215: Complaining Still Kicks Ass

[00:00:28] Welcome to Anime Sickos, it's the podcast for geniuses and the only podcast where we look at the four pillars of modern misery, anime, gaming, posting, and jobs. I'm Tom in Anime Sickos I'm Joe in Anime Sickos. I just want to take a moment to reflect back on our very good Skewer Returns show where we did it with the caveat that if Trump gets elected again we're not fucking doing it

[00:00:52] and we were correct to do that I was thinking about the other day just like how many could you honestly do like I like all right the my piece is about I'm gonna fucking arbut wire right now here we go like actually there'd be no life in it yeah I'd be like so folks like I don't know if you know this but a really critical program is being shut down it's like which of the 50 such are you discussing

[00:01:20] and also yeah we said like two episodes ago and our Resident Evil 4 episode that like oh we're not gonna fucking be yapping about Trump all the time again because like you all get it you all get it right we're gonna do it again because we need to complain because here's the thing it's not like analysis I cannot stress this enough this is just like I'm just pissed all the time I walk around

[00:01:46] uh I think of myself as like a sim uh you know in the sims when you play it uh in the top right corner it shows like a little cue of all like the activities your sim wants to do next he's like I want to eat dinner and then I want to watch tv and then I want to sit in that chair you know the chair yeah uh I'm like that but now I just like randomly get like something just shows up in the queue that's just like be pissed yeah like and the the sim cartoonish thing is I like stop my feet and cross my arms and there's a little

[00:02:15] black like cloud of squiggly lines that sort of animates over your head yeah but I just get pissed I uh fucking celery man from Tim and Eric when he's like generate a nude taint he's like fuck I'm okay that's every day like every 30 minutes I'm just like I'm okay yeah um I've said it a few times

[00:02:37] in a joking way but uh I gotta be real real real with you it's not a joke like I feel like on the verge of vomiting like a lot of the time this episode is basically uh if I was employed I could have therapy but I'm not so you have to listen to this um we have speaking of speaking of uh we actually

[00:03:04] have two new patrons to thank before we get further into it our first is Saint Guillotine oh man if only you would normally iffy about Catholics but I am willing to make an exception yes and our next patron is uh Mello Dillo thank you Mello if you are perhaps a resident evil four man from Spain you would

[00:03:28] be Mello Dillo but I'm pretty sure it's Mello Dillo uh thank you Mello Dillo you give us five dollars you get early release and we are still working on a game it's just I forget about it because the part that I have to do is done now it's just waiting on art um and I can't make that go faster well I can but it would be like hello artist I'm sure you're having a great time in this world be more productive

[00:03:56] and it's like no no I can't do that uh I'm so it's shit like shit sucks fucking ass dude uh I saw Maxwell Frost go up to try to get into a government building and a fucking like David the gnome was standing there sort of being like no and he was just like well hmm and I and like he posted that

[00:04:25] as though like we're working for you we're on your side don't don't think we're asleep at the wheel push him down like all right like make them like part of the game which was clear to me and I thought it was clear to everybody is just like uh oh they'll just arrest me yes correct make them do it make them do the thing that has the bad optics make them do it yeah like don't don't you know about the power of an image aren't your aren't your media people who are constantly doing focus

[00:04:54] groups don't they know that like a viral picture of you is helpful and uh the Schumer is like not the man for the moment times 1000 he is ultra instinct man not for the moment uh I like I just did like a Jim Halpert face at God I guess when I saw that he like they're already in the treasury money computer and they're just like fucking ripping out wires and he he's like we're

[00:05:23] thinking about writing a bill that's gonna make it illegal to rip out those wires even though it fucking already is uh and I think the issue there is they think a law is like a spell like if you get it passed anyone doing that activity uh is just they die I guess I don't know uh like I can't believe I cannot believe that like Elon Musk's like physical human body is allowed to

[00:05:53] like do what it's like someone like like literally just grab him like just grab his arm and like don't let him keep walking like is it that hard is it really impossible it's like double helplessness because the people that need to do something are helpless so they're helpless on our behalf and I don't want them to be helpless I want them to and I know there was like a rally outside the treasury

[00:06:18] good the same time like they're still fucking approving all these cabinet people so it's like they don't really like think it's that big like the money computer kind of bad but like business still as usual like Pam Bondi absolutely has to get power so she can do her anti-christian searching uh task force or whatever which that that honestly was the most harrowing thing I've seen recently just

[00:06:46] because one it fucking came like 20 minutes after she like I'm in all right here we go yeah uh and then the other thing is it's it just stacks on top of these other oppressive vectors where it's like what does anti-christian mean it means probably anything gay it means anything trans so like all these things that they're already going after now have like the ag's office stacked on top of it yeah

[00:07:09] so that's like ah and they're just like yeah that's fine I Fetterman is obviously an ogre my understanding is he was like the thing that made it happen uh once again Dr. Oz I owe you such an apology I know you're going to be evil in this other position but in the context of that senate race uh at least you knew how to wear pants well you are an evil man and Fetterman is an evil orc and

[00:07:36] it's just like ah he's getting hit on the head and has a Fred Flintstone change okay like he gets hit he's like no I'm a famous race car driver we need to are there any coconut trees in Pennsylvania that we can maneuver him underneath uh I don't think so the thing that fucking like is especially stupid about like well we're stymied by the fact that we can't enter this government building it's like

[00:08:02] motherfucker was there do you not recall a very famous event where it was clear that not being allowed to enter a government building is not actually a problem like it's not something that that has consequences oh god to speak of January 6th I think I mean it's it's clear that the Democrats are so stupid and so their brains are so corpsified that you know the big takeaway from their reaction

[00:08:30] to January 6th is oh even when they personally are in imminent danger of being murdered that's what I can't get past like they were in there with like zip ties and they were still like kind of like walking around like cattle like there's no sense of self-preservation uh that's what worries me I guess I don't know not that I'm like worried for their safety specifically but it's just like to be

[00:08:57] existing like that while also in theory wielding oppositional power they're not yeah it's just it's mind-numbing yes and I and the sort of justification that one comes up with for that is like okay they're too dumb and too norm brained to ever truly believe that like there is something happening that is dangerous to them that they have to address because they just they just will never

[00:09:26] get it I figured however that they would get a threat to their money because you know that's what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck that's what they're all about it's about their money it's about their insider trading they care about their money that's the whole ball game is the money and then seven Nazi teens just be like we would like read write access to the spreadsheet that says who owns all money I guess

[00:09:54] uh and like can I was asking Joe like do you think they could just like in the in the column in the database that says like who owns this money could they just write me me I can assume uh this has been a very opaque process uh the fact that they're like no they only have read access well also the right but mostly uh it's this element of it is where I'm hung up I think the most uh not to say that the

[00:10:25] fucking transgenocide anti-gay everything that's happening is not insanely scary it's just like the specific mechanism of money that has been appropriated for use like it is gone through the proper channels can get yanked at this last moment even though everyone involved agreed because there's this guy at the computer who doesn't know enough or doesn't care to learn and will say it's got to go

[00:10:49] um like it was clear they were just going through part of this shit that's so frustrating is it's he's just like on axe being like I'm gonna kill this now um but they should go to that building first and they stand in front of the door then when they are easily pushed aside they can be like oh that's the move yes and like he's clearly just searching for

[00:11:16] woke terms uh I believe he shut off funding to believe the biggest employer in South Dakota is like a Lutheran organization I believe it has a name of like progressive Lutheran so and so and because of progressive it like it just is it just gone now like they just cut off funds to it uh I hope your favorite canned soup is Campbell because you can't have progresso anymore the manic aspect of the cutting is the other element too it's not like they are definitely going after stuff they don't

[00:11:44] like but they they've they have actively like harmed folks I thought they were going to try to like keep out of harm's way for the interest of like popularity or support or anything but everything is getting cut indiscriminately they're going after the VA which is like that's like a sacred cow in American it is if there's a sacred cow in American culture it's the troops it's it's the troops specifically the ones that came back and need care and all that shit and like these are like things

[00:12:14] impacts to your point about like don't they care about the money it's like these are also cuts that have impacts on the economy uh he's eyeing Medicare he hasn't done well as to my knowledge nothing yet but the minute you fucking touch that like uh the economy will explode of course people will die but like I'm just talking in their own selfish interests like this is the Deadwood problem like

[00:12:40] this is like Al understands that we're gonna make money if we're not a fucked up pox filled little town uh and uh nothing is being done to do that uh I just really feel like it's over and I don't mean in like a how do I not in like a doomerism way like it's all but I just like

[00:13:07] I feel this was a one-way gate yeah I don't think this is something you can put back in the bottle after you've operated like this and it's only been two weeks yeah uh like fucking the whole thing with USAID just being turned off completely uh it's like that's like um that's like all of US soft power which is not to say that like it's good that the evil empire had a lot of soft power it's good that

[00:13:36] they and I'm not saying that like oh uh it's good to couch all your aid in the uh implication like okay because I did this good thing you have to be okay with all my evil which is what it is but they're still doing good things and like it is still in in the interests of of people who live in this country that there be soft power that it has and uh Elon lives in this country and he was just like I'm

[00:14:02] turning that shit off off and uh our main man Rom we never thought we'd see Rom again he was in Japan learning about JoJo's last we heard uh Rom Emmanuel is back in the news being like we can't we can't fight every battle let them have foreign aid it's red meat and it's like that's like a lot of people are gonna die Rom also if you if you concede to the removal of aid by this mechanism which again

[00:14:32] is not like the right process you're just saying like it's cool that the constitution's not important like you're just like let's get on that track greedily is what Rom is saying yeah yeah there's I'm about to say something to you that I said to you before we started recording verbatim so strap in for review Jo for you at home it's your first time hearing this uh a lot I think I love

[00:14:57] saying uh when someone tells an obvious lie is can't fake that uh because it's just it's so funny to me at least I say it to my wife all the time she humors me into chuckling in a polite way but uh there was like someone online some post somewhere that was like I am so upset that Doge is doing this illegal cuts they're just cutting everything illegally turning off parts of the government

[00:15:22] that we paid for and that have a have a benefit to us and they're they're just turning it off that's so bad and some conservative person responded and was like overreacting much liberal paranoid freak the stated goal of Doge is to review all these programs and find inefficiencies and it's like stated goal can't fake that oh yeah this is like oh our mission statement is we're good we kick ass

[00:15:50] uh and I would like to direct you back to the mission statement yeah and this is let's take what he's saying at face value the stated goal is to find inefficiencies or whatever okay fine uh but the thing that they're they're doing is that they're they're stopping shit and then reviewing to figure out if

[00:16:13] there is inefficiencies and a lot of this stuff has to be continuous and the disruption of it even for review in like invalidates it endangers people yeah whatever whatever it's like like I we it took we'd have we'd have to explain it to Elon in like epic terms it's like you're the guy from Ghostbusters who unplugs the ghost holding machine and makes all the ghosts shoot out because you're like I need to

[00:16:39] review the ghost holding machine and it's like you okay but don't unplug it you understand that you can't unplug the ghost holding machine ah yeah it's it's really fucked up I remember do you remember we've talked about this but you remember that there was like uh this was a fun fact on like reddit in our college days it was like oh this chilling fact didn't know are no sleep when you

[00:17:03] read this chilling fact this genius mathematician from the 20s read the u.s constitution and was chilled by a horrible discovery that he came up with that he never told anyone because if anyone knew it would destroy the society of the united states how scary I know this because uh he he discovered oh this shit's like fake yeah like I don't have to do math at all or anything anyone could have

[00:17:31] noticed this yeah uh you can just like walk into a room and do something uh man oh man norms are crazy uh at some point if you become a norm head you sound deranged mary garland who did nothing and obviously is largely responsible for the situation we're in his like I don't know like statement on it about like what's coming and everything he said like norms like eight times it was like we got to have

[00:18:00] norms we got to have oh man norms norms norms the most important thing norms norms and it's like this is uh it's not a person who's well yeah it's it's joe it's like the flip side of the fact that elon musk is still saying doge like he's still with the fucking doggy meme it's like yeah me and my crew named bad news brian are here to fuck up uh everything yeah yeah we're looking for leeches on the

[00:18:29] government you might call them overly attached girlfriends and we're gonna cut them off uh like yeah it's like i mean meals on wheels is still not happening my neighbor has meals on wheels uh i've not seen the car i i i this is one of those things where it's like uh i want to be hopeful but i want to just be like hey is everything fucked up okay bye yeah uh um it's it's it's grim out there and

[00:18:54] the thing that frustrates me is just because he can't conceive of it or someone doing it it doesn't exist and it has to go and it's just like that's that's literally what the the judge in blood meridian does there's they're like in some cave and they find like some i don't know if it's prehistoric but

[00:19:16] some sort of interesting cave marking from an a while ago and he he like copies it down his notebook and then he like rubs it off the wall and he says anything that exists without my knowledge exists without my permission oh and like that's that's it that's very grim um fuck man you know what else is

[00:19:40] grim i'm gonna read this so there we talked about the uh the nazi doge teens well before i get to the one i just want to the one of them got fired for being like even more racist online than the baseline and they're trying to get him re-established with the uh the sort of pitch is an evil dei journalist woman so like every single word is increasing the rage level just like

[00:20:10] are you are you primed for hate my friends uh an evil dei woman journalist tried to get our noble uh nazi beavis fired uh we need to kill her and reinstate her and jd vance piped in being like it is not acceptable for an activist journalist to get a public servant fired if he's bad at his job

[00:20:35] then he can get fired but he's just fucking like in the computer like a little rat but the thing like the one of the fucking one of the fucking tweets that got him fired was he was saying uh we need more indian hate mr vance mr he's a noted uh indian wife yes so he is a worm right i don't know what

[00:21:00] else to say like that's your kids like that's your he's talking about your kids he wants more people to hate that like again do you have no self-preservation whatsoever are you that loyal to the idea that you're just like i don't care if my family gets killed by a mob i probably won't get killed by that mob yes you will ask fucking mike pence baby uh no this is the one i wanted to say this is by another

[00:21:26] nazi child who uh works for doge this was this was posted this december two months ago are there large language models made specifically for parsing things like documents forms pdfs json html excel etc and converting them from one form to another insane amount of slashes basically all digital objects

[00:21:51] my friend i don't know if you know this but there is a uh you drop down file it'll say save as uh and there's gonna be another drop down and i think that's gonna answer your question right there when you see what that drop down shows what sort of options you have there uh

[00:22:16] this is the programmer so good that right out of college elon could not help but take him into the fold to destroy the country this also speaking of destroying the country uh there's a tweet from our homie dan sheehan that he recently did uh hit hit us very hard it has a super resonated uh joe do you want you want to read this tweet oh yeah yeah yeah i'd be happy to read this wisdom

[00:22:44] uh i am beginning to think that having any memory of a world where things work somewhat well is going to be a massive detriment moving forward just getting slowly driven insane when it takes three tries to mail a letter because i remember that it used to not be like that yes absolutely i have been obviously worried about a lot uh but i have thought about this it's like things just stop working

[00:23:09] and i will just always be nagged by the thought that like i used to be able to do this easy peasy i didn't have to talk to a warlord at all erica our friend erica drives by skewer co-producer uh her husband also a great guy he is romanian and they will occasionally go to romania for visiting family

[00:23:31] and erica will talk about how attempting to do the bureaucratic stuff that is required to follow the rules of romania is absurd and like you will it is is comical the way you will be told conflicting things you will get to the front of the line and they will be like where's your but where's your such and such form and it's like we like i swear to fucking god we asked about that form they said we

[00:24:00] didn't need it it's like well thank you well you're wrong and like they this is paper please stuff like every step of the way yeah yes and like they they when they are like doing these processes they know like we have to have like five times the amount of documents and forms that we've informed we needed and even then they're sometimes left short on the back foot like well we don't fucking what like huh what that's gonna be now and like once you have a government that is so

[00:24:29] corrupt and like the functioning of it like the the very boring like dmv style functioning of it just does not work like that's uh that's democracy over because like you will never get anyone to vote again because the whole thing that the the message that will allow reformers to get into power is like we will change the things that don't work and replace them with things that do work and everyone's

[00:24:58] gonna say no that's not possible first of all first of all how is the election gonna be done competently like how are you i don't believe that anyone working in that is gonna do a good job that's a good filter right now when people talk about 2026 in very well could be like elections i don't think they will be the real deal but when people talk about like the dems in 26 and 28 and

[00:25:26] the senate map and stuff it's just like i feel like that might not be the best use of your time yeah i don't know i just i'm not uh high confidence that it's gonna be normal yeah i mean like there's always the idea that like elon will hack the machines uh i don't know about that maybe

[00:25:51] but like that seems like a kind of cope but like i think the more likely thing is that is very seriously like just the the institutional knowledge and uh like stuff required to do an election is just gonna get hollowed out and there's gonna be fewer people who know less with less resources to actually like figure out who also elections aren't handled at the federal level they're handled at the state

[00:26:19] level which means all you got to do is fuck up a few states right yeah and i'm sure there's plenty of red states that have plenty of people in power who are willing to be like we will collude like let's fuck it up um i guess the thing like the i sound like a history ap history teacher or something it's very lib and very dumb but like i just keep also coming back to the fact that like in what sense

[00:26:47] is this a union if like everybody pays into the the pool and then the guy who's in charge of the pool decides just ah fuck you you're okay fuck you especially when previously there was not uh that sort of uh selective thing because it's not in the constitution uh and i don't care about the constitution please don't like uh because it's if you care about the

[00:27:14] constitution you end up being you get air butted you do because like it doesn't matter uh you keep pointing to shit that doesn't matter the 14th amendment effectively doesn't matter because isn't there one on there that's like you can't have a guy who did a fucking coup yeah so it's like we're not we're not paying attention to that part fine uh so we're just kind of in the territory of not paying attention to other parts and i don't want to sound like an ap history professor but guys your

[00:27:43] essay is due tomorrow and i do not want to see any ai on these uh make sure that you cite real sources uh mla or chicago style i don't care just as long as it's consistent and like there's stuff that's being done that's like i can only see as 100 pure wrecking behavior not like this will benefit a certain group

[00:28:07] this is just like the purpose is wrecking uh yesterday the the bureau of labor statistics was like yeah we're not doing fucking data no more see ya uh and like it's not just like what the unemployment rate is businesses look at that shit because it is useful information that helps them do capacity planning like just you're burning it all down you're burning it all down for not the old

[00:28:35] something of the business people but like you were letting everyone be less effective no one wins here unless the goal is just the fucking level society and it is and uh the the best phrase to uh help me understand that i forget who said this whoever did is one of the great geniuses of all time this entire thing from top to bottom like what is the animating impulse why would they do this what is like is it would you would you call it trumpism well i don't think so because especially now he just seems to be

[00:29:04] like sitting in a chair asleep he's not really a factor these days it's elon the whole thing is two words boss's revenge it is simply like we like i am sick of hearing about the people fuck them i'll kill you and like and with that framing doesn't it all make sense he's just hurting the country he's just

[00:29:31] ripping things out of the wall for fun just destroying so many critical systems why would you do that boss's revenge boss's revenge uh yes what i will say i agree completely and i think this is under the larger category of boss's revenge because man oh man it's a type of revenge uh but one thing i can't stand as i see replies or something people like understand what's happening with the dei stuff but

[00:29:58] then they say oh they're being hypocritical they're doing dei for white people and it's like you fucking moron they're resegregating society you stupid shit like it's not dei for white people the goal is resegregation yeah like just like woke just like pc just like crt you remember fuck remember crt are you fucking kidding me like dei is the n-word like don't you get it they don't actually

[00:30:26] think of it as what it is which is like a program that makes it more likely that non-white people have a fair shot at employment they're saying it's a tool that makes stuff go away they don't like yes yes yes like like why do we why do they hate it so much because they hate black people and they're saying the n-word in code like okay okay do you get it and this is also a push to like make it like

[00:30:53] there are clearly white jobs and black jobs again like this is this is a huge element the whole fucking thing about the airplane crash and it's just like it might have been a black pilot and it's just like why why i mean i know why they think that would matter just because they hate all black people but just like i just does that work on someone who isn't already bought in did does like the average

[00:31:17] low information rube who isn't like completely uh you know already polarized do they hear that and go like yeah i bet a black person would be bad at flying a plane because cartoons always have white people flying a plane and it's like is that real like they know flight school's real like they make you log hours we know that yeah i mean the goal here is to make it so the perception of anyone

[00:31:46] non-white in any job that isn't like something they think is acceptable they can immediately point at and be like oh this was like a courtesy hire this was just them extending uh a nicety but not not real merit obviously not the case uh but that's the goal of it yeah the goal is to make it illegal like if you find if you are like in an office and you see a black person there will be a hotline that you can

[00:32:16] call that will like put the ceo in jail for doing that i mean pam bondy is going after companies that still do dei which is so amazing to me because for many companies dei is like literally like an hour of a module that uh reduces the likelihood that they're going to get like uh harassment lawsuits and stuff it's not like a big like oh social program where we're going to rewire the nuclear

[00:32:42] family it is it is honestly just like a training module the the the thing that is insane is that they're they want to go after employee groups ergs which i've been in places that have ergs i like never cared because it's work uh that said like my last one i was in our last job i did kind of like sign up for one but didn't participate in it but it was just like the erg for people with disabilities and in

[00:33:09] fact it's just insane to think that like yeah no more of that like no more no more grouping based around that it's very it sucks so fucking much i hate the evil you know what we haven't said in a while that i really think needs to be said again especially because it's realer now than it ever was and it was real the first time we said it the devil is fucking real like god's fake the devil's

[00:33:38] real hell isn't real either the devil just here he like walks around he's five four yeah he brings hell with him and he's here so he's like a jockey he's very fast his turning radius is insane he will get you you know how speed runners and mario will uh do backwards jumps over and over and they go like a million miles per hour the devil can do that in real life and he's doing it all the time

[00:34:03] over our great nation uh he's fucking really like the boss's revenge the just the the pain and killing for its own purpose you can't see that and not see that like behind the flesh of their human faces they're allowing like satan to take hold and they love it they are so happy to do it like it's

[00:34:31] oh that i'm getting mad i'm getting mad i'm thinking about chapter black from yu yu haka show the scary vhs tape that contains every sin humanity has ever done since the first monkey stole a grub from the second monkey uh and i'm just like we're watching chapter black every fucking day like we're complaining that we need to complain it's healthy to complain uh they don't want you to

[00:35:00] complain it is a lot of this stuff if you just talk about it you do sound kind of like a crank uh which is something i don't love especially just like any functions downstream from the money computer stuff makes you sound like you're making it up just like he's in the money computer like it's it's it'll obviously be easier to communicate as stuff continues to get cut off and i just don't know it's it's uh the thing that also surprised me

[00:35:31] is like cutting money to like the alphabet agencies with like the the super uh spec ops guys like i don't know i i thought like when you try to like consolidate authoritarian power you'd want like don't you want scary guys yeah like you don't want to be like hello agent 47

[00:35:56] you're unemployed like yeah i i have no maybe he's just everyone is that untouchable and i'm just ignorant uh i just don't know man you could you just ideological capture is so strong amongst the uh insane murderer community that they're just like if if my god satan wishes me to suffer i will oh boy

[00:36:21] like i hope not but it really feels the fact that elon musk still has like the standard number of holes in his head speaks to yeah total ideological capture of the murder arm of the government yeah i just i don't know i you know who really hates when you complain is the democrats did you see that news item going around where someone oh yeah they hate how they're uh getting all these calls lately yes someone was like

[00:36:50] stop calling us you're literally calling the wrong people i assume by that they mean like we're on your side call the republicans oh yeah they're really open to persuasion for sure yeah yeah yeah like hey i know you're getting everything you want uh i'm one of your uh little constituents can you just stop yeah can you make an enemy of all the powerful people who can destroy you out of stroke um

[00:37:18] can you do that for me and like the idea that like you like stop yelling at us we're already on your side it's like you might know like being on a side is an act you know you have to do it not being on the republican side which they are for a lot for in a huge way in many ways but like to just not being on their side does not mean you're on my fucking side and it's like just the idea that like

[00:37:48] we're being uppity by complaining they just don't want you to complain folks they don't and i it's not fair because complaining is so fun and good and it makes you feel better and i haven't felt like vomiting once this entire uh recording session if it you know why because i've been complaining

[00:38:07] if it's good for you do it complain oh can i read i believe the best sort of bracketing of elon musk is a person that i've ever seen this is a really good tweet uh this is from uh farner elon musk is a genius who also happened to get into peppy the frog at age 50 that is a very very powerful statement

[00:38:35] that is what we call a high speech stat yeah this is what the drag queens call getting red to filth he yeah i mean i talked about like how is it that like he's like i will name my agency after an epic meme doge and it's like what year are you in like what is you need to call it the skibbity squad or

[00:39:04] something like get that's even probably out of date i don't think they care about the toilets anymore but his little boys would probably like resonate with the skibbity one better yeah i don't know but yeah just him being 50 and still being so like everything about him is childish he doesn't vary like like literally giant toddler like ethos in the big picture does it matter that he's like taunting

[00:39:33] everyone on his stupid platform with his sideways crying emoji like that's not materially important as like him taking shit away but like he just has to be the ass like he has to be the biggest asshole like you there's there's no other option like what was he doing when he was like 30 not in terms of like business wise but like what was his culture i remember someone oh i know

[00:39:58] who it was it was sarah mckenry she shared a uh post that was some that post it was an article that was like elon musk's five favorite songs let me see if i can find it oh one of them is just like santa claus this is coming to town right just yes bizarre grown in a lab thing it's very clearly

[00:40:19] like he has never listened to music and is just okay oh here they are uh fly me to the moon frank sinatra i like the sense and possibility and it's really inspiring and i'd like to fly to the moon obviously i own a space company um always look on the bright side of life it's a funny song because the character is being crucified at the time but i think it's a good reminder to not get focused on the negative things in life my personal philosophy is i'd rather be optimistic uh america

[00:40:49] fuck yeah from team america this is from that movie team america i'm a big fan of south park they capture a little bit of the essence of america conte partiro by andrea bocelli i'm this one is surprising this is like not all the others are just he sees the titles and he's like yeah that's the thing i like the moon it's an incredibly beautiful song sung really beautifully incredible uh and then of course santa claus is coming to town i don't understand it but it's the song that

[00:41:17] i whistle the most so i guess it's good to have santa claus come to town just like no thoughts nothing happening like i i i uh and i hate this fucker he's i saw someone say this and i i i'm fear that it's true and it's so sad that it is but that he is less psychologically deep that there is less

[00:41:47] to him even than trump which and our thing about trump is that like he's so difficult to make to do like satire about because there's nothing anything there beyond what is visible with your eyes yes like elon musk what is he he does that jump where he sticks all four of his limbs out in a big x like a

[00:42:09] toddler does and he has tantrums and that's it that's his whole thing oh my god wait a minute joe i just got informed there's a leak of one of the buyout emails that elon sends to the federal employees and it says this the reformed federal workforce will be built around four pillars

[00:42:37] he can't keep getting away with this he steals everything that's ours we fucking came up with that you can't not only that we came up with four like before it used to go one two three five and then we thought let's pump the brakes here we can get something in this space the four pillars that he has aren't even good they're return to office that's so oh man i can think of like just

[00:43:03] like you open with it return to office performance culture basically if you're black come on we're firing you um more streamlined and flexible workforce we're firing you and enhanced standards of conduct if you're nice to a black person we're firing you uh all those four pillars are just

[00:43:29] precarity though in different forms yes which you know is obviously boss's revenge yeah here's gonna hear the four things that you're gonna expect when you come back to work it sucks more it sucks more we have more power and you can't complain uh enjoy yeah i mean like enhanced standards of conduct and performance culture is basically just like if you complain we'll fucking kill you which is why again

[00:43:54] complaining is so valuable to do when you can do it that's really what protests are is big complains and that's also why whenever you get some fucking dave weigel type being like um this pro this protest is actually really bad optics it's like don't you understand it's never about optics it's not a show a protest is not a show when people talk like that it sort of to me has always suggested they like imagine

[00:44:21] like we're about to do a protest let's have a meeting first and it's like a lot of the shit is spontaneous it builds up it's not like uh there's not an agenda yes like the point is the government especially a fascister it gets it wants you to take it it wants you to sit there and accept and uh follow the rules and the whole point of a protest is to to basically break out of that system and say

[00:44:51] like i actually hate this i am saying something about it i refuse to comply with the system i am complaining the thing you hate the thing that is never allowed for in the system there's no fascist government that that has a complaints department built in the fact that you are protesting is by its very nature being like i'm fucking sick of being told to follow these rules

[00:45:17] and i am going to say what i think and to be doing that and have dave weigel being like i think you were stupid for saying that it's like fuck you too i'm protesting you now also that is a fun uh sort of super monday morning quarterbacking that still happens we'll they'll be like you know uh occupy wall street could have been more effective if x y or z it's like come on like are you are you suggesting

[00:45:47] that if it was handled little we'd be in a uh a utopia like what the fuck yeah the the sort of obvious answer is like it's people who are ashamed they didn't that they weren't a part of it trying to justify not being a part of it because it wouldn't have mattered if i was a part of it because it wasn't an hour anyway it wasn't really done very well and they hadn't it didn't have good

[00:46:14] optics fucking christ i don't know dude this shit i'm so groceries cost so goddamn much to begin with like from baseline i'm i'm going oof when i buy my food and i'm buying cheap food you know i'm not eating out much i'm not like buying expensive i don't i i buy meat like never i don't even buy eggs really that much and it still costs a fucking lot

[00:46:45] here's the thing you need to eat every day did you know that i can't stand it it really costs a lot it adds up big time like by every metric we're all going to be poorer like just in terms of buying power uh tariffs whatever it's just we're what we're able to get for what we have will continue to get shittier and shittier until of course he uh makes the fdic go away which they floated

[00:47:12] and if that happens i'm like the scariest man at that point can they just take money out of your checking account like at that point like what kit i'm honestly asking like is it just like smash and grab time then when that occurs uh should i is that mattress time i i mean i maybe because like the whole thing about like the bank is that if the bank goes away fdic will give you your money anyway

[00:47:38] and if that's gone and if there's an evil man who has read write access at the treasury and has all of my bank account data and social security number like i feel like it would take like a day of work for elon musk to like reassign every dollar that there is just to him personally and then what are you gonna do the fdic also like benefits business like it is a like it's it's the

[00:48:06] deadwood ale thing it's like we are we are a working town that allows us to function we have these things that uh allow commerce and uh obviously getting rid of it is so they could just do whatever the fuck they want but like they're also fucking over a stable business environment which is one of the things that like america is always never shut up about yeah again like i always say like don't you

[00:48:31] know you also live here like is your house not here like you go to the same grocery store man i you know what i think it is because like i too had this impulse like well once it really harms business there's gonna be real pushback i think that we have too again i think it's just boss's revenge we have too many the people in charge are too dumb they simply don't have the intellectual capacity

[00:49:01] to see their own self-interest much the same way the democrats don't the democrats are in fucking physical danger of death and of all their money going away and they just don't get scared why not and like the these business people like don't you know you're sabotaging the very uh system that allows you to thrive why are you doing this aren't you scared of that they don't know they're too stupid to see the beyond the reach of their own hands and what they want their hands to do is be

[00:49:30] strangling something the people who do understand this maybe they're a little few a few rungs down the corporate ladder uh well joe have you ever had a situation where you have a really obviously good idea that is the better than the idiot idea that the ceo wants to do and you present them the good idea has it ever been thus that the ceo says i was wrong let's do the other one no like so i think truly just

[00:49:59] like i've i am a victim of full ideological capture and i will immolate my own livelihood for the sake of the project of evil i think that just is how it is with a lot of these fucking people yeah i yes i i the thing is it i just it's like pain everywhere there's just pain coming in every vector for every everyone in different ways of course i mean i i'm clear that certain people are being targeted but the

[00:50:28] it's just like indiscriminately raining down misfortune and just destroying state capacity just like everywhere it's possible to talk about indiscriminate pain everywhere i want to read a quote from a wall street guy who is really excited about the trump administration and is happy

[00:50:53] about what's happening is a banker i feel liberated said a top banker we can say our word except he didn't say our word and pussy without the fear of getting canceled it's a new dawn what kind of loser couldn't say pussy i'm sorry you don't even get that bleeped out on tv like you could say pussy um but

[00:51:17] it's just like that's like oh that's it like that's the thing that motivates you that's the thing that you want your gut i was about to say you want your government to do that like makes you feel proud to be an american there's no like nothing government about it you can say the r word like you can't it just is now that like you get high-fived it's just kind of like we all agreed that we're gonna get

[00:51:44] meaner like and that's that is the trump administration like we like we all got together me and the boys because it's the boys you know it's the boys me and the boys got together and we decided like we're gonna fucking beat you up all the time something kind of harrowing pointed out to me was the median trump staffer was in middle school for the first term man you like understand yeah right

[00:52:14] so you're like we oh boy oh boy i mean another another fucking angle that dan sheehan's tweet about it's going to be a detriment to have memories of the world working these kids these fucking nazi children have no trouble doing this because again they don't know that like that it ever worked i mean it didn't i want to be clear it didn't ever work there was never

[00:52:38] anything but massive inequality and injustice in america but like it used to be that like the irs would find tax fraud among rich people and get money from them now it's just like well that's not gonna happen used to be that like there were like engineering departments that would like keep uh i think there is like i saw a video about this there's some like crazy engineering solution that

[00:53:05] keeps a certain type of invasive uh fish that's in the chicago river out of the lake uh what happens when the people who are in charge of that get fired like the fish gets in the lake and then like well it'll never be out of the lake ever again like that's and they just don't know that like it matters like it matters that this shit and like also just yeah let's let's say you turn it back on you turn back on funds for river fish guy okay well it's been a while and river fish guy has moved

[00:53:35] to find a new fucking job because uh you ruined his life and also like died or he died yeah that's that's the fucking thing about like um he's just doing efficiency reviews that's why he turned off all these programs so he can check to see if they're efficient it's just like if if the democrats

[00:53:57] somehow pulled off an incredible a political move and got us aid completely reinstated with the exact same amount of funding like next month i'm sorry like do you think that you're going to be able to hire back every single person and get them back right back to what they were doing it's like no no like things have changed in a huge way and it requires like a full rebuild from square one

[00:54:23] which is so fucking hard especially because nothing is built in this country in the same way that i can't imagine there ever being a train in chicago being built i can't i can't imagine the u.s government spinning up a functioning department that actually does a real thing it'll i think we can turn it around

[00:54:43] though you think yeah yeah i think we just need uh gumption uh gumption okay yeah uh it's been an hour we've been complaining for an hour are we done we're done i feel bad like i feel good but i still feel bad like i just took it just a demonic shit like it's i'm free from the bad thing but it's gonna build

[00:55:09] back up this is why you have to make a habit of complaining legitimately like yeah like part of why i always feel like i'm about to vomit is just yeah like it feels like i'm getting filled up and up and up and up with evil and like what do you want me to do with this like i don't i don't live in dc i can't stand in front of a building and yell and i just feel like i and the the you know shovel fulls of evil keep coming even though i've already i'm already full i can't take anymore

[00:55:40] and as useless as it is to fucking moan and complain it helps it empties oh it absolutely does you gotta complain you gotta complain about one thing i wanted to start potentially on the discord maybe i'll do this is a channel that's for complaints specifically that are small it's like the world is so bad right now it's really a pain in the ass to like complain about little stuff because there's obviously much worse shit there should be a space for just like dude the mouse button is really making a weird noise i can't fucking stand this

[00:56:12] i mean yeah that's easily done just call it like small grievances yeah ah people don't want you to complain they'll yell at you they'll say stop complaining never stop fuck that that's the trick though you can complain on this bitch of an earth if you're funny about it that's the real truth of the matter yeah that's why we're the most healthy men who ever lived

[00:56:38] yeah my back doesn't hurt for sure you're not wearing a strange homemade brace to uh keep your arm from going in the wrong position oh this rap this is actually a mummy starter oh okay oh this is actually really smart because elon if you look at his five favorite songs you know once he gets to the fifth one he's like one song that i hate is king tut by steve martin

[00:57:03] because mummies are so scary to me and if i ever see one i'll die immediately so we need to all become mummies and learn the mummy's curse and uh get out of this folks uh anyway that's all right anime sickos this week i've been tom and anime sicko i've been joe and anime sicko we'll see you next time bye bye thank you for listening to anime sickos i've been tom a sicko you can follow me on blue sky
