Ep. 258 – Melonie Mac: e-Girl Hack & Christian Zionist Quack
351 Plays1 month ago
This week we’re taking a look at one of the most annoying “pick me” grifters I’ve found in a while: Melonie Mac. She got her start as a gaming streamer and got a little traction in the industry hosting for IGN, but sometime in the late 2010’s she made a hard shift into a red-pilled, antifeminist, Christian conservative and managed to get herself blackballed from that community. Since then, she has declined in viewership and relevance, desperately trying to stay visible on the internet with clickbait headlines, thirst traps, and of course mediocre Christian brainrot. There’s a lot to unpack about her, but we’re going to focus on one video in particular that made my blood boil… Enjoy the show!

Opening Thoughts on Disingenuous Curiosity
00:00:00
Speaker
So that's why this feels so disingenuous. it's It's it's let me let me fix this. Let me fix this. Approach conversations with a feigned curiosity, not combativeness. Pretend like you're asking good faith questions.
00:00:14
Speaker
Listen more than you speak. So that way you can plan for how to sway them better later. Be the kind of person who actually that people actually want to engage with so you can bait and switch them.
00:00:26
Speaker
Be curious in the way that like, you know, you want to understand their point of view, not curious in the sense that you are open to changing your view. Right. Be curious in the way that you're bi curious.
00:00:39
Speaker
Don't actually act on it. Just post it on on Facebook during Pride Month.
Introductions on 'Grown Up Christian'
00:01:04
Speaker
Hello and welcome to Grown Up Christian. I'm Casey. And I'm Sam. And I had an interesting thing happen today. So I was, I had to deliver a bunch of transmission fluid for one of my guys.
00:01:18
Speaker
And on my way back, I'm driving back towards home. And I'm in Topeka, like where you connect to the turnpike. And I'm going around the corner, getting onto the onto the highway. And I just feel something like shift in the back.
00:01:34
Speaker
And I've got probably 100 gallons of transmission fluid and a big plastic tote and then a big heavy-duty pump. Like, ah you know, like a big fluid transfer pump.
00:01:46
Speaker
Okay. All of which really needs to stay put. It can't be moving around back there. so Why will it explode? It'll just cost a lot of money to replace and potentially involve a lot of really bad environmental cleanup.
00:02:01
Speaker
no Yeah, and that doesn't actually matter anymore. um We don't there's no prioritization of the environment now. So we're I mean, you'll be fine there.
Environmental Sarcasm and Lost Wallet Adventure
00:02:11
Speaker
Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure you get a bonus just for dumping that all over the ground.
00:02:17
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, why save anything for posterity? Yeah, um you know, ah RFK, he's he's dishing out federal subsidies for people who who accidentally lose a bunch of hazardous fluid in public areas.
00:02:29
Speaker
Yeah, really coming through for me on that stuff. Yeah, did almost 100% the opposite of what you were expecting.
00:02:39
Speaker
So I pull over on the on-ramp. And I'm like tightening down the straps and everything. And I look down and there's a wallet on the ground, like a lady's wallet, you know?
00:02:51
Speaker
And I thought it I figured it was trash. So I pick it up and start looking at it. and I open it up and like there's a lady's driver's license in there. and her social security card and her WIC card and like credit cards, everything else like it's a social security card.
00:03:08
Speaker
That's like the number one rule is you do not like you don't you don't carry that in your wallet. No, no, it's not a good idea. If you're listening to this and that is something you currently do, you really should take it out of there because at least one little part of your life won't be a total disaster if you do lose your wallet or have it stolen.
00:03:28
Speaker
Like you. ah that that's enough to upend someone's and entire life. Yeah. I'm, I'm sure it was. I don't know what the process is for a place in like your wick card or something, if it gets lost, but sure. Imagine most of the other things are less complicated, but like if a less upstanding citizen found that you, I mean, does it look, I'll even give whoever else it could be the benefit of the doubt. You find someone who's like really down on their luck, their backs against the wall.
00:03:57
Speaker
They're out of options. Yeah. that That could have been a really good person at one point in their life, but they will make a terrible decision in that moment. And statistically, that's way more likely to happen now, given the state of affairs.
00:04:11
Speaker
I think everybody's done something like that at some point, like stolen something or whatever, and then it just like lives in your brain forever afterwards. Yeah, I have friends that are ah that still steal groceries at self-checkout into their 30s because of their financial situation. um You just steal valor, right?
00:04:32
Speaker
Yeah, I love stolen valor. Yeah. I usually wear like, um like, ah i you know, what's funny, people like old dudes aware, like their Vietnam hats.
00:04:45
Speaker
And that was a disaster. But they're like, I'll roll with it. No one's wearing Iraq war hats. Those aren't a thing. The desert, like Iraq War One, you see people wearing hats and stuff of, but... Not Bush's.
00:04:59
Speaker
Not bush George W's. I think that generation is more just like, I've got a Marine Corps sticker on the back of my truck or whatever. Right. Boomers gotta to have it up front.
00:05:11
Speaker
There's no ah War on Terror hats. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth hat. Yeah.
00:05:21
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that would be good.
00:05:25
Speaker
So, ah yeah, so I i've look at it. I'm like, ah what do I do with this? You know, I Googled the lady and it's not like you can find a phone number anymore or anything.
00:05:35
Speaker
So I looked her up on Facebook and I messaged her. But, you know, you can't really be sure that messages are going to get through to people now because everybody screens them and stuff. Right. So I just saw on her profile that she worked at Taco Bell.
00:05:49
Speaker
And there was only two Taco Bells in the town that she lived in. So I called both the Taco Bells and asked for her. And one of them was like, ah yeah, she's not here now. And I'm like, well, I found her wallet on the side of the highway. Like, I don't have a good way of contacting her. I'm like, can I just bring it there and like leave it with you guys to give to her?
00:06:11
Speaker
He's like, yeah, yeah, sure. Bring it by. So went in and dropped it off. And, ah you know, it was just kind of like, I don't know. i hope it gets there from here. It's got a better chance of getting there now than it did, you know, an hour ago. Yeah. On the side of the highway. that didn't even happen.
00:06:28
Speaker
Like, I think she she didn't. So I ended up talking to the lady. She called me on Messenger after that, like an hour later. She's like, you found my wallet?
00:06:39
Speaker
It's like, yeah. She's like, it's been missing a month. Oh, my God. My whole life is in there. Whoa. A month. Yeah. yeah And I think what she must have done is like she was putting groceries in the car or strapping her kid in or something. She probably left it sitting on the top of the car, took off driving. And that when it when she went around that corner, it flung off into the ditch.
00:07:01
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. That's the only thing I could think of. i Like it's I didn't think of that right away either. My first thought was like, don't know, maybe she has like a really awful boyfriend and he just hucked it out. the way That was my exact first thought. She got in a fight with somebody who was in the passenger seat and he launched it Maybe she's being trafficked and I'm about to Liam Neeson her out of the back of a truck or something like
Reflections on Acts of Kindness
00:07:27
Speaker
that. Yeah, I don't think I don't think our ah federal government cares about that anymore either. But no, no, no, no. We're pretty content with the way things are and the way things were. Yeah.
00:07:38
Speaker
So, yeah, the lady got her wallet back. So that was nice. Well, look at you, man. just I know. Can we just take a moment to marvel at like what a great guy i am that I like picked up something on the side of the road and that you even saw it. but I mean, if you want to talk about God's providence, I don't know. i Are you feeling that tug at your heart?
00:07:59
Speaker
A little bit. You know, it's hard growing up to really know, like, what's my calling? What am I supposed to do with my life? I think I found it and I think it's over now. Yeah, it was short lived, but you'll be able to hold on to that for the rest of your life.
00:08:15
Speaker
that would That's a great boomer thing to do is just to every year, twice a year, remind your kids of the time that you found a wallet and you gave it back. Yeah, that's like that's the one you tell your grandkids when you see them once a year on Christmas.
00:08:31
Speaker
My grandpa likes to tell me about random waitresses and stuff that he's given money to the years. Yeah, like the nice tip. He's a sweet guy. That's a thing that he does where he'll be like,
00:08:44
Speaker
Well, so-and-so, you know, she was really struggling, so we always, you know, we always try to take care of her, give her a little something. I know you've told me this story a million times. And how do you know that?
00:08:57
Speaker
Because she tells you, if feel like, I mean, that's a great move on her part. I hope she was doing just fine and just gave your grandfather the satisfaction of feeling like he did something good. You know, like, yeah. Oh, I can see that these older gentlemen at this table are, ah are ripe for the picking. And she tells a little so sob story and they're like, they're back there every Friday night, leaving her 40% tips. Yeah.
00:09:21
Speaker
what's What's the best story you can think of? like If you're a waitress and you want to like you want to squeeze a boomer out of a big tip, be like... um A boomer? You have to hedge your bets because if you're single like sometimes a single mom story works really well, but other times it's because they'll automatically assume that you've been living a life of sin.
00:09:43
Speaker
You have to make it clear that you are a single mother because you left an abusive spouse. Yeah. And maybe shy away from that because it's possible that they might think you should have gone to a church for reconciliation counseling before that. And if so, if you didn't hit that road stop along the way, you might not garnish the same level of sympathy, but i I would say a cheating spouse, serial cheater would be... Ah, that's a good one. Yeah, you have to go with that because that is the only ah real sanction in the Bible on like why like but why you would be able to divorce. you know Now, of course, there are plenty of Christians who have come around to... like
00:10:23
Speaker
a man beating his wife is certainly a great reason to do that. But some people are still, uh, some people are still holding strong on that aspect of biblical literalism.
00:10:33
Speaker
And, um, once in a while somebody plants their flag on that one and it's a confusing move from a PR perspective. Like there, there are other places where you could like, you could think that you shouldn't, but you could, I mean, I'm not the thought police, uh, but like,
00:10:47
Speaker
just given where the world we live in, like maybe don't go there so quickly. Maybe like, yeah, plant your flag in something a little bit, a little bit more important to your faith directly. When you spend a lot of your life being concerned about how unfair it is that women leave their husbands who beat them, it makes me ask questions about the quality of husbands that
Biblical Literalism and Modern Interpretations
00:11:12
Speaker
you might be. They're like, well, and it could it's not I'm not suggesting they definitely beat their wife up. But like if they're holding on to that, it's because they know they're a terrible husband and they're like, well, I don't beat her. So she can't like, you know, it's like I'm better than that guy.
00:11:28
Speaker
um It gives him a little bit more like I'm doing just fine. i haven't done the two things that the Bible says maybe not to do. i'm going ah ah okay I'm going to go a different direction then. Let's just skip all the complicated stuff and let's say I'm working my way through law school so that someday I can fulfill my dream of working at the Heritage Foundation. o that's That carries some weight with the right audience for sure.
00:11:54
Speaker
I want to be a professor at PragerU.
00:12:00
Speaker
I'll make a stop at Grand Canyon University along the way just to just to build up my resume. Barry Weiss still doing the like the Austin College or University of Austin or whatever that she was a heading up for a while?
00:12:16
Speaker
I don't know. i didn't I didn't know that she was heading it up. Is it a department? that she was heading up. I don't know if it was an actual college she was trying to start or if that's what just what they called it. And it was like their dumb little think tank or something. Or if like you actually have to go sit through and lectures where Eric Weinstein tells you about how gravity is a myth or something like that.
00:12:37
Speaker
Yeah. You can listen to Barry Weinstein just tell you over and over. It's just an entire class on why Israel didn't conduct a genocide. Yeah.
00:12:48
Speaker
Yeah. Modern myths with Professor Jordan Peterson. there i was This is a little bit of a sidebar, but there's this guy that I knew from church back in the day.
00:13:02
Speaker
The church that I, the last church that I was at before they disbanded, but kind of before it fizzled out officially during COVID, which was a great place. um It's the one stop in in church in my life that I i don't have anywhere.
00:13:21
Speaker
any ill will towards, I genuinely appreciate and and believed in what it was doing and its its purpose. So like, but it was interestingly enough, attracted a handful of conservatives. And and eight it always kind of felt like it was, they felt it was their mission to keep, to like write the ship, you know, like it was, the church was too, too far left to, to liberal, too progressive. And they were part of it. And the congregation was a mixed bag for the most part. um
00:13:59
Speaker
But this guy who he kind of like, he really fell off the deep end, did a whole, like leave his family move, started new, married somebody else started. Like it kind of following ah a brain injury kind of fetterman like you know you just like bonk your head a little too hard or have some traumatic brain injury or what did he have a story he had some sort of like something that happened to his brain your calling should have ended there yeah ruined another set of people's lives yeah So something that happened to him and then he kind of like went, and it was really weird. But anyway, all that to say, I saw him leave a Facebook post on someone's a Facebook comment on someone's post who the post was great like from a person I love. And
00:14:43
Speaker
his whole thing was like, well, you know, i don't even remember what the the whole like point of it was, but ah the thing that was stuck out to me the most was like, Jordan Peterson has a lot of really good things to say about it. You should check that out here and then drop the link.
00:14:56
Speaker
And that's all you need to know. Like if you're still, if you're still looking back and going like Jordan Peterson has a lot of good things to say about something, Jordan Peterson has a lot of words to say about something and never really gets to anything purposeful.
00:15:13
Speaker
it calls to mind my time in a Russian tuberculosis ward. Oh, man. you studied for the first time in my life i really studied the story of pinocchio you know you know when geppetto when he's when he calls he looks at his son his creation of his and he says you're a real boy that is a that is an act of of sacrifice he's giving his he's setting his creation free he's cutting the strings and
00:15:44
Speaker
Bloody heck, I think there's a lot we can glean from that. yeah and You're just like, God, how are you not dead yet? That's really good. And, you know, it really does have a lot. And that not you bring it up in a very Peterson-esque way. um It makes me want to revisit the story. So it I get why it works, because now I want to revisit the story of Pinocchio through a ah God, a Genesis lens, you know, the creation of man and and and God allowing his creation to fall into sin, hoping that after...
00:16:22
Speaker
you know, he lies himself straight into the ass of that ass that he was friends with. He realizes the error of his ways and and comes back to his father. I think you're beautiful. And um I appreciate you bringing, bringing a Christ message into Pinocchio. So thank you.
00:16:41
Speaker
Yeah, so and we are going to get into some conservative hacks here in a little bit. Yeah, it it there's a we got to where do we want to start? Let's get into it. because You start first. Okay. You said you got you got like a choose-your-own-adventure sort of thing, right? I do. Yeah.
00:16:58
Speaker
The first one I wanted to bring up quickly was from Reddit, ah our favorite page on Reddit, Christian Dating Advice.
Reddit Relationship Dilemmas
00:17:08
Speaker
A lot of well-meaning individuals seeking guidance from people who know even less than they do. And that's what the is the nice thing about Reddit is you're not going to find, if you're commenting, and look, I'm guilty.
00:17:21
Speaker
If you're commenting on Reddit, you go, I have information to impart. Let me tell you how you should live your life. So, I'm mostly Reddit troll at this point. um I definitely have had more comments get deleted by moderators than not at this point. So haven't been overly effective, but there's a woman ah who is 21 and she has a fairly unique take um or fairly unique convictions or lack thereof over things that are typically frowned upon by the Christian community. So that the headline for it is boyfriend being weird. Okay.
00:18:03
Speaker
There are certain keywords on Reddit now that you just know which one. You just, after looking at, after like post, after post, or but like you can just tell from the headline which ones are probably worth your time because they're more cryptic.
00:18:19
Speaker
Yeah. Because if it was too specific, it they would they they would know that it would just everyone would like bomb it with comments, having a conclusion based on the the headline. So this was being weird. That can go in a lot of different directions. So i go, okay, I bet this is a little interesting.
00:18:38
Speaker
And it is. My boyfriend, he's 23. Already, that's a fairly normal so far he was raised in a christian family and has been heavily involved in church his entire life growing up i was atheist before i met him but we were toxic when we broke up so i came to christ okay already that's a little bit of a red flag um It feels like conversion for the sake of maintaining a relationship that feels just as toxic without knowing what toxicity broke them up to begin with. But we've been back together for a year now.
00:19:17
Speaker
And for context, we have been sexually active. And I do appreciate her honesty. Most people pretend like they don't do any of that sort of thing. Yeah, she's she's going to regret that when it comes to the comments section. Yeah, I mean...
00:19:33
Speaker
She was seeking advice, um not necessarily regarding that, but that is definitely the only advice that she received. It's just like, oh, the problem is that you're having sex before marriage. Remember your problem is I've found it.
00:19:46
Speaker
Yeah. It's real simple. Uh, you stop having sex, uh, and get your life right with Christ and everything will work out. God will never let this relationship work while you live in sin.
00:19:58
Speaker
Right. And you don't need a real roadmap as to what working would look like. Um, It's just arbitrary advice like you have to have a good relationship with God. you like, what is i mean, to this day, looking back on my entire life and I don't know. i still don't know entirely what that meant um or how I would explain it or direct somebody to. It's a very individual experience. um Take a step back.
00:20:23
Speaker
Are you really putting God first? I would just I would just take a time to yourself to fully devote to God. Yeah. Like, im okay.
00:20:33
Speaker
Yep. Whatever. a lot of that, which means that means two things, pray and read your Bible. But if you don't do it the way I think you should, then you're doing it wrong and God won't bless that either. For context, we have been sexually active. I know I am going to get attacked for this, but he has, but, like but he has told me we are husband and wife, which is why part of me is okay with it.
00:20:55
Speaker
I also trust that as the man and the leader in the relationship, he knows best. So already very problematic, completely like to me, it's actually just passing the buck more than it's problematic. I think she's just co-opting Christian language to be like, well, he's the man and he says it's fine. So I'm I'm not culpable. A real Eve situation. Right. You know, just right. Right. Oh, come on. Given the apple. Oh, I took a bite. He took it. Oh, it's not my fault. um All right.
00:21:25
Speaker
However, today he brought up the idea of a threesome. i I expressed that I am not comfortable, though. I do like the idea because it's freaky and fun.
00:21:36
Speaker
I know I am not the holiest as well. But realistically speaking, I'd feel terrible for the rest of my life knowing he spiritually formed a covenant with someone else with with my consent.
00:21:47
Speaker
I'm going to go out a whim here and say this person's probably like spiritually formed with somebody in the past. it I don't know. ah He said, we won't do it if i'm not comfortable but that just takes away from the fact that it's not godly at all if he only won't do it because i'm not comfortable means that if i was he would have had no problems during this conversation i grew very visibly upset as if he views us as husband and wife how can he easily desire involving another person
00:22:18
Speaker
he then doubled down and said it was all a joke i The old ejector seat. I love hold the ejector seat. Hit his head on the canopy.
00:22:32
Speaker
I feel very lost right now and would like some advice on how to navigate this properly as a wife in quotes. um As you can tell, most of the comments are like, you're not actually married. One person actually goes to bat for is like,
00:22:48
Speaker
Why do you need the government involved in your, but like people got married all the time for thousands of years without the government? You know, i get what he's doing. um But for the purposes of ah this Reddit, this subreddit and society, like people, you're not going to sell anyone on that. People are like, no, you just have to get married. You have to go You just have to get married. that Something magical happens after that moment that makes everything different. But,
00:23:18
Speaker
Yeah, i um I found that one funny because that is a can of worms. Like, that toothpaste no never going back in the tube, ever. No.
00:23:29
Speaker
No, it's a thing to ask. It doesn't seem like, given the context, that like this is a fairly conservative person by most people's standards, I don't think this topic has ever come up before in conversation. like It seems to me like Homeboy probably doesn't bring this up without already having someone in mind.
00:23:51
Speaker
Oh, yeah. He's for sure has somebody that he wants to just pull in as, as you know... We should explore our options, you know? Yeah. I actually want say that came up in the ah the comments um about him having somebody in mind already.
00:24:06
Speaker
I'll give you, i mean, another prevalent theme from almost everybody responding is, oh, he's definitely watching lots of porn. Ah, yes. That is a common refrain.
00:24:19
Speaker
If you think yeah if if you have that idea, it's it you've clearly been given it by something you've viewed, not just. No one could ever come to that. That idea you know without that. It's never happened.
00:24:32
Speaker
And you know what? I have a quick Reddit post for that is, ah you know, offers a little advice for that. OK. um So it's titled Tithing Your First Ten Minutes to God is a porn addiction, lust and temptation killer.
Faith, Addiction, and Morning Routines
00:24:47
Speaker
Before I make my case, please understand this is not doctrine. Some people have the urge to skip the post and assume I'm preaching theology. I am simply sharing what worked for me and nothing else did.
00:24:58
Speaker
I truly believe that fleeing is the only solution to porn, temptation, and lust. Yes, the only solution. I tried to beat lust alone with willpower and kept failing.
00:25:09
Speaker
When actually, what actually helped was tithing the first 10 minutes of my day to God before my fun phone, my mind. God, why do you have to call it tithing? You know why he does that? So he doesn't have to pay a church. That's why he's like, I already tithed, baby.
00:25:24
Speaker
I hope this is what he's tithing. yeah I would just, he should just put a little note in the offering plate each week and be like, I'm in. I tithed an hour and a half this week already, so I'm good.
00:25:37
Speaker
i think I think what he's doing is saying if you tithe the first 10 minutes of your morning, he's actually only giving, like a tithe being 10%. He's tithing on the first 10 minutes, so he's really just giving one minute of his time for the first 10 minutes of his morning, and that's just a workaround to make him sound like he's doing a little bit more work than he actually is. A little 60-second rapid-fire prayer.
00:26:01
Speaker
Yeah, if the first thing you do in the morning is scroll social media, I hate to discourage you, but you have likely already failed. As Paul and Hebrews suggest, we need to strive. Don't social media.
00:26:13
Speaker
We need to strive against sin, even to the point of shedding blood. Okay, so it's sin to scroll social media. What? Even to the... What? Yeah, I... My system. Wake up, no scrolling, 10 minutes with God, reading or audio. Then I start my day. Why it works. I used to go to TikTok or Instagram first thing, seeing content that wired my brain to fail. Somehow reading and praying first thing every every morning made me disinterested in that dopamine hit from social media.
00:26:41
Speaker
The toolkit... Dwell app. Perfect for when I'm tired. I just press play and listen in the morning. It's only 10 minutes, people. dis Disciple mode app.
00:26:52
Speaker
This is a gem. It locks the apps that trigger me, and they won't open until I complete my Bible time or prayer first. Living Waters podcast, which, boy, we should check that out, huh? Yeah, I'm sure it's riveting.
00:27:05
Speaker
Another gem, though I usually listen to this later in the day, not first thing. Four, church, go. Don't miss church. Just go and sit.
00:27:15
Speaker
The mindset, pray, pray, pray. You might fail, but don't fail twice, once for the lust and again for the dis deception slash shame. If you fail, that's okay. You get back up and do it again every morning, 10 minutes. I've still fallen sometimes, but I don't stay down anymore. This system helped me build discipline when motivation wasn't there.
00:27:39
Speaker
This sounds like ah like he's one missed paycheck away from trying to, like, what's his Redditor's name? Slow Style.
00:27:50
Speaker
but he's like he's He's just one missed paycheck away from starting the Slow Style Systems Instagram page where he just hawks this kind of bullshit and asks you to pay him $9.99 a month for his regiment.
00:28:06
Speaker
Tithe time for Christ. Yeah. On Instagram. Yeah, there's definitely there's a hook coming for sure. This is going to be a patented system. yeah There's definitely like a, ah you know, like a cornerstone Christian bookstore, like throwaway book in this concept.
00:28:25
Speaker
you were Oh, yeah, for sure. Because everything's a grift, dude. You grift nonstop. That's all. That's the only thing on people's minds now is like how do how to just sell nothing.
00:28:37
Speaker
Oh, somebody comments. Non-believers hate this one simple trick. Oh, dude, it's so bad. Yeah, i i was I don't think I saved the post, but i once in a while, you just go down a rabbit hole in those groups, and you'll like pick a post, you listen to it, or you read through it, and you're like, well, this person's odd.
00:28:57
Speaker
So you click on their name and start looking through like their other posts that they've made elsewhere. And I found one the other day. It was like this lady... She was like 39, and she liked this guy at her church that was like 22 or something, but she didn't want to date him because of the age gap.
00:29:16
Speaker
Yeah, good choice. The comment section, full of men married to girls with like 25-year age differences. Okay, yeah. It's all like that. All that is is self soothing.
00:29:29
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And it's it's I don't know. I feel like the motivations are very different for ah a woman doing that and a man doing that because every one of these guys like they all said the same thing in the comment. They were douchebags for one. And then they were like.
00:29:46
Speaker
Like, yeah, you know, to me, i just felt like, you know, there's a lot of good Christian girls that are coming up, you know, you know, younger girls that are that are really following Christ now. And I don't see that in people my age. I wanted to basically like over and over again, they say, like, I wanted to get to him before the world ruined him.
00:30:05
Speaker
Yeah, I wanted to be the first manipulation manipulative presence in their life. That's 100% what it is. As an adult. God, it's so creepy. hu All right.
00:30:18
Speaker
um I found a couple of fun like articles this week. I decided to check out Relevant Magazine online. um They have really...
00:30:28
Speaker
I know they put out some bigger pieces here and there, but they've really succumbed to like those like three to four minute reads. um Right. like That's just, and we know why. that's but no one had People don't have the attention span for more than that, for one, at this point. Yeah, ad revenue.
00:30:44
Speaker
Right. So you just like churn out a bunch of like five reasons to do X, Y, and Z, and then... You get all the ad revenue you need. People move on, click on a new post. I probably gave them like $3.50 worth of ad revenue by just clicking on so many of them this past week. ah But for the sake of time, we're going to narrow this down to one. And I wouldn't mind revisiting the next one, maybe next week, next couple of weeks. But I'm going to give you a choice.
00:31:13
Speaker
um Are going to look at five keys to talking about your faith without sounding quingy? Or are we going to look at, can you honor your parents and still disagree with them?
Authenticity in Sharing Faith
00:31:28
Speaker
Ooh, I kind of want to hear the, the, the cringe list. All right. That's it. It's a good one. Both of these are great. Um, but I really liked the way they boil this down to five.
00:31:40
Speaker
I ironically cringy points. Um, All right. We've all been there in a conversation with someone and you feel that nudge. Maybe it is a coworker who's clearly going through something, though, or an acquaintance who's asking big life questions. You know you should say something about your faith, but suddenly the words feel impossible to form.
00:32:02
Speaker
What if you sound preachy? What if they think you're judging them? What if you make it weird? Talking about your faith can feel like stepping onto a social minefield. You want to be honest about what you believe, but you don't want to come off as a person no one wants to get stuck in a conversation with.
00:32:19
Speaker
So how do you share the hope you have without making it quench? unavoidable, all of those things will be true simultaneously. Yes. That was my first thought when I was reading it. It's like, yeah, yes to all of them. You will be you you will immediately put a target on your back.
00:32:37
Speaker
You will immediately just become this polarizing magnet and you wonder why people just can't get like within three feet of you. They just kind of repel. This list should be how to engage in self-delusion five different ways.
00:32:49
Speaker
Yeah. here Here are five key talking points. Here are five keys to talking about your faith without making everyone the room uncomfortable. and yeah It's ah unattainable.
00:33:02
Speaker
um One, invite people in instead of making it a sales pitch. This one I really appreciated because it's just kind of circulatory reasoning and it's not, it's like a yin-yang situation more or less.
00:33:14
Speaker
Paul had it right, follow me as I follow Christ, not here's a rehearsed monologue or let me hit you with my three-point theological argument. The best way to show your faith isn't through perfectly curated statements. It is by living in a way that's genuinely compelling.
00:33:30
Speaker
That means inviting people into your life, letting them see your real struggles and joys and showing them what faith looks like up close. Jesus didn't hand out tracts and disappear. He shared meals, spent time with people and met them where they were.
00:33:44
Speaker
If your approach to sharing faith feels more like a sales pitch than a friendship, it's time to rethink your strategy. And this is just so frustrating because it's like, yeah, you, your, your strategy was just to like add one more like connection point to the, where you're like, and instead of just making it a sales pitch, make the entire friendship a sales pitch. Like,
00:34:06
Speaker
ah yeah If the goal is to is to share your faith, so now you're just befriending people for that reason? there's there's no genuine i don't think there's a genuine way. like there There isn't really a genuine way to do that if you're putting that cart before the horse.
00:34:21
Speaker
No, you really should just go out and be friends with a lot of people. And if you're... If your friendship is compelling enough and people value it enough, they'll value you and what you have to say and you'll have a chance to talk about your faith.
00:34:37
Speaker
If you're interested in actually like maybe having like good conversations with people about that stuff, that's what you should do. If you just want to check a box and be like eyewitness to my coworker this week, I can say that during the prayer meeting or whatever, then like by all means, just make it a short sales pitch, please.
00:34:57
Speaker
Yeah, I just can't get, oh, I really can't. Like, so I just remember feeling that need, right? That compulsion to tell my friends when I was in high school about my faith. And it was, it just felt more like a burden than anything.
00:35:10
Speaker
You're just like, i'm I'm genuinely friends with these people. And I couldn't just like not get in my own way. Sometimes it doesn't really like, it never worked by the way. None of those, all of those people genuinely loved me. And well had this idea that like, oh yeah, this guy kind of does his life a little bit different, but none of them were like, and I want to do that. Like they, it just doesn't, it doesn't have the impact. I, again, do, we've talked about this. So your olds didn't really appreciate the, the, the difference in your life as opposed to theirs.
00:35:45
Speaker
We've talked about this a lot. And I, want, I want to have a conversation with somebody who that like that really worked on. um I know it's worked on people. Technically it worked on my parents. um I don't want to have a conversation with them about it on the podcast, but yeah ah but i don't know. I just, it feels like it still feels like you're queuing up. Like when you're packaging it like this, you're really queuing up. Like, don't just give him a sales pitch, play the long game.
00:36:18
Speaker
Really just like the focus has always been on that. Like you need to tell people about Jesus. And the first, I mean, really what it should be is like, hey, you just need to to live in such a way that like, like people are naturally going to, they're naturally going to like,
00:36:35
Speaker
learn about Jesus because of the way that you act and you're their friend and stuff like that. That's what makes it compelling. Not like, well, if if I'm close enough to them, I can catch them at a moment when they're emotionally vulnerable enough that maybe they're they're willing to, like, make some sort of huge shift in their life.
00:36:54
Speaker
Which brings us to so point two. Start small right where you are. You don't have to stage an elaborate spiritual intervention to make an impact. Faith isn't about grand gestures. It's about small, consistent acts of love.
00:37:06
Speaker
Show up for your friends. Be the ones who actually listen. Help a neighbor without making it weird. When faith is woven into your everyday actions, people take notice. Except they don't.
00:37:18
Speaker
They don't. Because... We they can. shouldn't say they don't inherently, but like there are so many people that are that do all that out of their own like out of their own sheer will. Like there's no again, there's no endgame. They're just and I'm not I'm not obviously saying that Christians can't be kind and nice out of their own volition like that. It's all sure. There's plenty of them. they do it all the time. They do it all the time and they genuinely mean it. And it's things like this that are really the problem because they've been so convinced that like they have to consider all these things. And then honestly, I remember making me question. It makes you question your own motives for doing anything.
00:38:02
Speaker
um it makes you question like, Oh, well maybe now's the right. Like you're still having those in inner like intrusive thoughts of like, Oh, okay. I've done all these acts of kindness, but now at some point I have to like connect it to my face. so that way, like it's just kind of like it keep, it's like, it's like faith ADHD. Like your brain can't chill the fuck out.
00:38:24
Speaker
Yeah. It's kind of like if sincerity is like the, the, the central principle in all the things that you do around other people, like, This is a corrupting influence.
00:38:35
Speaker
Yeah. it's ah And if there're so if they associate you with your kindness and genuine care, they're a lot more likely to be open to what you believe. But it often gets communicated a way that's like...
00:38:51
Speaker
Was this like, was that, was that real? Are you being real? And I mean, you can, you have these, these philosophical conversations exist outside of Christianity too, right? Like, is there, is there anything truly altruistic or is it at some level all self-serving? Like even outside of um being part of evangelical Christianity, you just go like,
00:39:14
Speaker
oh, well, like maybe I'm doing this to make myself feel good. Do I just want other people to think I'm this kind of a person? Like you can do this in every sense, but I'd rather have that argument with myself and question my own motives in in in my intrinsic motivation than I would then have to give myself like this faith complex every time I do something and wonder if I gave it to God and if there's an eternal repercussion for me taking God's credit.
00:39:44
Speaker
Yep. So at face value, I feel like this has been two, two decent points of advice. What's number three? Yeah. Be generous and not just with your wallet. I feel like I don't even need to read anything else. I mean, we, we know where this is going.
00:39:58
Speaker
Christians don't always have the best reputation when it comes to generosity. Hmm. Interesting that even this author can recognize the lack of generosity in the faith, the Christian faith community. Like, yeah,
00:40:10
Speaker
You're already shooting. It's already just it's just kind of proving the opposite point, which is just like if they don't have that reputation, the degree to which it's authentic seems to decrease. um Too often the stereotype is that we talk a big game about loving our neighbor and holding on to our resources like we're staring at people.
00:40:31
Speaker
like we're starring in an episode of hoarders. Let's change that. Generosity isn't just about money. It's about your time. There you go. Now we get to move off of the financial component and say, well, I gave my time. Like ah everything gets wrapped up and it's fine. Like none of, none of these conversations are, are outside of the realm of the ones that,
00:40:51
Speaker
just typical people have, but I hate revisiting these types of theological premises where you like you have to have this like grandiose endgame for all of it. like It's all a a negotiation with the people around you.
00:41:09
Speaker
about how you can better emotionally manipulate them into believing what you do. Because at the end at the end of the day, right belief is the only thing that ends up mattering. That's why you can have so many Christians that aren't have that don't have a reputation for being generous. That's okay. They still get the pass because they believe the right thing.
00:41:30
Speaker
And when everything boils down to quote-unquote accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior, okay, like... you're you're devaluing a lot of what it means to be human, I think.
00:41:44
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. ah Give to causes that align with your faith. Like, okay, fair point. Give to Chick-fil-A, okay? um They do some cool fundraisers annually. yeah But also given ways that causes... Charlie Kirk's new book. Yep, yep.
00:42:02
Speaker
Start a TPUSA chapter at your local high school.
00:42:10
Speaker
ah By the way, I thought it was pretty messed up how you ah you just went silent when he died. i did? Yeah. Yeah, I just thought it was messed up. I didn't listen to what you said, but... Oh, my God. ferra Nobody's had a worse week than Nick Shirley. No. Dude, what a, like up until Nick, shirley this is how, you know, they're like, they know they're in a rough spot, right? Because up until Nick Shirley, most of their people have been well-spoken and able to communicate ah ah an egregious point, but at least with, you know, grown up words.
00:42:47
Speaker
Um, Nick Shirley doesn't, he's clearly an idiot. and And they just like hitched their cart to that horse. Like, it's like, like why? Like why that guy? Like, I know it was the right distraction piece at the right time. The whole Somali fraud thing in Minnesota. Yeah. Um,
00:43:05
Speaker
You know, I get it. Like, he it's just he's a mouthpiece. Yeah. they And whoever his handlers are, should they at this point, they've had to have spent a bunch of time with him and talk to him quite a bit.
00:43:18
Speaker
They should have enough sense to be like, hey, you don't do unscripted interviews. It's not your thing. Don't do it. Yeah, especially not with Andrew Callahan, because he's going to make you look dumb.
00:43:29
Speaker
And I think what's great about the way Andrew Callahan approaches these things is he he's not antagonistic at all. um He's not trying to start. Actually, this will tie into our fourth point.
00:43:43
Speaker
He's not trying to win an argument. He's just exposing people for who they are and letting them letting them, you know, crash their own boat. like He doesn't.
00:43:54
Speaker
He's he's not going to make you look dumb. He's just going to peel back the layers so you can show people how dumb you are. Right. Yourself. And he actually tries to steel man them like he's not out there just like I mean. and So Nick Shirley did an interview with Andrew Callahan.
00:44:13
Speaker
Nick Shirley got dragged for it because there was two pieces that were clipped by the thousands and continuously harped on. He's been pointed out as one of the internet's dumbest people right now. And he was upset about that. So he did a ah response video saying that it was um the way he clipped it made him look stupid, the it that it was all basically like done in post and that he's actually looks like a genius. Yeah.
00:44:43
Speaker
So Andrew Callahan responds with but a 15 minute video about it. He gets into how like I don't normally respond to anything, but this guy's calling in my my personal journalistic integrity ah into this. And I'm going to show you my entire process for how I edit videos and and what I changed. And he shows some before and afters like.
00:45:06
Speaker
He just tears him apart. um Yeah, and rightfully so. Yeah, and it he does a fantastic job. um why does he have Why does Nick Shirley have old lady face?
00:45:20
Speaker
He looks like lady. Well, been in the game long enough to get all the filler that everybody else has. Yeah, it's true. He hasn't gotten the Mar-a-Lago ah swell on yet. the The Mar-a-Lago beauty treatment. The Mar-a-Lago bloat.
00:45:35
Speaker
ah So point four here is ah if you want to convince people to follow Christ, stop trying to win arguments, man. You know, newsflash, no one has ever been debated into the kingdom of God.
00:45:48
Speaker
That is very true and good advice. I don't know. i i don't know. I remember when and we were still at Liberty University, there was a really neat video that came out, and it was when Ken Ham debated Bill Nye, the science guy.
00:46:02
Speaker
Yeah, good one. And I like to think that Ken Ham brought a lot of people to Christ that day. Yeah, he strengthened confirmation bias for sure. ah Plenty of people have been loved into it.
00:46:16
Speaker
If your approach to talking about faith is rooted in proving people wrong, you've already lost the plot. And i Okay, I'll hold off. Yes, theology matters.
00:46:27
Speaker
Yes, truth is important. But if the goal of every conversation is to win, you're treating faith like a competition instead of an invitation. People aren't projects to be fixed or opponents to be conquered, which I do agree with. I agree with that statement, and I think he's coming from the right place.
00:46:44
Speaker
I just think he doesn't finish strong. I think overall, this is pretty good advice so far. off Oh, my God. We are on opposite the sides of that fence today. I love that. yeah It's is a weird line. Whether or not it's sincere, but like I would agree with all of these points. I just think that maybe their motivations for doing them are are more of the problem than some of the things that they're covering.
00:47:10
Speaker
That's fair. That is fair. But the motivation feels like it's more salient here than anything else. Maybe not. That's fair.
00:47:21
Speaker
Approach conversations with curiosity, not combativeness. Okay, this is fair. So far, so good. Ask questions. Listen more than you speak. be kind Be the kind of person people actually want to engage with rather than someone they avoid making eye contact with at parties.
00:47:38
Speaker
Be curious. You know, ask questions like, what do you when you say they're not the real Jews, what do you mean by that? But you can't...
00:47:49
Speaker
The irony here, though, is evangelicalism does not approach anything with a sense of curiosity. It doesn't. So that's why this feels so disingenuous. it's it's let me Let me fix this.
00:48:04
Speaker
Let me fix this. Approach conversations with a feigned curiosity, not combativeness. Pretend like you're asking good faith questions. Listen more than you speak. So that way you can plan for how to sway them better later.
00:48:19
Speaker
Be the kind of person who actually that people actually want to engage with so you can bait and switch them. Be curious in the way that like, you know, you want to understand their point of view, not curious in the sense that you are open to changing your view.
00:48:34
Speaker
Right. Be curious in the way that you're bi-curious. Don't actually act on it. Just post it on Facebook during Pride Month.
00:48:44
Speaker
And that's as the that's the extent to which you are bi. Right. It's that like, ah I'm actually bi, but I've chosen to be in a relationship with the opposite sex. It's like...
00:48:56
Speaker
ah you're You're an LGBTQ Manchurian candidate. That's what you are.
00:49:06
Speaker
Oh, boy. And point five, be normal. Seriously, just be normal. Look. This one's really important. One of the biggest reasons faith conversations get weird is because people get weird when they have them.
00:49:20
Speaker
They start using outdated church jargon, speaking in a different tone of voice, or acting like they're auditioning for a Christian infomercial. Just don't. Talk about your faith the same way you talk about your favorite show, your dream job, or the thing you're passionate about.
00:49:34
Speaker
I think this guy really doesn't understand that that's not better. Like people just don't want it. Like people are open to hearing it in certain contexts. I would even argue that maybe another point should have been added.
00:49:50
Speaker
Pick the right context. Never do it at work. That's right. Yeah. Don't subject your coworkers to that. If you want to do that, ask them out for a glass of water or whatever. Like if you don't drink, but like,
00:50:06
Speaker
don't Don't do it at work because then other people hear it and then it just makes – it's uncomfortable. Actually, I do wish I was in more situations where people would proselytize to me. um I do miss – for how important the the concept of it it is, i don't I don't feel like anybody tries to talk to me about it um or convince me to – think differently or show me that they're different uh i don't i have one friend that does that's nice i would i want that again i like i think of anyone if i think of anyone who tries to do all of these points to me i would just be like oh i see what kind of insincere hack you are like but i'll play along i'll i would i'll i'll go on this journey with you um
00:50:55
Speaker
I'll lead you into a false sense of security that you can bring it up at a potentially appropriate time and Just have a weird conversation about it. I do. I wouldn't. I like that. i I mean, clearly, I still enjoy these conversations. I would i'm not around Christians enough like that who would try to tell me to think otherwise. But I think there' there's a the piece of evangelicalism or evange evangelizing that they never talked about was.
00:51:27
Speaker
They're like, oh, you have to be bold in in, you know, your faith and, you know, live it out loud and not be afraid to talk to people about it and stuff. But they don't really seem to ever talk about the fact that it's like, hey, you're going to have to be brave, meaning vulnerable like. you're gonna have to if you want if you really want to talk about this with people you're going to have to expose yourself to ridicule and questions and stuff that maybe you don't know you know not persecution don't play that card persecution this is part of you want to have these conversations like you have to be willing to expose yourself to maybe you know
00:52:07
Speaker
yeah You're going have to explain like what you mean to people. And if you think that if you're so worried about looking dumb that you're not willing to do that, well, I think that you're not being bold in your faith. You know, like. Right. That's the whole point.
00:52:19
Speaker
it He concludes with live in a way that makes people wonder what's
Christian Principles in Daily Life
00:52:25
Speaker
different about you. And when they ask, just tell them no theatrics required. And I don't think people ask that question. They don't.
00:52:34
Speaker
They never have. No one ever has. That was like, hey, man, that that that's so cartoonish. That's so like angel media. That is a Kirk Cameron ah Hallmark holiday special where you just, hey, man, I've noticed something's really different about you and the way that you live your life. It's like, no, it's not happening in real life. They'll just like that if there's something different about you that attracts people to you, they'll just like it. Like if you they're not going to be like, what drives you, bro?
00:53:06
Speaker
Yeah, no. And if they ask, oh man, that question alone would just be a nightmare to me because nobody asks that question genuinely like they'll they'll ask it because they're angling for something like they want to sell you something like, dude. ah So like revisit my life a bit.
00:53:28
Speaker
um I've talked about this before. I don't talk about a lot because there's not much of a reason to, but I do like there is a lot of principles of Christianity that were, I mean, Christianity was really important to me for a very, very long time.
00:53:42
Speaker
All those principles that made me who I am and the way I want to live my life are still inside me. um i didn't I didn't toss those by the wayside like i was like people tell you you will. Oh, if you like people give up their faith in Christ because they just want to live in sin, whatever. We've heard that a million times. We've talked about that plenty of times. It's like, no, what the way I live my life...
00:54:06
Speaker
Has it really changed? um Since my early 20s, it's just, you know, I've done like one thing after another that was important to me. And at one point I go, it's my faith that drives me. But when that aspect of things disappeared, I still did the same thing. So like when I lived in Virginia and my wife and I took the homeless woman in to our apartment,
00:54:29
Speaker
after she got out of prison, it was like, that was an insane time in my life. I was like, what the absolute fuck am I doing? Um, way unequipped for it. i probably went out out over my skis a little bit, just which you do try, which I haven't stopped doing. Right. I have not stopped doing that.
00:54:48
Speaker
I texted you. So then, you know, I became a foster parent in my mid twenties, um, by happenstance. That's a long story. That, you've been listening for a while enough if you know it i don't feel like getting into it now for the sake of time uh but uh he was on and off with me he moved in permanently when he was 16 he's now 22 he still lives with me and then i texted you this week a kid a boy at my school was like his foster home was like gave their two-week notice for him and i'm like I immediately called the social worker and was like, I'll take him.
00:55:19
Speaker
um They found a pre-adoptive home for him. As long as that pans out, he'll be going there. If it doesn't, I'm on backup. And I just go, these are the things I want to do because this is who I am and what I care about.
00:55:32
Speaker
And it's the same exact fucking thing it was 20 years ago. um And no one, I can tell you for a fact that not... I've had people say things like, and it makes me uncomfortable. ah Be like, wow, that's that's crazy. That's a great thing to do. whatever People will make comments about it. Not one single person has ever once asked me in my entire life, what drives you, bro? Why do you do that?
00:55:54
Speaker
Is there something about you? I want to know, but they don't do that. The only people who ever asked me about my motivations and what I should do was a church when they told me I shouldn't do these things because it's going to be too much of a burden on me.
00:56:07
Speaker
and where I was at. So i don't know, man. I just, i that, and I, Additionally, and then we'll move on to your thing. um That is the same rhetoric repackaged for the 150 millionth time.
00:56:23
Speaker
It's just nothing. It's nothing. It's like, dude, I would write, I would write for relevant magazine, evangelical horseshit, five point in a poem rhetoric. So fucking easy. I could probably, I could probably like bolster my rhetoric.
00:56:39
Speaker
very low salary with with that to actually feel like I can maybe get ahead in life for the first time in 37
00:56:48
Speaker
Hey, embrace the grift. Right? right Dude, we talk a lot about grifters, and we always talk about how we want. Oh, that'd be so nice. It'd be so easy. Why can't I do it? Why? Because i have I've got scruples. They're a pain in the ass. Those unfortunately didn't go away when I decided Christ wasn't God.
00:57:08
Speaker
Well, um... On the topic of grifters, I found one today that, boy, I hate this chick. I love when you hate people because it's usually it's some type of awful.
00:57:23
Speaker
like You were just generous to the guy that i but ah to the article that I wrote. You were so generous to it, and I was like so mad when I was reading it. like I was embarrassed when I was reading it, and you're like, I don't know, he seems like ah he's got some good points. Yeah. It's like we have we have different things that make us like totally turn on a person and be like, ah, no, they should. Someone should kill them. Right. Like like, for example, you have employees that make mistakes every five hours and you go, i don't know. He's a nice guy. yeah
00:57:56
Speaker
Well, um I heard ah Ben Avery making fun of this chick on a clip from his stream today. And so I just kind of like was like, man, I've never heard of this chick. I'm going to go down the rabbit hole here. And oh, man.
00:58:11
Speaker
Oh, man, is it dumb? It is shallow and stupid. So the person that we're talking about is ah Melanie Mack.
00:58:22
Speaker
And maybe that name is familiar to some people in the audience. This wasn't a person that I'd heard of, but I found out afterwards that I have some mutual contacts with this girl. and No way. Through April, you know, because April used to do a lot of like...
00:58:37
Speaker
cosplay comic-con stuff um and this person she's tried on a bunch it seems like she's tried on a number of different personas over the years but at best like they just plug and play until they hit like katherine crick Erica Kirk. There's a lot of that in there.
00:58:55
Speaker
This is like a much less talented Kathleen Crick or Erica Kirk. I would debate Erica's talent. and I think she just has good management. Yeah. Yeah, she's got that like eyes wide shut content, like Rolodex.
00:59:09
Speaker
That's really all she's got going for her. It's easy to be successful when you have the entire state of Israel backing your movement. Friday night, Shabbat Shalom.
00:59:20
Speaker
Ha ha ha. So ah Melanie has been ah like a streamer video game e-girl for a long time. Like she's our age, you know, I think she's 39. So she's been at it since, you know, like the early two thousand and ten s And, um you know, in her heyday, which I think was somewhere in that like 2013 to 15 range, she was like actually kind of prominent. She was doing like a bunch of stuff for like, ah you know, um gaming magazines and doing like, you know, kind of like event hosting stuff. That's where like she was.
01:00:03
Speaker
in the same circles as some of April's friends, you know, that actually knew her pretty well. Um, none of the people that know her, that April knows, all of them hate her.
01:00:15
Speaker
Yeah. it's kind of a preview of things to come but this chick she's really like when when you know when the the the dollars get scarce in one realm she is not afraid to make a hard shift into something else so i don't have these in order so i'm just gonna kind of pick them at random here and uh and let you hear there's a couple in here that you're gonna really like What?
01:00:42
Speaker
If you're afraid? What makes you think that could be beheaded in the tribulation?
01:00:52
Speaker
oh right you couldn't coward what if you're afraid yourself a christian and you're too scared of the ah what make what makes you think that you could be beheaded in the tribulation Yeah, it's like a really stupid way of saying, like, if you can't stand up for your faith by telling your gay friend they're going to hell now, what makes you think that you're going to, like, raise your hand when the shooter asks if anybody believes in God? Okay. Dude, how do you get...
01:01:25
Speaker
How can you be our age and be in and think like that? Dude, I watched quite a few of her videos today, which ah she has ah she has a whole channel on YouTube. Like she has a regular like gaming streaming channel or whatever. I think she has like two or three channels, but one of them is just like Bible time with Melanie Mack. Does she only play Christian video games?
01:01:51
Speaker
yeah No, but she's she's gotten in a lot of hot water over that, too, because she ah you know has posted some pretty like salacious things about how you know she wants modesty in video games, and she wants you know like all these perverted like girls in skimpy outfits and stuff cut out, which doesn't mesh well with a lot of her red-pilled right-wing gamer gait.
01:02:16
Speaker
audience. yeah They didn't like that very much. They just want gay characters out of the game. Yeah. You know, and and women over 130 pounds, not yeah don't want them to the outfits to get bigger or more practical. over on They don't want women over 130 pounds, unless like but there's like a margin where they'll be like, the depending on the weight of your tits, they'll be like, well, that doesn't count. like You subtract titty weight is what you do.
01:02:49
Speaker
Yeah, like your hate index goes up if you hold weight in the wrong spot. Right. Like you could be 140 pounds, but if it's 10 pounds of two weight, you're in good shape. It's fine. um You get all the neck beards fapping and that's ah no one no one cares at that point.
01:03:06
Speaker
You ever seen like an overinflated tire where it'll just have like a bubble that pops out of the sidewall? Yeah, that's what I just had to replace the tires on my ah my van because that was happening.
01:03:18
Speaker
yeah And they were flat and driving in the snow with flat tires is... pretty precarious in this state. That's the kind of, uh, that's the kind of curvy that they'll accept. Yeah. And Kardashian, like 30 pounds of, of, you know, repurposed raccoon fat or whatever. The Nicki Minaj prosthetic ass. Yeah.
01:03:41
Speaker
There's no, okay. There's no reason to go down of this rabbit hole. Yeah. But cause I said Nicki Minaj. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was gonna, I was gonna, and then I stopped and now I'm glad you opened that up. BBLs are insane.
01:03:51
Speaker
Oh, that's where we're going. i yeah I can't imagine why anybody would willingly get a BBL. They look nuts. I don't actually know what that stands for. It's ah it's that. it's ah It's like the like surgically inflated butt.
01:04:08
Speaker
Oh. I thought it was... Is it an acronym? It stands for... Brazilian butt lift, I think. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotcha. Yeah, that's crazy. That... I mean... God. I don't... I think I just don't... I feel like I have thoughts, but maybe...
01:04:24
Speaker
I don't want to get into commenting on what on my opinions of what choices women make with their bodies. I think, okay, look, if you're going to do it, do it big. You should have to get skin grafts from a cadaver because there's not enough...
01:04:39
Speaker
It can't stretch it any further. You should have Frankenstein scars on the back so that you can have like a yeah your your butt sticks out directly out like 15 inches.
01:04:52
Speaker
It's like a bolt on ass. Yeah, you should have to get you. have to You should have to get two airplane seats.
01:05:00
Speaker
It's a specialty mattress with a hole in the back of it. So you can sleep on your back. It's like a big mattress bra that just cradles your butt cheeks.
01:05:17
Speaker
Okay, let's see what else we got. Oh, here's ah here's a fun one. that this is for the This is for the ladies in the audience. You'll like this. Now that we've got actual men in charge who can fix this country, us girls can relax and focus on being pretty and skinny.
01:05:32
Speaker
Oh my God, dude. Every woman in the audience blood just went to just a 300 degrees, just simmering in a hotspot on the back of their neck. We can sit. It's like, we can sit pretty and relax. No, you can't relax because you have so much cooking cleaning to do in this new, this new world order. Yeah.
01:05:51
Speaker
yeah Oh, I think there's like the theme is just, oh, um I'm going to be the right wing e-girl that's into Christianity and that says the F slur constantly. You don't get you don't get to look pretty relaxed unless you marry an 80 year old politician. That's that's your option. Yep.
01:06:15
Speaker
Yeah. And they may push you off a boat at some point. but You know, that's an occupational hazard. yeah So her... all of her dude All of her political opinions, all of her religious opinions, like her faith, everything she explains about her faith, it's the like lowest common denominator, cheapest, most vapid, thin explanation of whatever it is. And some of it is just like, it's just straight up like, I think this will trend. I'm lifting it. I'm taking it for me.
01:06:47
Speaker
Dude, and you you have no soul if you can go in this direction for the sake of ah internet clout. It's like... Like it, I mean, it shows when you see stuff like this, you go, this is the equivalent of becoming a terrorist in a, in a, in a Middle Eastern country that the United States tore apart. Like you're, you're, you feel like your back's against the wall and you have no other options. So you just go to online right-wing terrorism. It's just like, you're an ex-Bathist in 2004 Iraq and you're ready to like cut some heads off on video. Yeah. You don't have anything. You go, my entire life, i built i built an online presence at a young age and that was my career and that started drying up. So like I will sacrifice all my integrity for the sake of a paycheck to –
01:07:35
Speaker
you know But what they don't get is like, you might be able to you might be able to like get some, you might get money from this type of content now. I'd be interested to know what those financials are for her. But like, you don't come back from this.
01:07:52
Speaker
There's no way back in to the like to to society's like goodwill. like They don't go, you know what? Thanks for your apology video. we're gonna We'll be fine now. like And if you go back far enough in her feed, you'll find 2015 typical Twitter takes about how...
01:08:10
Speaker
like typical twitter takes about how like Like lighten up people, LGBTQ people are just people. Love is love, whatever, you know, like she's got all that in the backdrop, but now it's hard the other direction.
01:08:26
Speaker
Right. Like this is Russell Brand shit. This is like, yes. I don't have another option, so I'm going to do that. like it's It really is. It's that's the aforementioned ejection seat. like youre This is an ejection sheet ejection seat over the Atlantic into shark-infested waters. like you're You're just cooked after this. Here's a good one.
01:08:49
Speaker
so In this one, she's wearing like a a big, furry, black-and-white headpiece with ears on it. Guys, I'm officially coming out.
01:09:01
Speaker
I've known ever since I was three that I was a skunk. And I'm very excited to live as my true self. My pronouns are stank. Oh, i thought we were done. God damn it.
01:09:16
Speaker
And I really hope that you can accept my identity. you stank. It's just bringing me so much joy. Dude, that's the thing that you don't count on is she's funny.
01:09:30
Speaker
yeah Yeah. She's good at satire. i like Dude, this is why right-wing people aren't funny. I identify as tax-exempt.
01:09:41
Speaker
Take that, Uncle Sam. Every like every comic that shifts really right-wing just loses it so fast. Now, she's not a comic by any means, but like right-wing comedy is just it's not funny.
01:09:54
Speaker
That's why kill Tony is just like been on the biggest decline ever since he started meat riding Trump this hard. You know, it's like, yeah, there's, there's like kill tote his His situation was weird because it was like the roast of Tom Brady.
01:10:09
Speaker
He walked up and a lot of people had a problem with what he said um on the roast of Tom Brady. um And that's fine. i I did happen to find and very funny on it. I found him very funny on it. And I was like, oh, maybe I should pay attention to this guy. And then very quickly, I was like, yeah come on. Like, I'm good.
01:10:30
Speaker
it he just turned into a hack and it maybe he always was i didn't know much about him before uh i had people have told me to watch kill tony and the first thing i watched of it was the netflix special that he did and that sucked that sucked oh yeah it was the amount of time the amount of you just like suck you just you cringed through most of it it was wild that i mean i get they did it live like it it was terrible though. it's i It's reached a point where there's like dedicated fans of kill Tony. Yeah. and you're no longer getting good feedback from the people that are watching your crap. You know, like I remember watching it a few times, like way back in the day when it was before it like blew up in popularity and like,
01:11:15
Speaker
I don't know. It wasn't really for me, but like it had its moments and it was a good concept. you know but yeah like The problem with if you're doing something like comedy, the problem with like taking a making a hard shift towards like an identity group like this is that you inherit a bunch of like viewpoints that you can't buy. A big part of comedy is... like you know, it's, it's the sleight of hand of, you know, taking an unpopular opinion and then bringing the audience around to it or helping them see what's funny about it. But like, you can't do that if you have to, like, as a point of, of identity, you have to subscribe to a bunch of different opinions on every topic. Like where's there to go from there?
01:12:00
Speaker
You just end up making these like hack jokes about like, oh, I identify as a dog now. My pronouns are wolf and, and yeah, wolf and wolf. I don't It's just, it sucks.
01:12:12
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it oh I mean, There are plenty, obviously that show is for the sake of entertainment, but like the idea of giving somebody like a couple minutes to try to be funny in it in a full crowd of people that don't know who they are. Like there's no background. There's no. They sign up for it. buy it I know. i know. And so the idea was just kind of just to make fun of them, but it turned it like, i don't know. It's just turned in legitimately good at it. You know, like I think some people have risen to the top of that thing that we're,
01:12:45
Speaker
pretty good at like writing material on short notice, but yeah, it's just overall not fun. I mean, how many times are you going to listen to Tony Hinchcliffe make fat jokes, you know?
01:12:57
Speaker
Right. um Okay. so I'm not sure which ones of these are which. So let's try, so let's try one at random here. Some atheists or agnostics or anything else that's not Christian get mad when Christians dress in alternative fashion or style themselves in alternative fashion. Christians will always inherently, whether they dress alternative or not, they will always inherently be more punk. than any atheist or agnostic could ever be. Because a Bible calls us to not conform to the world, to not be of the world. So inherently, we are outcasts to the world. world has always hated us. They will always hate us. So if you see a Christian dressing in alternative fashion, which is honestly very controversial, common. This has been a thing for a long time, probably because they feel that reflect who they are as an outcast to society. If you're an atheist you or an agnostic and you're mad about Christians dressing alternative, hey, we're just more punk than you.
01:13:54
Speaker
ah Dude, I couldn't wait to show you that one. Just to be, oh my God. Dude, we we both were part of and still have interest in an alternative music scene.
01:14:12
Speaker
in Getting into it when we were younger, that was what people but that that's an old message too. Again, nothing new under the goddamn sun here, dude. like These people just rehashed the same fucking things for 30 years. oh Actually, the most punk thing is to be Christian. like Yeah. To go through life.
01:14:31
Speaker
like And she doesn't. She's so full of shit. It's like to go through life being like, oh, these people hate. They don't. They hate you. They hate you. They hate people like you. And that.
01:14:43
Speaker
And what's to act like they hate you because you're like, you're different. Like, in what way are you different? You're just a rage baiter piece of shit. Yeah, you're rage baiting. That's what you're doing. and You don't like you. You actually have all the social capital in the world right now. Like, I'm i'm sorry, but all these right wing edgelords own this fucking country.
01:15:08
Speaker
And you're going to be like, oh, We're so persecuted. Everybody hates us. It's like they actually don't. They really don't. And that's the problem. The problem is that they actually don't hate you. The problem is they need to hate you more and more people need to hate you effectively.
01:15:24
Speaker
Well, so i think you get the idea of who this girl is. So this is where it kind of caught my interest is like, oh, this is more than just like annoying, cringe, you know, conservative content or whatever.
01:15:37
Speaker
um i i was like looking through her videos and she has one about taking an APAC money. Well, I have my suspicions. So I don't know if you remember it. I didn't listen to it. But Tucker Carlson, a couple months ago, had on ah a Palestinian nun from Israel, like the region.
01:16:04
Speaker
And she he had her on to talk about like the hardships that Christians face you know trying to worship and live. you know And these aren't Western Christians going to the... you know uh, Bumbley bird Baptist church or whatever. Like these are, you know, Coptic Christians or, you know, Orthodox various, you know, Catholics, things like that in Palestine, in, uh, you know, Gaza and other places. So he's having this lady on to talk about some of the hardships that they face there, which are legitimate.
01:16:34
Speaker
These are legitimate hardships. They are facing legitimate persecution, unlike anything going on in the West. Um, um, Dude, this one, this one may be mad because the the title of her video was Tucker Carlson brings quote unquote none on his show.
01:16:52
Speaker
And unquote her whole point here, she claims she hasn't seen the interview. Her whole point. Oh, real Nick Shirley move. This old lady looks like a man.
01:17:04
Speaker
So here's here's a piece of this genius stuff. She's doing in the Holy Land. Well, it's become a very difficult time for them there. Look at the voice.
01:17:15
Speaker
Fuck that. Listen to the voice. I am not, I'm really not trying to be disrespectful, but this just.
Media Critique: Nuns, Snowballs, and Conflicts
01:17:21
Speaker
You are. It looks like a Mexican man that they just put in a nun garb. And I don't know where this nun comes from or what their story is. And I am not trying to be disrespectful, but I'm just saying.
01:17:35
Speaker
If we have someone like Tucker Carlson, who is supposed to be against the craziness that has been going on in America and all this stuff, but then he platforms a nun who looks like a Mexican man because of because they happen to align with him on the Palestine-Israel conflict, then he's just going to not even address this at all? Like...
01:18:00
Speaker
ah Am I? She doesn't stop. I'm probably going get some people that are just outraged by what I'm saying right now. But. Yes. in a <unk> doing in the holy land So, yeah, so I don't know anything about this guy.
01:18:15
Speaker
or talk that's crazy you're seriously not gonna say are you actually a man because you're ugly it's like i don't see i don't i don't remember this level of scrutiny for that guy who showed up on fox news with a mask seventeen times pretending to be antifa Yeah, that guy. He looks like Michael Rappaport's like deadbeat.
01:18:39
Speaker
Dude, speaking of, I sent you that video of Michael Rappaport getting hit in the head by a snowball. I don't know how many times I watched it, but it was so good. He just gets blasted with a snowball on the street while he's making one of his rant videos. And this dude's just like, shut the F up. Just shut up. And he's like, ow, man, you got it in my ear. Yeah.
01:19:03
Speaker
I said it the other day, but we you know we watched fall like the first season of Fallout again before the new season came out. you know and it's like The best part of Fallout Season 1 is watching Michael Rappaport get mauled by a mutant bear. That's 100% it.
01:19:21
Speaker
He's going to run for mayor in 2029, dude. That'll go well. I can't wait. I can't wait. That'll provide so many... like That's going to be high-level entertainment.
01:19:33
Speaker
So I think part of the thing that like strikes me about this video that she did is like I really can't imagine someone coming
Israel-Palestine Conflict Discourse
01:19:43
Speaker
into the... like Okay, she's clearly not a very bright person.
01:19:48
Speaker
Clearly like willing to you know step on all every toe and do so for clicks and stuff. but like it took her 45 seconds to even remember Israel-Palestine conflict.
01:19:59
Speaker
Dude, does anybody like sincerely make this video? Because this seems like someone who is trying to get attention for taking a shot and delegitimizing like this interview that he did with a lady who lives there, like who is actually experiencing Christian persecution and like has something to say about it. It's just weird. It's weird that you're like, I haven't watched it or anything, but...
01:20:26
Speaker
ah she's ugly right she looks like a man it's their point is that maybe it's a mech maybe it's a like a mexican plant like her argument is that tucker carlson didn't vet this person yeah he platformed her even though he you know he's not even asking her if she's actually a man like it's just so dumb that it's hard to be i can't imagine that this is sincere like even if And I think Tucker Carlton's at a point where, you know, I don't, not my favorite dude in the world by far, but you think first, you, you actually think that he's going to have someone on his podcast or his show, whatever it is that he's doing to talk to somebody and be like, I have an idea.
01:21:10
Speaker
I need to get my point across. So I'm going to hire a Mexican man to play a Palestinian woman. And it's going to go over swimmingly. Like it, it lacks the most basic level of critical thinking of like, no, actually, if you wanted to create some, like some ruse, you would hire a person who was Palestinian or at least Palestinian.
01:21:36
Speaker
look pal, like it doesn't even make sense. I don't believe that she thinks this. I don't believe that this is sincerely the complaint that she has about this video. It makes me go, what are you doing? What are you trying to, why do you need to take this video out of, you know, like out of context? Why do you need to delegitimize this lady's story?
01:21:53
Speaker
There's no, there's not, there's a different motivation here. It's not just that you think she looks like a man. It's ridiculous, but it gets, it gets even better from there because she'll like dip her way into, uh, into the conflict a little more.
01:22:06
Speaker
Oh, I'm sure she's... A Christian can't. No, without permission from Israel. um Okay, look. Now, I'm sure this actual discussion, would definitely be curious, those who actually watched the interview, for some of you guys to weigh in the comments. Let me know your opinions.
01:22:24
Speaker
I definitely have lot to say about the, and I have said a lot, about the Palestine-Israel A lot of you guys know I am on Israel's side with this. I am against Hamas and what they did, and I think that they need to let the hostages go. And i think that the Palestinian people shouldn't be supporting Hamas in these actions that have taken place because Hamas is a terrorist organization, and I do not support that. and to me, this is a very clear-cut example
01:22:57
Speaker
of what what What do you think is going to happen? What do you but like? What's the clear cut example of what do you think is going to happen? Somebody came to America and some terrorist organization came to America and took hostages and then wouldn't release them. Two years the two years. I've tried so hard to look into this situation and see what people were on about when they were saying that Israel was wrong on this. I tried to see both sides of that, and I have not seen anything valid. I've only seen propaganda. That is all I've seen that have supported the people and these who are who are are ah who are acting like Israel is genociding Palestine right now. okay So let's just look at the situation first and foremost, right?
01:23:40
Speaker
ah it's I know the idea of walking into a sovereign nation and taking a hostage ah is crazy. i can't imagine noing how i were ch for that yeah I can't imagine how a country might react like or what their rights would be to react if if that happened. Good thing the U.S. hasn't done anything like that recently.
01:24:01
Speaker
yeah Yeah, dude, I just... Why would you wade into this topic if that's all you have to say? Like, why even talk about it? Why comment on it? Unless, I don't know, is there something on the line for you if you do?
01:24:15
Speaker
Right. The irony of it, the all I've seen is propaganda. It's like I don't think you realize the lengths that the Israeli government has gone through to own everything and orchestrate the types of content that get platformed.
01:24:32
Speaker
It's like, dude, I remember losing my shit a few months ago. I don't know why, but I turned on... um NPR i in my car. And it was like NPR, was yeah know they're fine for the most part, but sort of.
01:24:53
Speaker
But they all I heard when I turned it on was like this, like pro-Israeli propaganda or like much of it trying to soften like Well, you know, there's like doing that both sides is in bullshit. And you're just like, this is this is crazy that like this has infiltrated every aspect of our mainstream media. And in the only the old like you might get like a talking head on or a guest that's interviewed. But for the most part, like you you weren't getting anything.
01:25:25
Speaker
No. on the mainstream media, that would that would speak out against what israeli ah the Israeli government was doing. I mean, even in the subtle ways that they do it that you don't notice you know until somebody points them out. But like you know ah like Israeli captives are are hostages, but Palestinian prisoners, of which there are way more, are castigated.
01:25:47
Speaker
They're detainees, you know, like, yeah, I'm sorry, but you know, a 12 year old is not a detainee. Like that's, that's child prison that you got them in.
01:25:58
Speaker
And it seems like a lot of them die in your custody, you know, like, so it's just, there's so much about how that, ah that whole thing is framed over and over again. That's like so dishonest and slanted, but like,
01:26:11
Speaker
I don't know. It's to the point now where like the pro-Israel crowd is there. There's nowhere to hide from like just the carnage that they've inflicted on Gaza.
01:26:23
Speaker
So like they're just having to be brazen about it and just be like, well, hey, look, FAFO, you know, um and, you know, basically having to say over and over again that like Israeli lives are worth more than Palestinian lives.
01:26:38
Speaker
Oh, yeah, 1,200 people died and on October 7th. Horrible. Yes, whatever. But, I mean, there's like 100,000 dead Palestinians, maybe 200,000. Nobody even knows, you know? i just saw something that had the death toll, like, in the, like, I too i want to say it was in the 600,000s, but I could be off with that. We'll never know.
01:26:59
Speaker
We'll never know. And that's that's like so she tackles that part of the conversation next. And ah she does so by like she's she's lampooning the idea that Israel is committed to genocide in Gaza.
01:27:13
Speaker
And so her her her form of research is to Google population of Palestine 2023 versus Okay.
01:27:24
Speaker
By mid-23 compared 2025. Let's Okay. In mid-2023, population of Palestine was estimated to be 5.4 million. mid-2025, 5.6 million. Worst genocide ever. Oh, my God,
01:27:35
Speaker
point four million by mid twenty twenty five five point six million worst
01:27:45
Speaker
oh my god du So if this just is this, I don't get it. Oh, Israel is just trying to be to genocide Palestine. How? Bro.
01:27:56
Speaker
And I, what are the comments say on this? Oh, cause that's where you go for Israel. Hey, is what it looks like. Why is nobody addressing that? There's not an is ah it looks like a man.
01:28:08
Speaker
It might be a man. I don't know. Like, if this is just a very unfortunate situation of a woman with very bad hormones or something like that. Jesus Christ. Then, yeah, I feel bad. I don't want dunk on somebody who for their appearance.
01:28:24
Speaker
Yeah. All you want to do is someone who's in appearance. It's giving mail. Bye-bye. So where it's such a... Oh, dude, there's just so much about it. should go comments. You really should just go the comments if you really want to understand what's going on over there. Yeah.
01:28:41
Speaker
Yeah, and Googling the population of Palestine. Well, what does Palestine even mean? Is that the entire region? Is that all of Israel? I mean, you didn't Google the population of Gaza. Right. Again, that's not a number that anybody can frame at this point anyways, but like the population of Palestine...
01:28:57
Speaker
Like, what didn't they didn't they bring in like 100,000 IDF agents from outside the country, like as a as a part of like their mobilization effort? You know, I mean, it's just so dumb. It's such a dishonest framing of it from such a dumb person that I actually like hear her talk.
01:29:15
Speaker
like i hear her talk And um I actually think she just might be really dumb. Like, she's clearly a dumb person. Like, yeah it's it's partially a grift, of course. ah But she's also really dumb.
01:29:29
Speaker
Yeah. And I think she's different than, like, Russell Brand, right? Russell Brand shifted into this bullshit. ah I honestly don't think he's really dumb. He's a savvy huckster.
01:29:42
Speaker
When you listen to, like, everything he's... pre-COVID particularly, um is when you could watch a special of his and be like, he's he's he's a he's a thoughtful person at the very least. um And then, of course, like the all the SA accusations come in and he immediately following he...
01:30:06
Speaker
starts shifting hard right, and hoping if he just says the right things long enough, he'll end up with a
Political Stances and Influencer Narratives
01:30:13
Speaker
pardon. I don't even know what a pardon would... I mean, he's got accusations all over the globe at this point. The UK.
01:30:19
Speaker
Right. Maybe he wants some sort of US asylum if he just keeps doing MAGA bullshit. But it's like... he's, he's incredibly wrong, but he's doing it out of what he feels is necessity for his own livelihood.
01:30:33
Speaker
Wrong again, wrong as fuck. Um, but it's self preservation. like yeah this lady has no, like, I guess it's self-preservation in the sense that she maybe saw ah financial benefit to doing this. But I mean, is she getting a lot of interactions and likes? and No, that's the funny thing is that she's yeah basically like fallen apart over the past like five years here. Like her, her popularity has just plummeted.
01:31:03
Speaker
Is she getting a $3,000 influencer cut from the Israeli government because they've been paying influencers to say the right things? Right. Well, that's what I that's what makes me wonder, you know, is like, you know, I breaking points did a good story about that the other day. I think it was Ryan Grimm was talking about the fact that like.
01:31:21
Speaker
there's this network of ah like fun finding website, basically like these companies that have a a point to get across, whether it's like a super pack or whatever it is, like they have like a network that,
01:31:36
Speaker
where they'll basically like they'll put open a they'll they'll post a topic and like the talking points for the topic. And then whoever you know you can you can basically like try to get a hold of those funds by posting about it, you know reciting the the talking points. And if you can get the clicks that they're looking for, then you get a portion of that money that's what they've made available.
01:32:03
Speaker
So it might be like, here, we've got $30,000 to promote X, Y, and Z. You post it, your video goes viral, or you're going to take home a significant portion of that $20,000. I don't know how it all works, but they did a great article about it, and it made of things. Ryan Grimm's reporting is fantastic. Ryan Grimm is...
01:32:24
Speaker
He's I like what he has to say. He's a he's a better reporter than he is a talker. like so Yeah. Everyone listen to him. Read what he he publishes. um When I first started listening to him, I was like, why is the world's most boring man the one with all the good information? Right? like Right.
01:32:45
Speaker
It's tough. But it's a testament to his like intellect, too, because in today's day, like if you're not entertaining, you're devalued.
01:32:55
Speaker
um in My God, this guy is just constantly spitting hot fire. Yeah, yeah, he's great. um I didn't explain that concept well, but it made sense to me when I thought about it, about why you see so many of these these people posting tweets and stuff that use like the exact same verbiage.
01:33:16
Speaker
Yeah. Like they use the same keywords. Even sometimes it'll like they'll use the same keywords in in all caps. And it's I think it's like it's checking the box on that bid.
01:33:28
Speaker
So I don't know. Maybe that's what's going on here. I can't imagine she's doing very good. So she's got like her main channel has like three hundred and fifty thousand subs. But her views are like these latest videos she's posted, which she's kind of like quit posting over the past like six months here.
01:33:46
Speaker
Like her latest videos are getting, you know, 3000 views. So like, if you have that money has dried up, you're padded with bots too.
01:33:57
Speaker
Yeah, or like her heyday was 10 years ago and now nobody cares, you know? Right. It was salacious for her to drop the F slur like 10 years ago, but now it's like what she's known for, so nobody's surprised or entertained by the fact that she's a scumbag, you know? And it's kind of part and parcel for the right...
01:34:17
Speaker
wing anyway to go for that low-hanging fruit to as an identity marker you know yeah they're just like oh if i say this people know where i come from or where i stand so so i'll give you a kind of the last little piece here oh i appreciate that i was really looking forward to one more video from her this one i think i posted this on our story on instagram today but So we know it's been talked about constantly about how white people are
Societal Changes and Personal Reflections
01:34:45
Speaker
not reproducing. And I think that that is because we are getting closer to the final days, right?
01:34:53
Speaker
We're already like 2000 years into the end times, technically after the death of... resurrection of Jesus Christ, but the final days when we're talking like the book of revelation, we are getting closer to that. And I think that the birth rate decline for a lot of, especially Christian nations,
01:35:15
Speaker
is How many nations are there in Christian? All the white ones. I think she's missing the most i think she's missing the most plausible exact ah ah reason, which is that ah you know in Western nations, porn is very prevalent. And I think she's not realizing that white people maybe just like backshots too much.
01:35:40
Speaker
Yeah, like ah some there's a lot of come inside women anymore. It's really a i mean, it's an epidemic. There's a lot of homebound men with a lot of back fat that rather than going out and trying to, you know, find a love of their life and settle down and have kids, they're just tugging their puds to her bikini pictures.
01:36:03
Speaker
Right. a lot of A lot of white men now are sitting in the cuck chair. And that's, I mean, it's just not happening. The birth rate is declining for a a lot of reasons. You know how many kids she has?
01:36:18
Speaker
Zero. Oh, interesting. So what... like is it the is the is there Is revelation coming true? Is that what's keeping you from having kids? When you first said that, I was like, please don't tell me it's a lot. I could have seen it going that way. But when you said zero, I actually i felt happy for a moment. Because like it's nice when you see like the bloodline end with an absolute idiot. You don't need her imparting this. and her right You don't need her imparting her ideology onto...
01:36:50
Speaker
onto other people who are more easily influenced by her. No, it's true. But, you know, according to a Kiwi Farms post, she's infertile.
01:37:01
Speaker
I don't know why anyone would know that, but that is something that someone typed. I'm sure. She'd probably offer that information up at harm some point.
01:37:13
Speaker
No. ah Kiwi Farms is like that torn up razor wire trench between the two sections of the front line in World War I. And it's just people firing shots at lolcows and morons online.
01:37:31
Speaker
it's where everything It's where everyone bad goes to get all their bad thoughts out. Like what 4chan used to be. It's kind of like that. Yeah. Cause I'm just more centered around bullying. Yeah. People online.
01:37:47
Speaker
So yeah, so that's Melanie Mack. She's real cool. And, you know, I definitely recommend checking out her Bible study where she will recite to you the exact same things that you learned in Sunday school as a toddler.
01:38:02
Speaker
but no, in a shrill voice. while While saying the same thing four times in four just almost non-existently different ways.
01:38:13
Speaker
Like our president. Yeah. you know what? Maybe she'll get nominated for a Nobel peace prize for her white on work on the, ah you know, the white genocide and whatnot.
01:38:25
Speaker
They have lost all their integrity. You know, it's unfortunate to see them really take a nosedive like they did, but yeah. Yeah. I don't think that prize means a whole lot anymore.
01:38:36
Speaker
No, not not as much as it used to. ah The irony of giving the Nobel peace prize to people who are like actively fighting, um in calling for violence is interesting.
01:38:48
Speaker
um ah they've They've shifted from their roots for certain, but I haven't given up. Maybe they'll maybe they'll have their salvific moment Maybe real cool people who actually do good things don't need a ah ceremonial trophy for it. you know We can just pat them on the back and say they're great, champion their their their cause. there was a I did see a video on her Bible study page saying it was titled, Should Christians Be Anti-War? and I'm guessing it was an emphatic no.
01:39:23
Speaker
Well, you know, and she makes a compelling case, okay? um If you turn to kind of the the front of the Bible... yeah There's war.
01:39:33
Speaker
There is war is plenty of War happens. And in Deuteronomy, God said to kill everybody and everything that's not an Israelite.
01:39:44
Speaker
So God uses war. War is part of God's plan. And that's God. And some people think that Jesus, who's also God, is the the nice God and that ah God the Father is me. Yeah. No, Jesus and God, they are the same the same God. So Jesus oh supports war and and God commands war.
01:40:08
Speaker
And so, you know, we really just got to be, we got to use discernment when thinking about these wars, but wars are real and they will continue to happen.
01:40:23
Speaker
Okay. yeah i mean saved you I saved you all 10 minutes right there. Oh, wow. That's a real bridge version. self Yeah, it felt like you were going on for so long. That's like the whole thing.
01:40:37
Speaker
it was, ah yeah. So it's it's just that. It's that. It's the most boilerplate bland version of Christianity that like you would teach a child.
01:40:47
Speaker
She definitely has that energy of like, ah well, this little graph answer and this is this answer this is the answer to the question and I memorized it. so i amazing Well, I'm glad we have solid players like her on our team. Yep.
01:41:05
Speaker
It's good to know. Working for the kingdom. We need pawns to sacrifice for the long game, you know? Yeah, that's true.
01:41:14
Speaker
Oh, man. Well, I'm sorry I inflicted ah Melanie Mack upon all of you. yeah i would encourage you not to follow her. It looks like her online career is pretty much over anyways. So, you know, there is some justice in the world.
01:41:29
Speaker
And if you do follow her, unsubscribe, please, immediately. Yeah. Well, thank you, folks, for listening. we will see you next time.
