My friends welcome to the sheep get sheared podcast.
I'm your host Austin Creed and my friends. I
Think we need to have a discussion and I want
I saw a story on X and that really prompted me
to do this show today I've been thinking about
doing this show for some time, but I think now
is the time now since I'm gonna need to do it
Well, the time has come for me to finally make
this make this podcast so that We as men and
ladies if you're listening to the show today,
I'd love for you to sound off. I'd love for you
to Say what you think about this topic, but I
mainly one would dress the men in the audience
Because Today we're going to discuss the story
that got me to think about what why I'm gonna
do this show today And then I'm gonna tie in
the story that was triggered from this initial
Comet that I saw an X So what prompted this show
today, which I'm going to title Monsters are
not created. They are made The reason I use that
phrase is it's a novel phrase. You know, I understand
that it's overused and in fiction but Many people
don't know where that story really kind of comes
from and in my opinion it comes from the story
of Fenrir the wolf now I'm not talking about
the Marvel version of Fenrir, which was horrible,
horribly done, absolutely disgustingly bad. I'm
not talking about Thor Ragnarok in the Marvel
movie where they have Fenrir be some dumb wolf
that's used by Hela, who's Thor's older sister.
No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about the actual
myth from the Vikings and even before the Vikings
in the Viking age in 800 AD. Fenrir the wolf
is a cautionary tale And as you can imagine from
what I just said it stems from the old the monsters
are not created they are made now before I go
into the story of Fenrir himself, I want to go
into the The post that really got me talking
about this story and I commented on if you're
not following me on X I recommend you do, because
I post on there every single day, multiple times.
And what I posted was in response to this woman's
post where she was talking about the not all
men, because the story was about a so -called
pro -grape club that was meeting in person. First
of all, I don't understand why people are just
outing themselves like this. Anyone who supports
Graping people and if you can read between the
lines, I don't want to really I Don't want to
you know and get my show completely shut down
Because YouTube and all these other platforms
have different rules and engagement but what
I will tell you is Apparently there was this
group in France And on the internet who was supposedly
supposed to meet up and they were pro -graping
women minus the G And this boxing club of women
were going to show up to the meeting place. And
then this woman posts in response to the story
from this article. Stating that when the men
can't use the phrase, not all men, because it
was these men and then these men over here. And
basically her post was about men want all men
want to grape all women. And my response to this,
to this woman was this. I said, look up the story
of Fenrir as it serves as a cautionary tale of
how monsters are created and not, how monsters
are made and not created. Using, using the not
all men argument as a dismissal and saying that
basically all men, it is all men. And instead
of the not all men, you're actually going to
make more men Like these monsters, these great
lists or want to be great lists, allegedly. As
opposed to making men allies of yours. That's
what I said. And I stand behind what I said.
Because let's be real here, gentlemen. Let's
be real. Let's do some basic math because arithmetic
is important because numbers don't lie. Let's
let's really get down to brass tacks. If let's
let's flip the script. Let's do something else
for a second. let's say that you woke up one
day and Everyone was convinced that you committed
a violent crime right you know you didn't because
you didn't do it, but Everybody is telling you.
Oh, you're a monster. You did it. You beat this
person up You did this you did that everybody
keeps telling you Oh, you're such a horrible
piece of garbage because you did this and you
know, you didn't do it You know, you're innocent.
You know that you like wait a minute. I never
did this But everybody around you is echoing.
Oh, you're a monster. You did this you want to
do it again This is not in the other and you
hear that every day. What are you more likely
to do? When you're more likely to keep trying
to be a good person or you more likely to be
like, you know what F this I'm gonna go do what
everybody thinks I already am because they're
gonna treat me like it whether I am or not So
I'm honest will actually embrace it What are
you more likely to do? Now it wouldn't happen
today might not even happen tomorrow But at some
point you're gonna ask that question of wait
a minute if I'm the bad guy whether I've actually
act like one or not Why not just be the bad guy?
That is the story of Fenrir the wolf now now
we're now many of you made me know a little bit
about Norse mythology Some of you might have
read about Thor or you might see the Marvel movies
from Disney But you don't know who Fenrir the
Wolf actually was. And by actually was, I mean
like the myth itself. I don't think he actually
existed. He's a myth, a cautionary tale, as it
were. Fenrir is the son of Loki, Loki being the
trickster god of Asgard. His siblings were Jormagan,
the serpent who had circled Midgard and Hel,
the woman who controlled the underworld. Now
Fenrir himself, was raised on Asgard. He was
not evil. He was not mean. He was just a supernatural
wolf who was raised amongst the Aesir, meaning
Odin, Thor, the gods of Asgard. But as he grew,
the gods became wary of him. And there was a
prophecy that Fenrir would be the one to end
Odin. So what they did was they took this wolf
who had no desire to hurt any of them now keep
in mind He wasn't hurting anybody. He wasn't
doing anything wrong. He just wanted to be accepted
He just wanted to be accepted amongst the gods
of Asgard They started to play a game with him
where they would chain him and Every hoping that
it would hold him and he couldn't escape but
every time he would break the chains because
he got bigger and stronger as time went on they
acted like oh yeah we were just playing a game
with you good job you made it out they were treating
him like he was an animal like he was a beast
something to be scared of when he had done nothing
all that had happened was other people had said
he was a monster he Other people became wary
of him because he was bigger and stronger and
they saw him as a threat, even though he had
done nothing to threaten them. Sound familiar?
Does that sound familiar to you? People see you
as a threat. They see you as something that could
hurt. You see, this is where I, and I'll finish
the story. Believe me, I will finish the story.
But to me, this is where we intersect with society
and why weakness is celebrated and strength is
seen as subpar and dangerous. A rabbit is not
more virtuous than a wolf. The rabbit can't hurt
anybody. The rabbit's harmless. So it takes no
virtue for the rabbit to not hurt someone because
he can't. Now a wolf, on the other hand, has
big sharp teeth, big sharp claws, and it can
hurt people. In the same way you take people
who maybe get really good at using guns. They're
really well -trained They're really good with
knives. Whatever it might be really good hand
-to -hand combat. You name it. Whatever you name
it these people Have more virtue than the schmuck
liberals from schlemiel who couldn't hurt anybody
even if they wanted to Just because you can't
hurt someone does not make you more virtuous
than somebody who can chooses not to that takes
virtue that takes character if you can't do something
that's like saying I'm more virtuous than the
guy who because I don't take cocaine and the
other guy takes cocaine well if we both had cocaine
and he took it and I didn't that's virtuous because
now we both have access and I made the choice
to have restraint in the same way that You are
only as virtuous as what you have the power to
not do. As in you can, you could, but you don't.
That takes character. Not, I can't anyway, even
if I wanted to. In the same way that that's where
we get into the conversation of why being a virgin
is virtuous for women and not so much for men.
It's virtuous for Chad, but not for the guy who
the goofy, you know, cornball who couldn't get
laid if you wanted to. That's not virtuous. That's
just a kid of character. Versus Chad, Mr. I got
big muscles and I got money and I got all this
going on for me. He chooses not to. That's character.
That is virtuous. That is why it's virtuous for
women to be virgins, because women can have sex
as much as they want, but if they choose not
to. They choose not to exercise that power that
is virtuous. Now, let's go back to Fenrir real
quick. Let's go back to Fenrir real fast. Fenrir
was being chained and he kept breaking the chains.
And over time, he started to realize, wait a
minute, they don't see me as one of them. They
see no one else is going through this. They see
me as a threat. They see me. as something to
be feared. So what the gods did, as they realized
they couldn't chain him up, was they went to
the land of the dwarves, to Svartelheim. Svartelheim
was the home of the dwarves, the greatest craftsmen
in the nine worlds. They asked the dwarves to
create them a chain that could hold Fenrir. And
after the dwarves did exactly what the gods asked
them to do, just like they had before, They challenged
Fenrir and they said, hey, we have a new chain.
Let's see if you can break free. Now Fenrir being
a supernatural entity like the other gods, he
looked at the chain and he saw, wait a minute,
this is lighter than the chains you've had me
break before and he sensed trickery. So despite
knowing that it was likely a trap, Despite knowing
that it was likely a trap he wanted to prove
to the gods that he was one of them and that
he could trust them And that they could trust
him He said you know what I will put that chain
I will allow you to chain me but And here's the
but You one of you has to put your hand in my
jaws as a show of good faith But you're not trying
to hurt me and that you're this is a game and
in fact not a trap And you know what the telling
sign was None of the gods wanted to put their
hand in his jaws knowing what what they were
about to do and Knowing they were gonna lose
their hand except for one Tear son of Odin said
I will put my hand in your jaws And Tyr did,
and once they shackled Fenrir with the chain
the dwarves had given them, once he realized
he couldn't escape and that the dwarves had crafted
the chain and he couldn't escape, he bent down
and he swallowed Tyr's hand. The gods took Fenrir
with the chains they had bound him with and they
bound him to a boulder and put a sword in his
jaw so he could no longer close his mouth. and
he could not escape. Effectively making him a
monster who hated them when he had no desire
to do so. Never wanted to hurt them, never wanted
to be anything but one of them. You might ask
me, Austin, why is that important? Oh, because
the story is not done yet. When Ragnarok comes,
least according to the traditional story -tellings
of the Norse people. Once Ragnarok happens, Fenrir
will be free and he will have his revenge. And
he does have his revenge. He eventually does
kill Odin. And his two sons swallow the sun and
the moon. You might've asked me, Austin, you
know, I get the story. It's nice. It's cute.
But what does it have to do with the story you
told about the men and the woman saying that
all men basically want to rape women? Oh, well,
it's very simple. The answer is that is exactly
the cautionary tale that a lot of men see in
their own lives today. We are being labeled as
perverts, problems. and grapeists and that we
only want to hurt women and all these things.
Oh, what women I don't think realize and Jomen
echo in the comments of you. If this if you have
had the same thought, if you've realized that
this is happening to us, you let me know when
you discovered it and how it's affected your
life. Ladies, if you're listening, I hope you
learn something because this is exactly the problem.
In the same way that the communists and the socialists
and the left wingers in America are making the
right wing more right wing. By bastardizing us,
castigating us and labeling us things we are
not. Effectively creating the very thing that
they fear. Women are doing the same thing to
men, especially in the Western world. They are
making us and they are making us. They are casting
us as the villain. And then being surprised that
some of the weaker links amongst us are acting
like them. Now, I'm not telling the women that
they are the problem inherently. It's the rhetoric
that's the issue. It's understanding that they
they think they're they think they're warning
people. They think they're doing the right thing.
No. No, you're not. In fact, all you're doing
is making the men who would protect you. You
are turning the Knights who would protect you
for lack of a better analogy into the bandidos.
You are turning them into the Dark Knights. Because
whether they do the right thing or not, they
will be told they are the problem. Whether they
do what's right or not, it doesn't matter. They
are being treated the way the Fenrir was being
treated. as a monster, something to be feared.
And you need to stop it. Because if you don't,
we will see more of these monsters amongst us,
not less. We will see more men become like these
monsters who support raping women than those
who would oppose it. You will see the very shift
that you fear. Because instead of rewarding good
behavior you are saying that we are all the same
We are all like these monsters and the only way
the only thing you will do with rhetoric like
that is Create more monsters not less Instead
of saying hey, you know what these men over here
This is this behavior is a problem. They need
to be more like these good men over here They
need to be more like these men and we're gonna
actually reward these men instead of rewarding
pookie And these scumbags and these criminals
and these gangsters with vagina with lording
them as these cool and hip guys. We're going
to stop doing that. I guarantee you won't happen,
but you know, I'm going to pretend for a second
that they're actually capable of it. This is
what will cause the shift that you actually want.
What you want are men like me who ride the wall.
We're the middle. We understand the world for
what it is, but at the same time, we're not super
nice simps but we're not villains we're anti
-heroes that's what we need more of but most
men are not capable of it because they don't
have the capacity to accept the world for what
it is and then make their own life out of what
they see with their own eyes that takes serious
skill and that takes discipline that's hard but
ladies if you're listening to the show and you
haven't hung up already because i'm not talking
about things that interest you Gentlemen, echo
in the comments. Make your own video reacting
to this one to let me know if I'm out of line
or if I'm right on the money, because I know
I'm right on the money with this. But ladies,
if you're listening to the show and you made
it this far, you need to understand that you
have tremendous power over men. Now, do you have
the power? No. No. Do you have power? Yes. And
as men, we want your validation to an extent,
not all the way, but definitely some of it. And
so when we see you rewarding these men, when
you we see you saying that, oh, you know what?
You're a monster. Whatever you do, regardless
of what, because you were born with a penis that
you didn't ask for. All that does is make men
worse. All that does is make I say, you know
what? Why would I try being a good man? Why would
I try being a decent person if I see all these
bad dudes get rewarded while you talk about how
bad they are and yet reward them? And I'm going
to be seen as this evil patriarchal piece of
garbage anyway. So all I'm going to do is what
I want to do. And that's probably going to be
the worst instinct I have. You need to understand
that that's what's happening out here in this
dating marketplace. Whether you like it or not
doesn't matter. That's what's happening. And
it's up to you to do something about it. That's
your choice Tell me you can say you don't like
how I've said what I've said today But you can't
argue with anything that I've said and if you
want to try go ahead if I understand them This
this is not an emotional show. This was a very
facts based story based Allegorical analysis
of what we see in the dating marketplace today
My friends you let me know gents If you related
to this, if this struck a chord in your soul,
please let me know. I think it did. I can sense
it from here. Ladies, if this affected you, you
let me know. Until next time, I'm out of here.
Peace.
