00:00Hi guys, we're gonna talk about Taylor Swift endorsement to Kamala Harris
00:04However, we are going to start further back to explain the power dynamics between men and women
00:11Feminism and masculinity and about the values of right-wingers versus Democrats and of course as usual
00:18Low power high power as we like it more in general right-wings value power masculinity and winning
00:25right-wing also openly or
00:28Subconsciously in line with social darwinism such as the strong ones survive reproduce and win and the weak one dies
00:36That's how it goes. That's the mindset of the republicans of right-wingers and conservatives
00:41And we should not try to change that. That's how it is
00:45And it's also good if the weak one dies because the stronger can keep going
00:50Otherwise if we force the survival of the weak we all pay a price
00:55Democrats instead are seen as lower power communal such as we help each other
01:01The weak don't have to die weak are still part of us. We help them out
01:05That's what we do because we show love to everybody
01:09Independently of how strong or not so strong they are right-wingers are also communal but in a different way again
01:16They look at society more through the power perspective
01:20Such as we bend together as a society to be more powerful and to project power
01:26And this is where also children play a role in the right-wing mindset children for right-wingers are also about power
01:34By the way, just to be clear i'm not saying that right-wingers do not love not at all
01:39But i'm saying that they also consider the power perspective and there are two ways for which children are about power
01:46Number one, it's about individual power with a child. You have a hair that hair is also genetic hair
01:52It's a little copy of you and it projects your power into the future
01:57And it's also cultural here because it keeps expanding hopefully or at least it keeps going
02:03What you have built during your lifetime your work your mission, etc, etc
02:07And the second point about the social power having more children. It's more power for the tribe
02:14It's more warriors that can fight it's more people that can work and grow your gdp your country your nation
02:20The power of the country for the right-wingers is also your power because you are part of that tribe
02:27And this is where the issue of childless women hits the right-wingers because the childless woman
02:34Is a threat one
02:36It's a threat to the individual because the more women decide not to have children the harder it becomes
02:42For men to have a hair and number two
02:45It's a social threat for power projecting because less children means lower power for your tribe
02:54Fewer warriors a weaker economy china that overtakes you or that other next country that might take your spot
03:01As the number one global superpower. This is why
03:06Republicans far more than democrats care so much about women
03:10Deciding whether to have or not have children because it impacts their own power projection
03:17Calling women childless cat lady is a shaming power move
03:22It's a way of shaming the woman as a loser if you can shame her then fewer women will choose that path
03:30So more women have children which as we've seen it's good for the republican mindset
03:36Now let's understand this shaming power move a little bit more as we said
03:41republicans and right-wingers
03:42Have the value of winning and the childless cat lady is the emblem of failure
03:49The cat lady is the equivalent of the male incel the involuntary
03:55Celibate he is the guy who cannot get a woman complete total failure
04:00genetic dead end
04:02And the cat lady is that equivalent for a woman which is even worse because on paper
04:08It's easier for women to find a partner. Now, let's link back to the
04:142024 election in this environment the democrats are lower power
04:18Look, I don't know how to say this without being a dickhead
04:22So, please understand that what i'm describing is how things work, but it doesn't mean I like them
04:29It doesn't mean I stand behind them or I encourage them. It's just how things are
04:34So when tim waltz discussed ibf the frame was still low power. Why?
04:41Because masculinity is also about virility and it's also about fecundity and the ability to have children
04:48If you are talking about your difficulty in having children
04:52That's weak. This is only in a descriptive way. Okay
04:56Even at the democratic convention, this was a very touching moment and at the same time it was super weak
05:05So this is a guy a man crying I don't want to use adjectives
05:10But but this is not high power. You're not going to attract the young high testosterone man with this approach
05:17And this is why the democrats are struggling so bad with younger men, especially the ones who like joe rogan
05:24Um, mma, etc, etc
05:26Now, let's see again what happened after jd vance made that comment about cat less loser ladies
05:32What happened is that one of the first women to respond jennifer honeston her
05:38Frame was I hope jd vance children will never struggle to have children because then he will realize how difficult it is
05:45That is very good. She made a point very touching. I completely agree with her
05:50From a power and winner perspective
05:53So this was still framed as low power democrat angle and he was still high power
05:59Why because honeston did not choose not to have children. She did not
06:05Manage to have children while she wanted children. So again
06:10I don't want to sound as a dick. I feel for her. I wish she could have had the children she wanted
06:16But within the power dynamics winner loser perspective
06:20She was not a winner
06:22So this was still a win somewhat for the democrats towards a certain part of the population
06:28But from a power point of view, it was still not good
06:32but now this is where
06:35Taylor swift changed the dynamics why because it's not anymore a loser frame, but it's a high power winner frame
06:42Number one she chose not to have children so far
06:46number two
06:47She's a fucking genetic jackpot. So you cannot frame her as
06:53Being a loser cat lady because she's stunning beautiful blue eyes blonde tall thin
07:01High power hyper successful super energetic again
07:05She's a genetic jackpot man
07:07Like him would love to have a female partner like her and have children like her
07:12So this is more like a high power feminist. Fuck you
07:15You cannot attack her based on power
07:19And this is good for the democrats because they need to make up the power gap with the right wingers
07:25Speak soon. Cheers guys. Ciao. Ciao
