"Misogyny & Not Listening" · Biggest Global Issue at the No Kings Denver Protest

0:00A: Camera on that thing?

0:01B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the camera right here.

0:03A: That’s legit. Can I be a nerd?

0:05B: Yeah, you can be a nerd. You can hold it if you want to. You can be the camera person.

0:09C: Yeah, let’s all just be the camera person. It sounds way better.

0:12B: DJI Osmo Pocket 3.

0:14C: No, no, no.

0:15D: Go that way.

0:17B: Yeah.

0:18A: This is the model.

0:19D: Got it.

0:21A: The homies. So guys, this week’s question is, what’s the biggest issue going on in the world right now?

0:34B: Definitely not this. There’s no microphone, so you gotta stand closer to it, but it can pick it up.

0:40D: No one can be free until we are all free, and it begins with misogyny. 50% of the population, roughly, are women, and women have never truly been liberated in all of human history. Um, maybe Sumerian, you can dig back. But it’s shortcut and not enough. I believe the biggest issue today is misogyny. We need to -- in order for us to treat everyone like they are something, we must start on a base genetic level. We need to start with respecting people the way they are built. I would like to say it’s 2026. March, and the word retard -- pardon my language -- has made quite the comeback. And I think --

1:33A: Didn’t know that.

1:34D: It has, especially -- I’m 23. Um, among Gen Z, it’s more socially acceptable now, and I think that’s because the mechanics of fascism are memonic. It’s all, it’s all memes. Um, it’s how it has been, it’s how it always will be.

1:53A: Like, that’s how --

1:54D: That’s how woke girls That’s how tough-ass motherfuckers grow up. It sucks. Pardon me, I’m kind of drunk and stoned. But the biggest problem in the world today is that people like to be bigger than other people, and it’s ridiculous. Take a -- smoke a joint. Take a gram of mushrooms if that’s what what it fucking takes. People are people no matter what. And it’s -- that’s the biggest issue today. No one can be free, again, as I started, because no one is free.

2:39A: It’s --

2:39D: we’re all locked into this ridiculous system built of social constructs that means nothing but breath. It’s ridiculous. Wake up.

2:55B: Beautiful.

2:56A: Man of the hour.

3:00B: Are you still asking people a question?

3:01A: Yes.

3:02B: Okay, who’s next?

3:03A: You could be next.

3:04B: I’ve already answered the question, but they have your thoughts. I have my thoughts on my YouTube, but I can’t answer for you. Always offers different context, I realize.

3:12A: Yeah, I’d love to know what your idea thought is.

3:15B: I think it’s that people aren’t listening to each other enough. Listening to each other enough.

3:19A: Okay.

3:19B: I think we think we know a lot, and we like have a lot of defined. opinions and conceptions of things, and we don’t really want to be challenged. And I think that we’re not really listening to each other just to understand each other. We always are like listening to agree or disagree, dispute, be right or be wrong, and nobody wants to be wrong. So we’re listening to prove other people wrong, and I just think that’s not ideal. I think we should just be trying to understand what we see as the same and what we see as different and trying to talk more about why -- maybe why we think -- see things differently in the first place. So I think for me that’s like the biggest thing. And then it’s like economics.

3:56A: You know what I always say?

3:58B: Yeah, go ahead.

3:58A: Which, uh, I’ve said it a couple times tonight. I don’t know, I mean, you’re free to agree or disagree, but my personal way to relay points is metaphors. So what I usually say is we’re all soups. What’s your favorite soup?

4:14B: I like clam chowder.

4:16A: Clam chowder, that’s a good choice. Okay, my, my soup is loaded baked potato soup.

4:22B: That sounds cool.

4:23C: Okay.

4:24A: Just because my favorite is loaded baked potato doesn’t mean that I gotta shit on your soup. Just because you like clam chowder doesn’t mean that you gotta shit on my baked potato soup. Because at the end of the day, we’re both soups, both flavorful, both deserve a space at the table.

4:40B: Absolutely, absolutely. It’s a potluck. It should just be a potluck, right?

4:42D: Yeah.

4:44B: Eat what you want. Don’t eat what you don’t want.

4:45A: Yeah, we all have a rotation. You know what I mean? I mean, there’s a season for everything. There’s times we eat a lot of butternut squash.

4:54C: soup.

4:55B: That’s true.

4:56A: Pumpkin soup.

4:56B: Yeah, that’s what I grew up on.

4:58A: You know what I mean? That doesn’t reduce its value any -- anymore. Or you could dislike loaded baked potato soup, but that doesn’t reduce its value either. And I could dislike clam chowder. Doesn’t reduce its value. It still deserves just as much space at the table.

5:14B: Yeah, and I just think it’s like -- it’s like dignity, right? It’s like, I think that’s what I’ll call space at the table. It’s like, it all deserves dignity because it’s all like a product of some human experience and context. It’s not like they just pull that shit out of their ass and they’re like, hahaha. You know, it’s like, it’s just a person.

5:27C: Yeah.

5:27B: So, you know, I think we gotta humanize these perspectives, and I think we gotta listen to each other to actually have that happen. And I think, you know, there’s also a lot of people who are just hiding, you know? And so I think we gotta be able to identify people who are bullshitting us as the general public. And I think as long as we’re not even aware that there’s people who are trying to bullshit us as the general public all the time, we’re kind of fucking, you know, jerking ourselves off and not really living life. Brilliant.

5:52A: Michael, want to give your thoughts?

5:55C: What do you want?

5:56A: Your biggest issue.

5:58C: My biggest issue? It’s the war, of course. It’s no laughing matter, I’ll tell you. These motherfuckers, they’re putting our heads on the platter, and for what? I didn’t vote for this. It’s not even legal, and they’re gonna Just gamble with like nuclear war and shit? And like China and Russia, like actual world war? Like the greatest atrocities in human history, we’re just like rolling the dice? Fuck that. This is our fucking country. We didn’t even vote for this shit, and we’re paying for it somehow. Like they literally hijacked it. So, you know, you know, put an end to that shit. worldpac.org/peace.

6:48B: I was asking a question. I was just asking them a question. Oh yeah, do you want to give your answer?

6:56A: I mean, I could.

6:58B: Yeah, why not?

6:58A: I didn’t give my own. I could have turned it, huh? Could I turn it?

7:02B: Yeah, yeah, maybe like --

7:03A: yeah, I could have turned it potentially.

7:05B: Here, you can still do it. Do like a self-tape.

7:08C: Yeah, okay.

7:08B: Introduce yourself. Like, now, now you’re the video journalist at hand.

7:12A: Um, well, he says I have to introduce myself. So this is like first time for me. Let’s go. So, uh, my idea of what -- my perception of what the biggest issue in the current world right now is, the lack of kindness.

7:25C: Yeah.

7:27A: Genuinely.

7:30C: Why?

7:31A: Because we’re all different. We’ve all experienced different things. We’re all going different places, yet we all deserve the same amount of rights No one is better than anybody. We’re all gonna have our day, our last day, and we all have our first day, and we all make memories in between. So I feel like we need to be more compassionate and kind towards each other and lack kindness.

7:59C: Actually, I agree. Why?

8:00A: Because evil is prospering. Evil is prospering.
