Honestly, the last thing I fucking wanted is for two white men to show up on my for you page

Talking about how I need to believe in X, Y, and Z ideology. If you really want to do something,

How about you go outside and organize your community? Stop doing a podcast and complaining every week. Yeah, you know, if every white guy that decided to start a leftist podcast right after they got leftist views went out out and started organizing. We'd have a revolution already. Yeah, we actually, media is unimportant. Yeah. Historically, every, every leftist group that has had to deal with a bunch of propaganda survived. For real. Dealing with right-week propaganda, historically very easy. Didn't sink leftist efforts in Guatemala or anything like that. Not at all. Not at all. Not messaging? It doesn't matter. Not important. Get out and organize your community. It doesn't matter how much anti-communist sentiment there is. Even if you're not really a communist, if you're not out there organizing your community and being off TikTok, then you are ontologically evil.

True.

And you know what that means.

No one has ever been radicalized on TikTok before.

No one has ever learned new ideas from seeking out different content before.

It's not about sinking your message into the teeth of people who don't usually see things.

It's about just like talking to people in your community, which I mean, to an extent it is, obviously. If you couldn't guess, we're talking about some criticism that we received on TikTok earlier this week where some dude commented, again, if these white guys would have just started organizing, we'd have the revolution already. It's like, yeah, dog, I get it. Organizing, very important. I don't, I can't stress that enough. That is very important in Podcasting, yeah, it's not the most important thing in the world. But obviously, messaging is important. You need messaging. And if, if, um, the, the somewhat unpopular leftist sentiment that all these podcasts, they aren't really doing anything, Hassan, the big, like, streamers, they aren't really doing anything for the movement. They just sitting here, like, filling their own egos. They're not getting anyone on the left. It's just a fucking lie. We don't say that about, like, Stephen Crowder. We don't say that about Tucker Carlson on his show every night. And we don't say that about Ben Shapiro on YouTube. We actually invented a new term to describe what they've done. We invented the alt-right pipeline. Yeah, yeah. Described the alt-right pipeline as this thing that led people to these content creators, which them radicalize them into conservatism and alt-right views. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, it's like nobody, no one on the right gets criticized for talking up capitalism, talking about how great it is, how great the Republican party is, and then gets criticized for like not owning enough capital. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, dog, if I figure out the way to, if I figure out how to do the revolution and install a communist America, I'd be doing it. I'd be doing it. I would have done it already. If I would have figured out how to get to Utopia, I would have done it already. But I guarantee you the path there is going to include some form of communication and messaging. And if I can play a part in radicalizing people in a way that I like in a way that can maybe one day evolve into some type of career, then why wouldn't I do it? True. But I don't know, Doug. Stephen Crowder, he's not doing a lot for the right. Ben Javier and Tucker Carlson, they're really not doing that much for the right. They would have had their conservative capitalist revolution already if it wasn't for them. Whenever you walk into like your grandparents house, your uncle's house or whatever, and you see them watching Fox News and their brain just being melted,

Tucker Carlson's not actually doing that much. Yeah, for real. They're definitely going to still have

nuanced take. Like, if Tucker Carlson was in their neighborhood organizing, they, things would be different for them.

Real. Then the brain route was set in, but until then, they're going to be able to critically analyze these situations regardless.

In all seriousness. Both things can exist, people, and both things are important.

Diversity of tactics.

And you need information spreading.

Diversity of tactics is good.

And if you have this take, you should probably become a patron.

Yeah. Welcome back to the show, everybody. Welcome back to Head in the Office.

We're talking about a whole lot of fascism and right-wing insanity today.

That's right.

You can probably predict we're going international a little bit later on in the show. Got to. Got to. Got to start off with a little lot of fascism and right-wing insanity today. That's right. You can probably predict we're going international, a little bit later on in the show. Got to.

Got to start off with a little discussion of Hurricane Ian and Florida being underwater. And then we got some Beyond Parity for the end of the show to ask. You know we have to talk about a little bit of Lizzo twerk. Exactly. A little bit of Lizzo twerkie. But anyway, before we get into the show, as I just mentioned, you got to become a patron.
