Our Society Is in the Grips of Madness

Warning: Contains Explicit Language

Huh? That's so weird, right? It's almost like we have two sets of justice here.

Now, the FBI, when it's not arresting people for criminal felony possession of LEGOs, is a disaster. And I'm going to write about this on Monday. In fact, I've already written it, and the title is "Where the Good Apples At?" Because we keep hearing how it's all bad apples, I want to see some good apples. Who the hell has resigned from this nonsense? Who is the guy who got up and said, "I'm not going to do this anymore, my honor, my dignity, means more to mean than my pension, screw you, I quit"?

Every institution is stupid, and they're only getting more stupid.

The American Booksellers Association, again, an organization of people who sell books, and who, presumably, find words important because they sell books, advertised or mentioned that a book called "Irreversible Damage," which is about the irreversible damage inflicted on particular young women who transition as teenagers because they are deluded into believing, "Oh, now I'm a guy! Maybe this will solve all the problems in my life." You know, some drugs, some mutilating surgery, yeah, that'll work well. Well, "Irreversible Damage" points out that this is a terrible, terrible problem, and that our society is in the grips of madness.

We go and laugh at Romans because they have gladiators and orgies and vomitoriums and stuff. The people who pick up the pieces of our suicidal civilization, this is the sh** they're going to laugh at, right? "Get this, these ancient Americans, some of them used to believe a woman could become a man through the power of wanting. And if you chopped her up enough and formed something approximating a penis, she suddenly became a man. Oh, yeah, and men can get pregnant!"

We're going to talk about that in a second.

Back to the Booksellers, because again, presumably, words are important to them, as is selling books. So they say, "We have this 'Irreversible Damage' book. It's out there." Controversial, I guess? The controversy being created by people who think you can change your gender through the power of wanting and that men can have babies. They freak out. The activists freak out.

What does the Booksellers do?

Now, here's what a normal person would do, "Chill, dude. If you don't like the book, don't buy it." No, no, no, no, they couldn't do that. No, they had to put out a statement apologizing because publicizing this book was a violent act. I say again, pointing out that, hey, Abigail Shrier has released a book that comes out against mutilating teenage girls, which I'm against that. I don't know; maybe I'm controversial. But it doesn't seem like a really whacky, extreme position to me to be against mutilating teenage girls.

"It was a violent act. And we need to learn from it and apologize to the trans community!" First of all, I'm not sure that it's the entire trans community because there are people out there who have problems, and those are real problems in some cases. In others, they're probably not. But they deserve compassion, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about the reality of, "Okay, I know you feel like you're a woman, but you're not a woman."

Now, that doesn't make you feel any better, but I can't sit and lie. But the American Booksellers can! The American Booksellers Association pronounced that even acknowledging the existence of this book is an act of violence. Again, you would think the American Booksellers Association would find words to be important and words to mean what they are. The New York Post came out with something similar. It reported that shark nuts, people who really like sharks, now don't want to call them "shark attacks," no, they're now "shark interactions." *Dundun, dundun, dundundundundundun...* "Oh my God! The shark's going to interact us!" 

I remember when Quint is getting freaking gobbled by Bruce the Shark on the boat, right? Blood's going everywhere; there are chunks of him. That's a pretty nasty interaction. No, words do mean something, and words are important, but if you try to change the words, what you are really trying to do is change the thoughts. You're trying to change the scope of allowable opinion. 

When you call things violent that aren't violent, I don't even know why I have to say this? Why do I have to come out and say, "You know, it's not violence when you just point out a book you don't like exists. That's not violence." "Oh, yes it is. I feel unsafe. You're denying my existence!"

Okay, let me ask something, how does my denying your existence, presuming I am doing that, how is denying your existence an act of violence? Why would you care? "Kurt, you don't exist!" "Meh, you're wrong!"

It's all performance art, and we have to stop playing along. And that's the same thing with the good apple, bad apple thing.

I'd like to see some FBI people stop playing along and just go, "Here's my freakin' badge. Here's my freakin' gun. Kiss my ass. I'm walking out of here because I'm not going to frame American citizens, I'm not going to cover up and not act on information about murderers, I'm not going to do the b**** work for political people that the grand poobahs of the agency support."

It ain't just the people upstairs. It's every institution. And everyone who participates in it is complicit. Remember the word "complicit?" That was a, "If you don't repudiate Trump, you're complicit. Complicit." 

See, when they start talking like that, they know that they're actually doing it. It's a giant exercise in projection. They are complicit. They are complicit in these garbage institutions.

The FBI should be disbanded. It is beyond hope. I mean, when you find out that they were kind of like, "Eh, we were lying about the way we kinda screwed up an investigation of a pervert who molested hundreds of girls," that's a problem.

When they're busting down doors of the wrong house because somebody might have Nancy Pelosi's lectern. No, no, no, we can't do that. We can't be any part of that, and we shouldn't be any part of that. But there are people, and they keep their heads down, and they say, "Look, I have a mortgage. I have a car payment. I can't; I can't quit." Well, you can! And I know it's tough; I know it's hard. But you kind of took an oath. You're the guy who says, "I'd get shot down fighting off bank robbers," which the FBI, back when it wasn't a joke, actually did. The giant Florida shootout, where a couple of FBI agents were killed, and they finally shot those two guys who actually outgunned them, and that led to a whole bunch of interesting improvements in their weaponry and training.

You see it in the military, too. You see guys who are indisputably brave. Look, General Milley, who's a terrible general, was perfectly brave in combat, apparently. You know, he went in, he fought, he did a good job at that level, and now he rolls over like a little b**** for the liberals. All the time. What's it this time? "Donald Trump wanted to have a coup, but I said, 'No!'" Oh, did you? Were you the guy standing between us and f***in' insurrection? Oh, you're so butch. Bull****. He's a f***in' joke. 

The best part is Trump said, "The only reason why I picked this is guy is because Mattis hated him. And Mattis was terrible." See, now that was funny. We don't deserve Trump. Gosh, I miss his mean tweets.

I also miss gas I can afford!

What is it, 7% inflation now? Oh, but it doesn't matter. Let's spend another $3.5 trillion on human infrastructure! You know what else is infrastructure? Violence is infrastructure. 

And men can have babies. There's a new emoji coming out if you want it. If you ever need an emoji to express a dude with a mustache who is round, like having a baby. I'm just going to use it whenever I see somebody from The Bulwark because most of those are great, big fat guys who no one likes. I think that's the perfect emoji—a pregnant dude with a mustache—this really fat guy with a cruise ship—my contributions to humanity.

Anyhoo, we've been going on and on, and the poor dog is there. And he's just going, "Are you finished yet?" I'm never finished. I have so much more.

So, we have new emojis to look forward to. New failures by the FBI to look forward to. We can look forward to this video, this "Stream of Kurtiousness," being labeled actual violence by all the usual suspects. 

So, I want you to read my Townhall on Monday because it kicks butt because I've already started writing it. I want you to follow me on Twitter, and I want you to go to my Locals page, where I do all sorts of cool stuff and interact with people, and I can live stream now. That's going to be fun. 

But the other thing I want you to do is brace yourself for "The Split." You know my Kelly Turnbull books. The 22nd it's coming out. I have the cover. It's in its final edits. What's nice about the way I put these out is when I have a traditional publisher, it's like a nine-month process. Here, I write the book, I edit it, I put the damn book up for sale, and the people stop bugging me because the book's out.

That's my "Stream of Kurtiousness" for today. And I'd like to leave you with this thought: Brian Stelter is a potato. Adios.
