right at the edge right now. If you push too far there's going to be a reaction that nobody's going to like.

One of the reactions is that men have given up on dating women. There's an estimate I saw, I don't believe predictions that go this far into the future, but something like in the year I don't know 2050 or something or 2030 half of all women in the reproductive ages would be single. Half of them meaning that they would never be married. So not temporarily single but half of that cohort will just never be married. And I'm not saying they should, not saying we should. Again we're not talking about what anybody should do. I'm just describing. So that there's something catastrophic happening about how we're dealing with each other.

I think we'll figure it out. I think we'll figure it out before it goes too far because that's what we do. We're good at figuring out stuff before it goes too far.

Yeah I just saw a comment on the locals platform that is the perfect summary of this and then I'll go to the next topic. Here's the perfect summary. A gentleman on Locals just commented "I never hit a woman but what is a woman?" Perfect. All right I'm going to end this topic on that because I can't top it. That's the money shot. So we'll end that one on the money shot and move to the next topic.

All right you know I love a good conspiracy theory don't you? I love a good one. Now I don't like bad ones where they're just like obviously false you know and I try to debunk the bad ones as much as possible because the bad ones just make you look less credible. If you go into a conversation believing something ridiculous nobody's going to believe the next thing you say right? If you start with something ridiculous.

That said some conspiracy theories turn out to be true don't they? Don't they? Yes they do. And so here's my favorite one and I want to be really clear I'm not endorsing the accuracy of it. I present it to you for your entertainment not as truth, not as truth, not as truth. All right I tweeted it and you'll find it in my Twitter feed but there's a long thread in which some individual, the anonymous type person, has looked through all the photos of various events such as the Charlottesville fine people march, the January 6th event, and the fake people who pretended to be racist on some campaign I forget what it was.

So there were several events where they have photos of participants and here's the fun part. The claim is that he has identified all of the FBI agents who are common to several of those groups. He's got pictures of them in uniform and then also in more than one of those groups.

Now some of the identifications you'll look at and you say I'm not so sure you got that face right. Like okay I can see why but I'm not convinced. There isn't you know two chubby bearded guys who look like that right? Like you know one chubby bearded white guy looks a lot like another chubby bearded white guy with a hat. Am I right? You put a hat on a chubby white guy with a beard faces look pretty similar right? So I can't confirm that the photos that he's matched up are really saying what they mean to say because the other alternative is that racists are real and they join more than one group or one group gets merged with another. So another reason that people could be in the same group multiple times could easily be that they're just racist and they like to be in more than one group. Something like that. I wouldn't rule it out.

However when you see the faces in the marchers of the fine people, remember the tiki torch carrying people, was there ever anything about that group that immediately stuck out to you? It was very odd about them that was really big. Anybody see it? Yeah they all look like feds. They all look like feds. I'm not saying they were. I'm sure they weren't all feds but how do you get a group of that many Americans who all look like feds? Now some of it was because they were college students okay so they're relatively fit and young but no they didn't look like a randomly collected group of people at all.

So this conspiracy theory falls and by the way you know that would indicate January 6 had a bunch of feds. So here's where I'm gonna take my opinion. So far I'm just describing right? Here's my opinion. I believe the Charlottesville thing has always been an anti-Trump op. I don't think it was organic. I think it was done to take Trump out by and then when he made his awkward statements about it they said "Ah we got him. We can take that out of context" which they did. Because if you show the video of the event and then you take it out of context Trump's comments it's the end of him right? And I would argue that's why Biden won in the most recent election in 2020. I think Biden only won, remember that was his biggest campaign thing was those racists. I think Biden knows that it was an op and I think that they finally brought it all together in a powerful way and it defeated Trump. That wasn't the only thing but I think it was important.

So my opinion is that was never real. I don't know if you know those pictures of people and the thread I don't know if that's real but I'm sure that that was organized by not racists. Well they might have been coincidentally racist but it was organized by somebody for political reasons not for you know to march for racism. And by the way why would anybody even bother having that rally ever? Think about that. Why would anybody bother even having that rally? Is anybody having one today? Did anyone have one the year before? No it's entirely something that doesn't happen in the United States in modern times. It's happened in the past of course but in modern times that type of event can't happen like not organically. Right now I say can't but of course anything's possible I suppose.

That one was so artificial looking that I choose as a you know I could be wrong. I could change my opinion if other information comes but my working hypothesis is that you h
