Hi Mark, I have to correct one point around 1:17
You said (about men, they are men, let's stop lying about this, in women's sports), you said that "20 years ago we would have never have said this"
You're wrong.
Back in the 70s were the first cases of men chopping their parts off, taking oestrogen off-label, and getting government id saying they were "women".
Just a few examples how all this shit started well before 20 years ago, feminists have been fighting this bs for 50 years, but no one listens to inconvenient women...
1800s- The notion of a soul born in the wrong body is born, the label "sexual invert" is applied to all homosexuals.
1900s- This notion was really starting to take hold in society. In "liberal" circles homosexuality became fully acceptable, but in conservative/religious circles/societies/countries homosexuality remained taboo. The narrative of "transexual" allowed conservative parents to impose regressive sexist stereotypes onto their homosexual offspring. This repression of sexuality in homosexuals led to a few sexual dysfunctions:
a) autogynephilia
b) closet homosexuality
c) generalised trauma leading to criminal behaviours
sports (not exclusive of course)
1974- Martina Navratilova's coach, Renée Richards, played in women's tennis, women fought back, but there were too few people aware. Feminists fought back with several books, but no one cared about what feminists had to say.
1995- Michelle Dumaresq got a "sex change" and in 2001 competed in women's cycling. Feminists complained, but we were cancelled.
In the 90s, the fake-sex battles shifted from sports to women's spaces
1991- a male who identified as a woman demanded to admission to Vancouver's Lesbian Association. When they said no, he dragged them to court, and bankrupted them.
1991- The Michfest women's music festival was demonstrated against for years by males who identified as women. One of their ring leaders, Dana Rivers, then went on to murder a lesbian couple and their adopted son. Feminists fought back, but no one listened.
1995- a male who identified as a woman demanded to be allowed to work as a women's rape councillor at the Vancouver Rape Relief shelter. These feminists fought back in court, for 10 years!! through three court processes. They finally won, but just barely
2005- Lana Lawless got "gender reassignment", and after playing men's golf for 21 years, switched over to women's golf. The social rules really started being pushed at this point. Feminists fought back, no one listened.
So that speaks in part to your "20 years ago" point (Lana Lawless 17 years, but still, same trend)
In the late 90s early 00s, the trans movement reorganised itself, pushing the "trans women are women" narrative, and they were politically wise, and invested themselves in all sorts of political and community level organising. At the same time, gay rights were mostly achieved, so there was a LOT of money looking for a new cause. The Pritzker family got involved, gay rights reorganised into trans rights, they entered the "sceptics" and "atheist" groups and started pushing their agenda hard there. I was cancelled from my atheist groups around 2008 for not following along with "men born in wrong sexed bodies".
No one is born in the wrong body.
There is no such thing as a "sex change" in mammals.
The sport topic is awesome, but these social lies need to stop, across the board.
Overall I totally agreed with this long interview. But on capitalism. Sorry, what we are experiencing today is totally authoritarian capitalism. The trouble is too few corporations control too large a proportion of "the market". We do NOT have a free market. The
Medical Industrial Complex
Military Industrial Complex
Big Media
Big Data
Big Ag
control, entirely, our governments, and policy, and this is for the purpose of profits alone, profits achieved through market POWER.
I'd love a "free market". Early versions of Marxism/Communism were actually "free market" activists in the sense that they believed a loaf of bread baked at home could be sold, and that a person could derive revenue from this. In those early days, the communism was meant to prevent monarchies and monopolies. Those regimes shifted away from this.
Basically, the US "government" is now no different than a "late communist" government. They are not "democracy". Governments are owned by corporations, entirely. They say what the billionaire class tell them to say. And the sheeple follow along, because democracy is such a nice delusion.
In our modern western societies, we are NOT allowed to bake a loaf of bread and sell it. THAT would be a Free Market.
