0:23write Memoirs of Holocaust yeah yeah
0:25their families are kind of messed up
0:27right uh like my family is very messed
0:30up I mean if you go through a trauma
0:32like the Holocaust they teach that
0:34trauma between Generations you know what
0:36I mean well I mean trauma very often in
0:38a lot of circumstances passed down I
0:40mean I know some kids of KOST survivors
0:41who now fantastic and some who didn't I
0:43mean yeah yeah yeah okay so you are
0:45officially woke that is what wokeness is
0:48about it's like uh you know people's
0:51grandparents or their great grandparents
0:54were slaves well it's okay no it's okay
0:56you I'm talking guys I I actually
1:00hear I want to hear it's okay it's okay
1:02I I want I want to hear let's at least
1:04hear the argument let's Okay so let's
1:05let's hear it let's hear it go what he
1:06wants to hear me I do want to hear it
1:08it's fine let him go let's hear it come
1:09on just you know explain how that's woke
1:13so I mean the whole thing is is like oh
1:17let's see so
1:20during silent Cal Calvin kage's
1:23Administration do you know about like
1:25the great Mississippi SW back in the
1:271930s I understand that American his
1:29history is filled with racial evil yeah
1:31yeah yeah and and that causes some
1:33intergenerational trauma which affects
1:35people's ability to be you know okay so
1:37let me things like that fine so let me
1:40ask you a question why so if the idea is
1:43that history has consequences of course
1:45that's true that's not woken that is not
1:47wokeness What wokness suggests is that
1:49fundamental institutions in American
1:51society are so
1:53yes I ran Elizabeth Warren's campaign I
1:57helped organize her volunteers around
1:58here
2:01I am I am a representative of wokeness
2:06and that's just this is all it is well I
2:09mean like I mean I I you know when I
2:13when I went to go get my first tattoo
2:15the guy had lightning bolts and 88s
2:18tattooed on his neck and as a Jewish
2:21person that's really messed up it's it's
2:23basically a threat there are there are
2:25racist people who exist the argument
2:27that you're making and I'm going to
2:28close with this because this is going
2:30weird directions and I don't really want
2:31it's I don't really want to just hold up
2:34a second I I let you get out your
2:35arguments now it's time for me to
2:36respond cuz I let you say okay I'll let
2:38you respond but no no not but now's my
2:40turn you you are not characterizing what
2:44I'm saying accurately now now it's now
2:46it's my turn your your your definition
2:48is inaccurate the reason your definition
2:50is inaccurate is because any sentient
2:51human being would acknowledge that
2:53history has consequences but if the idea
2:55is but that's not what wokeism is
2:56wokeism is a different thing wokeism
2:58suggests that all inequality of today
3:00are attributable to not only historic
3:02injustices but also continuing
3:04injustices in the now and that all
3:06dispari Des like that but a conservative
3:10a conservative is the only person and I
3:12want to know why why is it that
3:14conservatives are the only people who
3:16desine it like that why are
3:17conservatives the only people okay so
3:20we're going to have to we're going to
3:21have to stop here because this is going
3:22nowhere but what's up well I'm going to
3:24have to stop with this with you because
3:25this is going nowhere all I'm going to
3:27say is this some
3:32perspective just one more second a it's
3:36a on a fundamental on a fundamental
3:38level you shifting definitions to avoid
3:40the consequences of your own argument
3:42and if the idea
3:46is and and final and final point being
3:51and final point if you going to if you
3:53are
3:55also also just final points to sum up
3:58there
4:06final point is I can follow that yeah
4:09one I just want to make honestly I want
4:10to make one final point to sum up there
4:12if the idea is that traumas of the past
4:15invariably bleed down into the presence
4:17that does not explain why certain groups
4:19that have been historically not only
4:21marginalized but slaughtered in Mass
4:22genocide are some of the most successful
4:24groups in our society so if the idea is
4:32if the idea is that past trauma always
4:34equals current inequality or that my
4:36actions in say robbing a convenience
4:38store are attributable to bad actions
4:40that happened in Alabama in 1930 the
4:43answer to that is no don't Rob the
4:44convenience store the only way they
4:46going to be able to break the chain of
4:47history is to make good decisions what
4:50what people on the left don't like to
4:51talk about is actual Solutions what they
4:53like to do is about problems that
4:54existed 60 years ago and blame those for
4:56failures to solve them now
4:59oh
