No wonder that was hidden. I think that was hidden because Instagram things here are not job. My life. And so anyway, that's a funny one, too. Um, to leave this week on.
So that was the one comment of the week. Thank you Instagram for hiding that one. Now I understand [00:23:00] why it's a bit of a douchebag comment, but anyway, I love you as always. I hope you have enjoyed unpacking some of the comments from our social media this week. Oh, I didn't even go to YouTube. There's comments at YouTube.
I'll leave them for next week for you. Anyway, love you guts. Please keep your comments popping and I will keep my replies popping too. As usual. Love you dearly and get ready for another episode next week. Have a great week legends. Bye.
