WEBVTT 00:00:01.219 --> 00:00:03.700 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep get 00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:06.820 Sheared podcast. I'm your host Austin Creed. 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.679 And you know, my friends, the whole theme of 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.519 this show is centered around, of course, people, 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.000 politics and popular culture. But I think we 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.660 need to really discuss one of the pinnacles of 00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:21.320 the show. And that would be understanding how 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.140 you're being lied to and exploited by various 00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:28.940 forces in the world, various forces that have 00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:33.460 power and influence. The our focus today on what's 00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:36.619 called the big con now. I did not create this 00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:41.899 term The big con I first heard from a guy named 00:00:41.899 --> 00:00:45.380 Steven Crowder He's been on the conservative 00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:49.859 kind of comedic space for some time but the big 00:00:49.859 --> 00:00:52.399 con and the reason I want to talk about it is 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.840 because the left and the right in America politically 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.640 are very opposite but also verge on a very similar 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.219 point. And that's centered around the hate business. 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:08.819 You might ask, awesome, what is, what is the 00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:12.620 hate business? What is hatred incorporated? Hatred 00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:15.379 incorporated along with religion incorporated 00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:19.840 are people who don't actually have opinions. 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.620 They have brands that are based off of certain 00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:27.920 platforms. For example, we'll take people on 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.700 the left or the right who Every time something 00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:34.140 happens is racism. Every time something happens. 00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:37.260 Oh, it's men and women's fault or it's men's 00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:39.819 fault. It's women's fault. It's racism. It's 00:01:39.819 --> 00:01:42.480 anti -Semitism. Like anytime anything happens, 00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:47.140 they immediately are the shill a bot for one 00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:49.680 side or the other. Instead of looking at things 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.280 in a dynamic way, exploring them with any amount 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.700 of detail. Instead, it's only based off of trying 00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.909 to rage bait you. Trying to get you triggered 00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:03.209 get your views get you to comment now that you've 00:02:03.209 --> 00:02:06.890 ever been on X which if you are Follow me at 00:02:06.890 --> 00:02:10.310 cheap get shared But if you're not you're not 00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:12.830 missing a whole lot when it comes to just rage 00:02:12.830 --> 00:02:16.550 be Everywhere as far as the eye can see I'm in 00:02:16.550 --> 00:02:20.909 Illinois driving at this very moment and There's 00:02:20.909 --> 00:02:25.129 cornfields Everywhere as far as the eye can see 00:02:25.129 --> 00:02:29.120 Now I haven't seen aliens Carve things in them 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.840 just yet. But in the same way that right now 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.719 I see corn as far as the eye could see on on 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.879 the internet on social media on The mainstream 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.379 media you see things that are trying to get you 00:02:42.379 --> 00:02:46.819 and excited get you to react Get you to respond 00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:51.340 in a way That's trying to circumnavigate your 00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:54.419 reasoning circumnavigate your ability to think 00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:58.800 critically and that's what I call referred to 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.719 as Hatred Incorporated. You what are people who 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.180 talk about capitalism is bad every second. It's 00:03:08.180 --> 00:03:12.099 a business move. You need to be able to separate 00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:17.039 manufactured anger. Yeah, for example, I'll give 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.120 you a recent example that I think will demonstrate 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.819 my point of the big con or Hatred Incorporated. 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.629 So Hulk Hogan. when he rest in peace died recently. 00:03:30.150 --> 00:03:32.969 And one of the bodybuilding influencers, they 00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:36.729 was Joey Swole. Not a bad guy. I've seen some 00:03:36.729 --> 00:03:41.229 of his videos. He's not bad. But what got my 00:03:41.229 --> 00:03:43.969 goat, my friends and I'm let me know if this 00:03:43.969 --> 00:03:45.650 bothers you and if you don't know what I'm talking 00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:49.930 about and what I'm about to say. He goes to I 00:03:49.930 --> 00:03:52.629 think it's his gym or the gym, I don't know, 00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:55.360 but he goes to the gym. And he's wearing this 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.159 Hulk Hogan outfit to celebrate the legacy of 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.740 the WWE star. And just celebrate the fact that 00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:05.080 he lived a great life. He was taken from us too 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.159 soon. And people immediately snapped back at 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.759 him. The bot farms, the professional victims, 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.339 all those people immediately snapped on him. 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.459 Oh, how dare you? He said the N word like 20 00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:22.779 years ago. He's a racist scumbag. And how dare 00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:27.560 you celebrate him? And to his credit, he did 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.019 not fold immediately. He pushed back. But then 00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:36.279 when he pushed back, he then re took back his 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.019 pushback and he decided he's going to apologize. 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.300 Now I, for one will, you will never, and I'll, 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.379 I want this to be on the record. You will never 00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:53.650 ever see me apologize to bot farms. professional 00:04:53.650 --> 00:04:58.449 victims, race hustlers, feminists, and any of 00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:01.449 these people. I will never, ever do it. I don't 00:05:01.449 --> 00:05:04.449 care what brands won't promote this show. I don't 00:05:04.449 --> 00:05:06.670 care what people say about me on the internet. 00:05:07.089 --> 00:05:09.769 I don't care about any of that rubbish. None 00:05:09.769 --> 00:05:14.490 of it. I will never be this guy. But Joey Swole 00:05:14.490 --> 00:05:16.860 on the other hand, He decided he was gonna go 00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:20.220 out there, and he was gonna apologize. Oh, everybody, 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.699 I'm so sorry. Oh, I didn't know all these horrible 00:05:24.699 --> 00:05:27.339 things about Hulk Hogan, and then I said the 00:05:27.339 --> 00:05:30.120 word colored, and oh my gosh, I don't wanna be 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.139 racist. Please don't take my money. Oh, I'm sorry. 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.720 No, that's not what he said. That was just the 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.439 interpretation. What he actually said was, oh, 00:05:39.819 --> 00:05:44.670 people are educating me. I'm learning. I won't 00:05:44.670 --> 00:05:47.470 talk about this kind of content anymore. Yeah, 00:05:47.490 --> 00:05:51.050 that type of rubbish, right? And I was sitting 00:05:51.050 --> 00:05:54.350 there as I was listening to this god -awful apology. 00:05:54.670 --> 00:05:56.230 And I'm sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, 00:05:57.110 --> 00:06:02.870 how pathetic can you get, man? You do realize 00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:05.529 that a lot of these people, they're not genuine. 00:06:05.910 --> 00:06:07.750 Not Joey Swole, but the people who are pretending 00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:11.459 to be angry by what you've said. They're professional 00:06:11.459 --> 00:06:16.920 victims race hustlers Liars feminists bot farms 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.560 the whole nine yards. They're not really upset 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.160 and because He was a I'm assuming his likelihood 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.199 was likely threatened probably because of his 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.980 brand deals and whatever whatever He got concerned 00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:34.399 and he was like all I gotta apologize. No No, 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.720 you don't apologize to people because it's not 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:42.420 even real outrage You ever know anybody who will 00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:47.259 feign anger, feign like they care about issues 00:06:47.259 --> 00:06:49.500 that have absolutely nothing to do with them 00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:53.300 at all? Oh, I'm so torn up about these feminist 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:57.500 issues and I'm a man. And all these things, these 00:06:57.500 --> 00:07:00.279 types of schmucks, right? They pretend to care. 00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:04.639 Oh, I care so much about lesbian. LGBTQ issues, 00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:08.079 even though it doesn't affect me at all. Oh, 00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:10.660 I care so much about the immigrants because, 00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:14.040 you know, I have such a big heart and it makes 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.860 me feel bad that that they're not here anymore 00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:20.339 and they want to do better for themselves and 00:07:20.339 --> 00:07:22.300 their families, even though they're selling drugs 00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:26.620 and killing people. Yeah, that's what I'm talking 00:07:26.620 --> 00:07:30.730 about. Those people view who act like Al Sharpton 00:07:30.730 --> 00:07:33.069 in my opinion who's a complete race hustling 00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:36.550 scumbag They'll their ilk the people who don't 00:07:36.550 --> 00:07:39.129 they don't have any real opinions It's all for 00:07:39.129 --> 00:07:41.810 money if there wasn't money in what they're saying 00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:45.009 They wouldn't say it those types of people and 00:07:45.009 --> 00:07:47.850 then the brainwashed masses who go with the program 00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:50.970 thinking that this is a genuine opinion They 00:07:50.970 --> 00:07:53.009 think these people are real, but they're authentic. 00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:56.220 They're not It's all about money. If they didn't 00:07:56.220 --> 00:07:58.160 make money saying what they're saying, they wouldn't 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.480 say it. But unfortunately, we're surrounded by 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.620 these schmucks and it's part of the big con to 00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:09.899 get you to think, oh, these issues are actually 00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:13.139 important. Oh, I should care about these things. 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.500 Why? Why should you care about these things? 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.879 The answer is you shouldn't. Unless you want 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:25.680 to. But for some reason, everybody wants to sit 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.019 there and apologize. Oh, I can't have a controversial 00:08:30.019 --> 00:08:33.940 opinion. Oh, I'm so scared. Oh, what if people 00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:37.539 judge me? Man, fuck all that shit. Who cares? 00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:41.139 What do you care if someone says something to 00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:44.100 you? Like, oh, oh, you said something that offended 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:48.139 me. You should be sorry. Why? I didn't say it 00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:52.220 on purpose to offend you. Even if I did, who 00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:55.620 cares? Why are you so sensitive? Why are you 00:08:55.620 --> 00:09:00.100 such a snowflake melting instantly? Soon as you 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:02.899 hit the ground floor of reality, I don't understand 00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:06.200 this. Why people want to get away with it. That's 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.399 what I don't understand. I don't understand why 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.159 they do it. There's a lot of money in it. A lot 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.340 of fame in it. Oh yes, there is. But you need 00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:18.340 to understand the difference. There is huge difference 00:09:18.340 --> 00:09:22.639 between guys like me and women out there as well. 00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:26.299 who take things on from a dynamic standpoint. 00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:29.320 They want to discuss things, bringing history 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.620 and culture and mathematics and philosophy and 00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:37.440 all these things into the equation. Instead of 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.659 just having a knee jerk reaction that's predictable 00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:45.500 and boring and purely for rage bait. I don't 00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:49.240 rage bait people. I might provoke you into wanting 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.139 to engage in conversation, but I'm not going 00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:53.840 to sit there and rage bait. It's wasting my time. 00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:57.120 Everybody and their grandma with an AI bot farm 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.879 can do that bull crap. I don't want to do it. 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.940 Instead, I'd rather focus on telling you how 00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:07.779 you are being deceived. You are being sheared 00:10:07.779 --> 00:10:12.740 by these wolves who in sheep's clothing or pretending 00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:17.179 to be genuine, pretending to have Facts in theories 00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:19.740 and realities that you're unaware of when in 00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:22.480 fact they have an axe to grind They're making 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.500 money off what they're saying. They don't actually 00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:29.100 believe what they're saying Because they did 00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:30.860 they would say it without having to make money 00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:34.840 or they'd be more dynamic in their approach and 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:41.500 Said they act like bots CPU players But yet a 00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:44.139 lot of people follow these accounts they listen 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.200 to them. I don't know why. Maybe you want to 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.179 like them. I don't know. My friends, the whole 00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:54.000 theme of this show and I hope the whole theme 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.700 for your life should be, hey, let's focus on 00:10:57.700 --> 00:11:01.639 thinking for ourselves. Deciding, wait a minute, 00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:04.100 do I even know? Do I like this? Do I agree with 00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:08.940 this? Is this right? Instead of saying, you know 00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:10.700 what, I like this, I'm going to accept it or 00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:13.679 I don't like that, so I'm going to reject it. 00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:18.470 Do not ever, I repeat, do not ever let that be 00:11:18.470 --> 00:11:21.309 you because then you're living life on autopilot 00:11:21.309 --> 00:11:24.470 and you will never be a free thinker in the marketplace 00:11:24.470 --> 00:11:28.330 of ideas. It's impossible. You'll be like every 00:11:28.330 --> 00:11:32.129 other schmuck who sits here day and night believing 00:11:32.129 --> 00:11:37.110 what everybody else tells them. Being driven 00:11:37.110 --> 00:11:40.590 like I got a cow drive with sheepdogs, marking 00:11:40.590 --> 00:11:43.149 you along, keeping you in line. down a certain 00:11:43.149 --> 00:11:46.570 path they have designed for you, as opposed to 00:11:46.570 --> 00:11:48.470 you saying, wait a minute, hold up, hold up, 00:11:48.649 --> 00:11:53.470 back up a second. Do I even agree with this? 00:11:53.889 --> 00:11:57.490 Have I explored this? Have I done research? Have 00:11:57.490 --> 00:12:01.350 I listened to people I don't like, keyword don't 00:12:01.350 --> 00:12:06.590 like? It's important. I don't care if it's about 00:12:06.590 --> 00:12:09.669 politics, relationships, life advice, career 00:12:09.669 --> 00:12:12.480 advice. I don't care what it's about. You should 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:18.200 apply this to every facet of your life. And don't 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.519 let people gaslight you. This is a very important 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.620 point. People will try to talk shit, gaslight 00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:29.259 you, manipulate you while you're trying to improve 00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:33.919 your mindset. Ignore that shit. Ignore it. Push 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.039 it out of your mind. Do not let it affect you. 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.080 Don't care about it. Cause you're going, you 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.879 are now swimming up stream. You're not going 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.080 with the flow anymore. You are not acting while 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.879 most people think you should act. You don't have 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.399 allegiances. You don't have a club as you're 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:57.320 a member of. You are a party of one. You are 00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.539 someone who's a free thinker and that is the 00:12:59.539 --> 00:13:02.440 ultimate Achilles heel and the ultimate danger 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:08.139 to any organization or government. It's important 00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:12.080 for us to think critically and not just think 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.740 with our feelings, not just feel like we're right 00:13:15.740 --> 00:13:19.139 or want to be right. Ignore that. That's a waste 00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:22.100 of your time and it will not benefit you in the 00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:27.240 long term. My friends, I want you to assess yourself. 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.059 I want you to look at who you follow on social 00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:32.080 media. I want you to see who you watch on TV, 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.240 what you watch on TV, whether it be the news, 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.490 whether it be fantasy shows, movies, because 00:13:39.490 --> 00:13:43.450 we all soak it up like a sponge. You need to 00:13:43.450 --> 00:13:46.929 be aware of what's influencing you so that you 00:13:46.929 --> 00:13:50.250 know what your weak points are, how you're being 00:13:50.250 --> 00:13:52.490 conned, how you're being manipulated, or if you're 00:13:52.490 --> 00:13:58.909 at risk for certain types of manipulation. Really, 00:13:59.549 --> 00:14:01.470 don't just listen to this and ignore what I'm 00:14:01.470 --> 00:14:04.299 asking you to do. Really look through and look 00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:06.320 at what you listen to and who you follow on the 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.179 internet. What you listen to, what you read. 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:14.100 It's important for us. Who you come in contact 00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:19.159 with, that's a big one. And understand how you've 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:20.980 gotten to where you are and if that's where you 00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:23.080 want to continue to be with what you believe 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:28.720 on any number of important critical issues. Do 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.389 that, not for me. Do it for yourself. and get 00:14:33.389 --> 00:14:37.950 back to me. It'll change your life. My friends. 00:14:39.389 --> 00:14:43.590 I'm going to head out. I have Morgan hard all 00:14:43.590 --> 00:14:48.129 week. It's been incredibly hard. I'm on the edge 00:14:48.129 --> 00:14:50.110 of burnout and doing what I'm doing, but that's 00:14:50.110 --> 00:14:52.009 not an excuse for me to give up and just means 00:14:52.009 --> 00:14:54.450 I got to work harder means I got to stick it 00:14:54.450 --> 00:14:56.210 out. Got to decide, do I even want to keep doing 00:14:56.210 --> 00:15:01.639 what I'm doing? Again. This advice, I have to 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.700 follow it. Otherwise, I'm a hypocrite and I refuse 00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:06.639 to be that. You should never want to be a hypocrite 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.759 either. My friends, let me know what you think. 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.220 Let me know what you found. If you followed through 00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:16.539 on a thought exercise, I challenge you to do. 00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:19.820 Let me know what you found. It will probably 00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:23.879 surprise you to care yourselves and we will continue 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.700 to talk about this and many other topics when 00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:28.519 I return. Peace.
