gad is the gadfather
Gad daddy is my spirit animal
Is there any link to where Gad makes his argument against communism? Everything stated (but not argued) here seems like it would be blown out of the water in a debate by knowledgeable left libertarians and Marxists. In fact, a lot of what he said, Marx himself said, other aspects sound not historically informed, or to commit the naturalistic, and the straw-man fallacy and therefore accidentally be arguments against democracy, or even capitalism as well.
Utopian ideas quickly turns into dystopian horror.. George Orwell was a genius to present it in Animal Farm..
How can this dude plagiarize Dawkins meme, give it a new terminology and not give credit???
Gad hits so many nails on the head: we're living through an era where people are lost in juvenile utopian thought experiments, weird idealism that is completely at odds with the utter brutality and complexity of The Human Being.
Doesn’t help when the underlying philosophical beliefs have been kicked away either.
@@seanmoran6510 I totally agree. Our western system (the free secular society) is based on conditions it cannot garantee itself. That is the greatest endavour it has enganged itself for the sake of freedom. This is a quotation of a remark by a german professor of law and chief justice of Germany, Ernst Wolfgang Böckenförde. And the condiitions who sustain a free society are the judeo-christian values. To deny this fact is postmodern gibberish. The last sentence is also a quotation of a most prominent german philosopher (Jürgen Hbermas) who is an agnostic.
@@piushalg8175 Judaeo-Christian? What about Classical Era Philosophy? What about Enlightenment? Things like nation-state or popular sovereignity come from the Era of reason and judaeo-christian religious leaders were not very happy with that secularization. So I would say the free secular society came despite judaeo-christian system.
@@azanulbizar12 Enlightenment was founded on ideas developed by
Christianity. For instance classical philosopy did not recognize the equality of men at all. But Christianity brought forward the idea that all men are created in the image of God and therefore have dignity which has to be respected. Of course ideas have a history and the history of emancipation and its underlying ideas is long, full of suffering and even contradictions and inconsistencies. But there is a sharp contrast regarding classical mindsets: for the pagan Romans slaves were mere commodity (legally to handle as one pleases) and the ruler of the family decided rightly about life and death of his subjects (wife, kids and slaves). The abolishment of slavery was largely driven by religious people who put pressure on the english parliament. I think this was the case in the northern US-states as well.
And these individuals are unprepared to deal with the real world which will eventually encroach on them.
“The Lads” hit a home run again 👍 Gad Saad is a voice of reason and objectivity for the entire Western World.
LOL. Gad is an elderly snowflake who talks utter crap. You poor fool
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched. The way he articulates his positions is flawless. It’s one of those videos where you immediately feel smarter for having watched it
Me too! This guy is on my list of brave and intelligent heroes in our fool-filled world!
Smarter or more virtuous?
I only get to understand that there are by far smarter people out there than me. I am just happy to have the minimum amount of intelligence to at least somewhat understand what they have thought thru and present it in an easier way to us. Knowing I wouldnt be able to come to this conclusion by myself. But it is satisfactory to at least grasp it somehow.
@@Stinktierchen
Smart enough to be stupid.
Spot on...
Gad Saad looking and sounding every bit the legend he is. Montreal's finest.
Calm down darling.
Pronounced, Muntreal.
The Gadfather
After Schwartz's
Gad Saad is the Mordecai Richler of his generation.
I'm a romance writer and Gad is absolutely right! My novels could never go woke because my readers would stop reading.
Interesting
I am not a reader of romance novels, but as I writer I do know the importance of knowing your audience and giving them what they want. You realize this and give your readers what they want and expect which equals success. Might not be politically correct to some, but you know your market and you cater to them, not the masses. Congratulations!
Wokeness not only kills romance, but it destroys marriage and fertility rates too.
Or was that feminism? 🤔
Yeah I feel that from an art perspective. I don't like things that become overly relative, be it books or paintings or whatever. I like meaning, drama, power plays, etc. You can't do that if everything is relativist and equal and everything
Always love listening to the Gad Father!! Brilliance!
Likewise.
It’s so good to see people talking sense in a stupid world. Every day I feel the West is collapsing, but then I watch your shows and my sense of hope is restored.
Still going in the wrong direction though. More of us need to be made aware (sorry about quoting XR)
I sometimes wonder if those trying to bring down the west have children of their own - and if they do, have they any idea what kind of world they will inhabit
Yep - Konstantin is a former Soviet citizen, Francis has been living in Venezuela and Gad is a Lebanese refugee.
Also I watch this and I'm from a former Warsaw Pact "peoples republic".
me too
I was born in Russia and live in Germany. And almost ALL Russian-Germans here are absolutely shocked on how crazy the native Germans are. We vote for the far right party here that is called Nazi by Germans. So we immigrants who suffered the WW2 from Nazis would vote Nazis? It is absolutely mind-boggling how blind people can be if they didnt experience things by themselfs. Whatever that is.. pain... taste... feel... If you didnt encounter it once in your life you will be very blind to the possible outcome.
@@Stinktierchen : the people you vote for, would never have allowed you to go to Germany in the first place.
@@verakehrli5636 Thats absolute BULLSHIT and untrue! First of all, I am allowed to come to Germany by law(I am German by heritage). And even if they didnt allow (my parents) to come here. I wouldnt give a flying fuck about that. Thats life. I am sure I would have handled it somehow (Germany is not the only place you can live in). But again.. Your statement is UNTRUE and just wishthinking from your side. Thats the typical lie I hear all day from Germans who are disconnected from reality.
And if they wouldnt let Germans by heritage into Germany. At least that would probably mean they wouldnt let any other completely different people into Germany either. That alone would have kept Germany still a nice country at least for the native Germans itself.
But who am I. Ss far as I know... Germans hate slavs and prefer Arbas and Turks. So the point you made was true for ages already. Everyone with proper papers who came from the east were treaten like shit. And Germany is an extreme example. If you do everything correct and by law they wouldnt let you in. But if you come in like an illegal you are welcome here. I know that from many cases. At least I am 100% sure of the fact that the AFD would rather let Germans by heritage into Germany than Arabs who come illegally
@@Stinktierchen : as far as I know, AFD would also like to stop migration of so-called heritage Germans which have above average criminality and often are linked to the mob.
I would not be surpised if AFD would kick you out. Just keep voting for them, and you will find out.
When someone publicly fights the bad ideas, GET BEHIND HIM.OR HER. Like Dave Chappelle. Fight all identity politics. Fight for the first amendment.
I have never seen Gad before, but listening to him was like finding a book that you just can’t put down; I was absolutely hooked on what he talked about as it resonated with me completely 🙏❤️🙏👍 his response to ‘what’s the one thing we should talk about’ he said he hates the apathy of many people not fighting for their freedoms.
I have a toddler and anyone with a young child that isn’t projecting their own ideas onto it will notice how their preferences and behaviours differ by gender greatly (in the majority) with no intervention. Our daughter also very much noticed the differences between men and women but not race, very early on. And she could speak from 8 months and let us know!
Finally people are speaking out.
I call it a 12yo girls run society.
Women & children are the largest consumer group.
And I think it's a stupid assertion that Facebook affects the little girls & society. I think it's the little girls who affect Facebook & Society.
The Facebook just sells what the little girls want.
So now the whole society is emotional & manipulative & irrational like it's controled by a bunch of 12yo girls.
@@parkhouston5563
Everyone knows it.
Look at the statistics.
It's not a secret.
The issue is that we cannot blame the little girls or women.
That is misogyny.
So we have to pretend that it's all coming from Facebook or consumerism or .....
We have to pretend it's the "hWhit CIS Men in power".
Even we know that women move the market economy.
We know that women & children are the largest consumers.
The whole market is working to satisfy them.
All education is based on Women.
But we cannot say the truth.
We have to pretend that it's Capitalism.
Women are just the innocent victims.
Like Facebook is making girls do what they do.
Why Facebook doesn't make boys do things?
* I guess it must be the Patriarchy hating women.
Dude it's the oldest story in history.
You can never satisfy women.
You do what they want, and they will blame you for it.
It's a nice guy trope.
You can do everything for a girl & she will blame you for it.
I am not talking about all women of course.
But it's what is happening.
Facebook is just doing their job selling the products for women.
And the women turning around & blaming the Facebook.
@C K
but it a human nature.
Like CEOs are on average 6'1" in the US.
But male on average are 5'9-5'11"
The attractive people get paid more.
..
You will save your kids first.
You are not going to sacrifice you child for 100-10000 African children.
It's just the same everywhere.
Especially Socialists states depend on corruption & Nepotism.
@C K
I've never judge people by some stereotypes & standards.
People could be stupid & invaluable.
And others are smart & educated but useless.
I am pointing out the fact of the situation.
Is the situation bad?!
Yep, I think so.
Like what the difference between some football clubs or bad girls club?
In boys club nobody is complaining.
It's sucks.
Life sucks.
.
Facebook & Market is working to satisfy the girls & women.
Well and men but in a lower proportion.

UA-cam is a boys club like video games ,& politics.
Women on average prefer gossip & society....
Men would watch construction work for 5 hours.
"When I put my head on the pillow at night to sleep, the only way I can fight insomnia is to know that I've done everything I can to be an authentic person." Yes! My sentiments exactly! But 99% of the population don't understand those of us who strive to live this way. They are constantly confused by our motives when, to me, this motive couldn't be simpler.
I truly believe that the reason why a lot of people have trouble sleeping is because they have so much mental energy tied up in the lies they make every day and that they cannot unwind because of it.
Perhaps the vast majority of people are silent and have some common sense. I really hope so, because we're f*cked if the loud, brash woke bunch constitutes a majority.
Very true... I'm not sleeping great lately
@@corb5654 unfortunately I don’t think so. Not that the majority are the insane woke people. Most people are not very smart. We have the Q anon crowd, the woke mob, flat earthers, and more. I’m not even sure 10% are critical thinking awake humans.
Both Gad Saad and Jordan Peterson are the prides of Canada =)
Please Don’t put Gad in the same class as Jordan. I tried to be a fan, but his last performance on JRE was embarrassing. Saad is a far superior mind than Peterson. I’m not even sure Peterson can be considered an intellectual. He had some really really terrible takes that last JRE.

The most cut-to-the-chase analysis I have seen of that complete shit show we're currently in.
Post-modernism's claim: "There is no truth". Think about it. Think about that first simple statement. Just that. Analyze it. What is the claim, "there is no truth"?....it's a claim of truth...that there is no truth. Post modernists make a claim of truth, while insisting that there is no truth. That's just circular reasoning of a dog chasing his tail, while telling you there is no tail.
It's like me saying, "Look at this lamp, there is no lamp". To the post modernist I say, there is no truth? Good, your claim that there is no truth can be dismissed, out of hand. If the claim that there is no truth is false, where does that lead us? To the obvious conclusion that there is indeed, truth.
Now that we're done, with the post-modernist claim, I'll make a claim. Here's my claim: Post modernists are bone-headed morons who lack logic, can't see their own stupidity.
Go ahead someone. Try to refute my claim.
@@TimBitts649 Until I reached my early 20’s I honestly believed that “post-modernism” was a style of Art & nothing more. When I heard students from the ‘sociology department’ banging-on about that bollocks, it was always in very smokey rooms smelling of incense! 😵💫 Even as an English Lit student talking bollocks in the wee small hours of the morning, I had zero patience with that stoner twaddle…
It honestly blew my mind when I discovered that a significant % of university faculty & students actually believe in “post-modernism” FOR REAL!!! Not just the Arts (of course that movement happened, just like the impressionists!) but as an ideology! I still have this nagging doubt that they’re just doing some experiment to see if society will accept their stoner drivel…& they don’t even believe what they’re saying, like for-real, dude! 😮💨
To look upon a new born baby & honestly believe that they, NOT even he/she, (It’s all “social constructs”) is a “blank slate”, is the intellectual equivalent of believing that the stork delivers babies!!
@@suzimonkey345 Interesting comment, Suzi Monkey. It reminded me of my niece when she was in her early 20s. She suddenly became a Mormon. Didn't grow up Mormon. She met some friends, met a guy, is all. Then her guy didn't work out, she went to university instead. Instantly gave up Mormonism, when the Mormon guy didn't work out. Suddenly she went "Woke". I figured, she missed Jesus. Then people online like Gad started talking about 'Woke' being a religion replacement.
I never thought she actually believed her Mormonism and I don't think she actually believes her Woke nonsense. But her husband is 'Woke' so she goes along with him. It's fashion mixed with religion for her.
Her husband was much older than her by 25 years. Ben's a high income professional in a position of power, he spent a couple of decades sleeping with dozens of young women, one after another, in his "Peter Pan" lifestyle. Ben's what I call 'Harvey Weinstein Woke.' The worst kind of Woke. Hollywood Woke.
For Ben, Woke feminism means women are sexually free to sleep around a lot. Women like high status guys, so Ben had quite a time of it for decades, had a great time with dozens of all those 'liberated' women. He's a complete phony, just goes along with "Woke" to social signal how "progressive" he is. Ben says he believes it. I don't believe him. It just gets him social points, because then some of the ladies think "Ben's sensitive".
My niece used to go on and on that "gender is a social construct".... Then she had a "Gender Reveal Party" when her first kid was born...and she was so excited to have a son...Sea of blue at the party... uh huh, I said. I said "well if gender is a social construct, why bother reveal it at birth?..."
...I like your stork joke. Thanks. Gonna use that, steal that...lol..thx

This interview ended too soon.
Mr. Saad's ability to express ideas clearly is second to none.
He also totally killed the toy-preference argument imo.
Plz have Mr. Saad on again, as soon as possible :)
What we need is a reassertion of critical thinking and public debate……
Exactly. The lack of Critical Think I see every day in Society, quite simply, Blows My Mind... literally! I feel like I'm going insane at times. The old T shirt with 'Common Sense isn't so common anymore' has become a Meme at this point. 😀
"Evidence-based critical thinking'. You have to be careful with that word 'critical'... there are some that pass it off as meaning something completely different such as with Critical Theories.
@@bobcharles7933 It's what 'they' want. It's a dictionary war we are fighting. Woman, Critical, Equality and Fair. We are not arguing the same points... and they know it! I know what I mean and 'they' will not take the dictionary definition and make it something else! 😃
What's most terrifying is that Critical thought and reason is the reason for the existence of academia - yet academia is where the Woke war on thought and truth comes from: the first institutiin to be captured.
The worst thing? People seem to automatically believe any “expert” wheeled out in front of them on tv.
And since the media is heavily left-wing biased, the “experts” they put on air are predominantly pushing Woke madness and alarmism. Hence, Covid “doom doctors” treating it as the new Black Death; Critical Race theorists; Climate Change alarmists; militant feminists; Alphabet people. All of it entirely divorced from the real world and unsupported by the evidence around us.
For starters, we need to put this “Climate Emergency” to the test and challenge the Doom Mongers that the planet is doing nothing that it has not already done many times all on its own.
Such a wise man, hitting us all with FACTS. The Gadfather!

You guys are awesome and love Gad 😍
Oh boy, I love Gad Saad.
51:35 Mister Saad, I cannot thank you enough for pointing this out! As an immigrant (international student) in North America, I couldn't agree more! I have come to one conclusion: Social Justice, wokeness and progressivism can ONLY exist in a developed, liberal and first-world nation/region where there are very few existential threats and where the purposeless masses in urban areas have to create some form of ideology to fill the void in their lives. That is why it makes no sense and destroys that society. That is also why rural westerners, religiously inclined people, non-western countries and immigrants mostly tend to hate social justice and wokeness more than the native citizens.
This is better than attending traditional, woke University. I actually learned something useful today.
Agreed!
Gad - I already 'fell in love' with you myself during your discussion with TR. You're truly informative - and ensure we can access appropriate words and concepts to describe, discuss and debate what we see around this MAD woke society with more clarity. Thank you.
Gad Saad = LEGEND
I had to use the same logic here in Italy, even though put differently, that we have to put our family "first", then our friends, followed by our citizens, before considering those unfortunates in other countries, that their rulers will not do what is humanly correct.
Having grown up, when young, in East Africa, I remember an important lesson my father gave me ..........
"To begin changing the world, you must begin by helping to develop the "natural inborn talents" of every individual near you, and place him in a job that is suitable for these talents" .......... Which is what he did in all of his activities.
Thank you. I am a great admirer of Gad Saad.
Love to see you host another Canadian who’s a great thinker🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
What a great discussion. Well done Gents! Thank you.
Western countries need people like this man
I live the identical way when he speaks about being authentic and regularly think of how important it is and how often I see others lack it
Yes, learn to reject ALL IDEAS that force action against individual liberty and equal protection under whatever laws you have. Truth will be found by free people, and it will happen fastest when you don't take from one to give to another as that usually ends up going from the poor/middle class to the richest and most powerful people.
Both sides are partially true. And its also possible that we are going through a big behavioral change.
It’s an eternal truism that whenever you rule on something, one side will gain at somebody else’s loss.
The problem we have right now is that affluent elites are playing with their favourites, and enriching themselves, at loss to the blue collar majority - and then telling us it’s on moral grounds.
As the saying goes, “don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining”.

Fantastic, makes me proud to have a principled deep thinking Canadian. There’s hope. Thanks all, 🍻🇨🇦🏴☠️
Term I’m going to use today: “Cognitive Miser”.
Also, had to pause the interview and order the book - very much looking forward to reading it!
On socialism/communism, you have raised a very valid point, When young, I met President Julius Nyerere who introduced "African Socialism" in his country based on the "Kibbutz" idea, and his idea seemed very good, but he realized that it did not work, and resigned after 25 years, and asked his people forgiveness for introducing an ideology that only brings poverty. I also lived in a communist country in Europe for 6 months, and saw the reality, not the propaganda, and saw the painting of the Russian T-34 tank by its citizens, and my local friend simply said "Freedom has started!". Where citizens risk death to escape their country, it is a sure sign that freedom does not exist there.
Gad Saad is the most interesting and passionate guest you have ever had, in my opinion - and not because he is a fellow Canadian - because I didn't know that about him when I first hear him speak. When he speaks about "Authentic Self" it gets right into my cells, all of them, and I reverberate because I know that as a member of the human race, being my authentic self is a huge priority. I really believe that deep down inside we all know what is right or wrong but some of us will justify doing the "wrong" thing for consequentialist reasons - and in doing so you become a fraud. This has been my struggle in dealing with other members of the human race - my "spidey senses" flare up when I'm dealing with a fraud and I will not succumb to their infiltration of me as a person for consequentialist reasons and therefor, I too, don't get invited to the "cool kids"/fraud parties. However, I do sleep well at night.
A masterpiece. Thank you all.
Let’s Go Brandon. Stand up for freedom. 🇺🇸 Enjoyed listening to Gad Saad.
Awesome interview - very inspiring! I have started speaking up at work - respectfully disagreeing with whatever woke agenda was being pushed. And surprise surprise most people actually agree, they just need someone to break cover first.
Hardly anyone agrees with all this bullshit - just need to stand up and be counted people!
Never forget the real heros, selflessly patrolling the boundaries of morality to keep us safe and defeat the isms.
We salute you.
Gad is very smart and I learned a lot from this, thank you for this interview it was very good.
Really admirable professor 👍
Great conversation. It is very helpful to me because I have been struggling to understand the increasing radicalism of liberal/progressive I have known for many years. This gives me clues that explain at least in part their behavior and increasing craziness.

I completely understand Gad's perspective on being authentic to yourself and then you sleep well and lead a happy life.
Although I disagree with gender specific toys. My son wanted a push chair to push his teddy's around the park - when anyone commented, I said I was raising him to be a "hands on" Dad 😉 he is 26 now and very much a straight male. Still not a Dad yet either 😉 (too young to be a grandmother!)
There is nothing wrong with that. Of course there are boys who enjoy playing with "girl toys" and vice-versa, and we should encourage them 100% (my boys were partially in that category, as they played with both guns and dolls). It doesn't make these toys "neutral". They are still gender-specific, and it is OK to go to the store and buy a doll for your little boy.
Boys have had dolls for ages, they just call them action figures. Boys are usually interested imagining what the toys are doing, rather than dressing them up.
I agree Rokko, the same son had the most extensive action man collection you have ever seen!
Gad Saad is so articulate!

Except when it comes to religion
But was George Floyd murdered and was it indefensible... He committed a crime then overdosed he refused police commands fought himself out of the car onto the ground, asked to be put on the ground they held him in the middle of an angry crowd while waiting for EMS the tactics they used were trained and approved and even the prosecution witness said they would use those actions. They also used such little force there were no marks present on his body. People then freaked out about a video clip without all the info rioted and burned buildings to the ground. Many people were absolutely murdered and Suddenly a criminal who punched a pregnant woman is a hero and George Washington statues need to be toppled. No one cares about personal responsibility anymore. Hope that doesn't trigger anyone but not really.
It's in the past. It's impossible to know whether he would've OD'd whether the cop was stressing him/his body or not.
People who are hard into one camp or the other are ideologically possessed. Both things came together to contribute to his death. Trying to separate them is akin to attempting to rewrite history, as settling in either camp would force you to ignore the totality of the factors that lead to his death.
Funny that he mentioned romance novels. My mom was into those big time. You could get them in the kiosk and there were 3 kinds. Castle novels (where the man was a lord) Doctor novels, and one more that I can't remember. I think it may have been airline pilot. They really cranked them out and there were always new issues to be had. It's essentially the same story in all of them, and my mom was so captivated she didn't much care about the real people around her.
Once when I was 5, me and my 18 months younger sister went with her to bathe in the lake on a summer day. We started playing in the shallows and my mom got comfy and started reading another chapter of being whisked away. At some point, I realized that she hadn't paid attention to us whatsoever for a long time, and that anything could have happened and she'd have no idea. Obviously, this was part of a pain that was already there as I was unable to reach her emotionally. Suffice to say, the problem was already established, and the situation at the beach made me want to teach her a lesson. I told my sister, who did what her big brother told her, to hide behind a bush and not come out until I called her. Then I went to my mom and told her with a straight face that my sister had gone under and not come up again.
Oh no, you left us with a cliffhanger 😅 What was her reaction? ✌️
@@geekvinos Hehe. Well, my point kinda was that her reaction isn't really relevant, provided of course that you buy the premise. But, on a surface level she panicked and it didn't take many seconds before I realized the chaos that was about to ensue, so I immediately called my sister to come out. I was but 5 after all. She didn't "learn" anything of course. You can't teach a woman to bond with her children if it doesn't come naturally. But her attitude towards me may have shifted from indifference to a slight smouldering hatred. The devil child had made its first move. I don't know. I really have no idea who she was. But they do say that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
Opposite of love/indifference... Lumineers 🤘
Another great Triggernometry episode, thanks for hosting Gad Saad.
Pakistanis marry cousins all the time. Even in the west they let cousins marry. they are given marriage licenses. When they are denied licenses in the west they go to Pakistan to marry. Marriages in Pakistan are considered valid in the west. Making our social medical systems pay the cost. Are they not a culture?
Polygamy, child marriage, FGM, cartoonists and teachers killed for “blasphemy”... ah yes the lefts love of that beautiful ideology, and their insistence on refusing to discuss the scripture and how all the above are justified by it.
"Marriages in Pakistan are considered valid in the west."
That depends if is is a child marriage or not. Those are invalidated the moment you set foot in the Netherlands and will result in the child being taken away by the Child Protection Services.
44:00 Liberty without moral constraint is hedonism.
This was the great battle of the Enlightenment. Rousseau vs Locke, French Revolution vs American Revolution
The parasitic mind is an amazing book. Gad Saad is an amazing writer. Very witty, funny, and brilliant
One of the rare discussions that left me frustrated at the fact that I could only give it one thumbs-up. One hundred would have done it more justice.
We need to fight totaliarism. Totaliarism can be excerted by autocracies, by states, by companies, and even by democracies.
We need to fight any form of it.
Here we see three persons that were traumatized by state totaliarism, and quite naturaly this is the form they fear most. Still, they should make sure they do not foreget about the other forms.
Great chat gents!! Thanks Gad. Such a beautiful way to articulate our many frustrations with what’s going on. For me lately, it just seems to be anger. I can’t believe people are so willing to give up liberty.
Government overstep slippery slope: EXACTLY. Plus once something’s made a crime, you determine punishment, which can be used as political weapon.
And people are afraid to speak up if they will lose the job which keeps the roof over their heads and puts food on their table as a result.
Lost me a bit around the George Floyd thing. The idea that video is considered particularly "vile, awful, grotesque, shocking" etc. astounds me. I've seen considerably more disturbing things that have happened to innocent people and they didn't get anywhere near the coverage or outpouring of support his case got. When Frances states it was "murder" and the police officer's actions were "indefensible"....all these statements are idea pathogens and they even infected the courtroom/justice system in this case.
It was an unfortunate hypocritical attempt to establish their credentials for "legitimate reasonable outrage" by misconstruing the Floyd fiasco as a counterweight to criticism of other "intellectual and social pathogens".
I totally agree. Remember when that unarmed, yes, white guy was shooting a pellet gun out of their apartment window and the SWAT team that showed up slaughtered him because he was confused by their bizarre directions he made a small movement wrong and they blasted him. THAT was grotesque. All I saw with George Floyd was a black person resisting arrest (something they’ve been indoctrinated to do by the media) in the middle of a drug induced health episode, succumbing to the stress.
Yep, I commented to say the same. I wish they'd stop spreading the lie.
The "armed police" thing is also a bizarre red herring: Floyd was not shot, and an unarmed British PC could have killed a black criminal in exactly the same way. His killing (which was clearly accidental and only "Murder" in quite a tendentious sense) was the first look a lot of naive, sheltered people had into the brutal reality of policing; unfortunately, for too many of them it was the only look. Only a few of us knew, before Floyd, that the police do far worse things than that sometimes, usually to no media fanfare, and quite often no-one even ends up dead. What's bizarre is that, post-Floyd, it's still only a few of us who know that.
@@avonacolyte The only person that killed Floyd was himself.
I know police are not perfect and often do and get away with shitty stuff. But they're still needed. I too would love to live a world where police are not needed, but that's simply not realistic.
this entire thing was a travesty, from the media lies to biased (and threatened) jury to politicians calling for Chauvin's head.
Gad Saad is one of modern days great minds, one of the best. Always a pleasure to listen to him.
I just want to thank you for bringing Count Dooku on the podcast. I always thought he had a lot to say and never really got a chance in the prequels to get his message out
Lol!
Dooku is the Japanese word for 'poison'. However, there is nothing poisonous coming out of this man's mouth, on the contrary, it's all medicine.
I love when KK & FF speak from the perspective of their family nationalities. When they ask opposition questions too.
Enriches these interviews! 👍
God bless you guys
What...? Valuing one's own children over others...how inhumane...we all do...even within families their are always some kind of favorites.
One of your existing Welsh viewers here guys. I think what you guys are doing is great and very much needed. Francis try and remember that the UK is more than just England and if you are going to have a pop at the Welsh I'm sure you are capable of something a little more clever and original than that 😉 you will be calling us all sheep shaggers next 🤣
Fantastic interview!
Terrific, lads and many thanks to Mr. Saad.
Gad Saad mesmerises me with his vocabulary and so elegant in the way he puts across his ideas. I wish my linguistic skills were half as good as his, and English is, from what I can discern, probably his forth language. :( lol
Gaf Saad - a brilliant mind. The two interviewers are also very effective
Great talk
Yes, the fight-back is on!
This man is awesome, he deserves more attention then 'the other Canadian professor' if you ask me.
Good Gad, this guy talks a lot of sense 👍
This was such a great conversation to listen to- Gad really was on fire today 👍
