#311 Why Do We Tolerate Royalty FULL SHOW

In this episode: I am joined by a cool lad from England, Chris from the Stereo app. His handle on Stereo - @chris-mcd The beginning of this conversation was very frustrating. I wanted to talk about the pros and cons of having a monarchy and why we tolerate monarchies in this day and age. The conversation was derailed by two white women (Hotmama & Shannon) claiming Native Americans and Aborigines have it so good. Nothing gets my goat more than when a middle-class person in a privileged class speaks on how well a marginalized group has it. Hotmama who lives in the Dakotas said she talked to a Native American and “they get everything for free”. When I pushed back, she left the conversation refusing to hear any actual facts. She clearly wants to remain an angry, ignorant, racist. Shannon went so far as to complain that Aborigines in Australia get their homes paid for by the government and then went on to say they all have drinking problems. I am glad a government that almost genocided them saw it fit to provide the remaining Aborigines with housing. This is a good thing and only a racist would argue against it. I pushed back against both these women and called out their racism. Neither one had any factual information to back up their claims and both of them ended up leaving the podcast as soon as I pushed back. It seems ignorant/racist people when called out on their ignorance and racism want to argue and if they cannot win the argument, they just leave the conversation. Chalk it up to one of my favorite sayings, “ya can’t fix stupid”. As the US tailspins out of control, many are asking “is this the end of empire”? With the infrastructure crumbling and in dire need of repair, our government seems more concerned with funding a proxy war with Russia than taking care of the people here at home. We discuss the often-unspoken truth about Sadam Husein and Muammar Gaddafi and the fact that Gaddafi was about to lift all of Africa out of poverty. He had decided to move to the gold standard and minted a gold coin called the gold dinar for the use of all African nations. Africa is the world's most resource rich continent and this play by Gaddafi would have changed the balance of world power. The powers that be would not stand for that, so he was killed. We are losing our liberties under the guise of “security” with developments like The Department of Homeland Security, The Patriot Act, and Domestic Spying programs as pointed out by Edward Snowden The average US citizen cannot afford a $400 emergency and is 2 paychecks away from homelessness. Homelessness has reached epidemic proportions with an estimated 500,000 people sleeping outside each night. While healthcare costs are the leading cause of bankruptcy here in the US, our government didn’t even offer us Universal Healthcare in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. It seems we have a new mass shooting every week, yet still our politicians do not push for healthcare reform in order to offer mental healthcare to every citizen. Thank you for tuning in!
