I don't just want to make a video about what's going on in Iran to prove a point about Israel, but I think it does demonstrate a broader point about the true motivations of what animates these people on the left and across the political spectrum who've been speaking out against Israel, against America, against the West. When you see these protest groups lecturing Iranians or Venezuelans or even some Gazins about where they should stand on the issue, when you see these radical protest groups supporting Kamas or Maduro or the Ayatollah, what it actually shows is that this was never about Zionism or Israel or Kamas or apartheid or genocide or oppression or suffering of innocent people at all. As far as these movements go, it was simply about one thing, them and their cause, their self-indulgence, their narcissism to feel virtuous. All these oppressed people they claim to be advocating for, they're just pawns, abstractions in a cause to make these people feel virtuous. And you can tell that that's the case because none of them are actually affected by the causes they advocate for. You mean to tell me a lot of these upper middle class college kids are affected by Palestinians suffering in Gaza or the conditions in Venezuela or what's going on under the Iranian regime. No, but they are all causes they can use to get behind to feel important, virtuous, like they have an orientation. Think about what the actual flesh and blood human beings stand to gain from the collapse of Maduro. The people of Venezuela who've been oppressed by him. What they stand to gain. The Iranians marching in the street, what they stand to gain, a future, a freedom, and prosperity. But what do these radical protest groups stand to lose if those things happen? They lose their cause, their sense of virtue, their orientation, and they're not going to let that happen. Everything they stand for is not on behalf of supporting any other groups other than themselves. And when you take those causes away, if hopefully the Iranian people can defeat the regime that's been oppressing them and the Venezuelan people can thrive in a new chapter of freedom, the far-left loses. It not only will demonstrate that their ideologies are wrong, flawed, unethical, immoral, but these so-called causes they claim to care about no longer exist, and they're not going to let that happen so easily. The need to feel virtuous, the self-indulgence, the narcissism, that's what drives them. There's nothing easier than standing for or against something that has no real consequence to you in your life. They continue sipping their lattes and matcha teas and go on living while feeling virtuous and important and good. As far as they're concerned, they can't take that away from me. So don't be fooled. They don't care about the flesh and blood human beings, the individuals that seek to gain so much from defeating their actual oppressors to live in a pro-western, pro- prosperity, pro- capitalist world. Cuz then what's there to be against? This has never been about advocating for marginalized or oppressed peoples. It's been about advocating for their sense to feel good while doing so.
