Based Camp: Reading Reddit Hate Comments

This is a very bad automatically translated audio transcript of the episode: Hello, Malcolm. Hello, Simone. It's wonderful to be here with you today. What are we talking about? We are talking about Reddit, which is one of our favorite places on the internet, even when it hates us, right? Oh no. Is this gonna be one of those ones where you read mean things to me and I have to react? I would love that, honestly.

Sometimes people ping our accounts because they know us, like they know who we are. Yeah. On Reddit. And so I'll get a little email notification. And then there's some really long thread that talks about how we're terrible people. Well I love that, that No, that's great.

Yeah, I personally really enjoy seeing people get roasted online, but I also wonder what those people think about their comments about them. And so I think we're only doing the internet a service by. Offering our thoughts to those who might care to your No, I, I agree. I, I I always want to do one of those, those Bain things when people are like, oh, people are making fun of you online.

Like, are you scared? And it's like, I, I, you know, I was born in the darkness. You, I was born in the cri Yes. Sorry. I, I proposed to her on Reddit. With like brownies and stuff. I love, people are like, they think we have this like elite self image or something. It's like we have been unapologetically nerdy from day one.

I do not know where anyone started calling us Elite elite gamers, maybe as I say, but I don't think yeah. All right, so let's go over these red if thread heads. Well, and it's so context. The Reddit thread that we're going over is one that posted a or show them a picture. You can see like, yeah. So someone posted a screenshot of, I think a tweet about us and specifically a Telegraph article.

That framed us as the elite couples breeding to save mankind. Which is how the telegraph chose to frame our prenatal advocacy. And I think what really got people about that is, By the way, this is their words, not ours. It's not like we show up and like talk to journalists about our S advocacy and we're like, well, we'll only speak to you if you frame us as elites and breeders, as as elite, as an elite couple, as as elite breeders.

I think that we care about prenatal because we think our genes are superior to everyone else's. It like, What that narrative people wanna hear. Right? They don't, they don't wanna actually engage with any of the ideas cuz they may have to change the views on the world. So, oh, God forbid. Yes. So anyway, somebody, let's go, let's go.

Somebody tweeted somebody tweeted this or they posted an image of someone saying, I'm honestly struggling to come up with a joke about this. I'm just super confused. What makes them elite? The fact that they look like nearsighted, parsnips, what am I missing here? The first comment is how are they elite?

And yet they both look 14 and 40 at the same time, which is I guess both a, a compliment and, well, y'all around 40, so. Well, to me it's, it's kind of an insult, right? Because I identify as a 62 year old woman and, you know, they're off by like, you know, quite, quite a few years, but that one's not biting enough.

Let's keep going. Hmm. Well, they say it's all in our clothes that, that we, we dress old. And, and therefore, but I think it's cuz you have a baby face that you look young. Think I have a baby face. I have a youthful face. A youthful, okay. Youthful. Ok. Oh, baby prints should have a bunch of fat on it. Okay.

I have, oh, I have a, a teenager phase. You have a teenager. You have a youthful spring in your step. I think it's low amounts of. You know, if, if, if you, well, that's what someone says here, that we haven't had enough stress in our life to display as grown up as most people perceive it. So our phenotype will continue to stay as it is.

Say I actually, that's true. I, I think that stress ages people and I think that you sort of get a certain number of units of stress in your life as opposed to years of age. Mm-hmm. So agree with that. Common. A hundred percent agree. Yeah. They see you. Either there's something we haven't had stressful things happen to us, like Simone knows my origin story.

Like I, I've had a. Both of us have had very stressful lives. The answer is whether or not you allow the stress to eat at you or whether or not you choose just to not feel it and, and just move on with things. Well, they say we're either the most chill and laid back people ever, or so incredibly privileged.

We can't even imagine. They, they, they have a guess, of course, that we are so privileged and out of touch that we would never show age because like vampires who feast on the blood of, of the weak, we benefit from, you know, I don't know the, the, the disempowered. More people emphasize that we're, we look like we're in our mid twenties, but we dress like boomers.

And some people think that we are trying to use the fact that we. Like having sex to justify like, I guess that we are prenatal because we need a reason to look intelligent for liking sex enough to have a lot of kids. Can you read the comment? Yeah. They're breeding to save mankind. We all know what kind they are.

Dudes, it's okay to admit you like orgasms. No need to bring it to the future of the human race. Hopefully that's the weirdest thing. I will write all day. Okay, well, so this is really interesting for two front. One is this whole idea of kind like our whole organization. Everything we focus on is on preserving human diversity.

I know that people like us are gonna be okay because we'll make sure they're okay with our own breeding efforts. The only reason we're public about this is cause we want people not like us to also exist in the future. You know, as we often say, if we have just eight kids, which we're definitely gonna have, and they have eight kids, And you do that for just 11 generations or we will, unless something goes majorly wrong, you know, that's more descendants to live honors today.

I'm not worried about people like us in terms of the second point there, which I find really interesting cause it's something to get all the time, is people being like, you have a breeding fetish our kids are produced through ivf so.

That's nonsensical, but it's, I think, a sign as to how depraved our society has become through this sort of ideological mind virus that has infected, you know, urban populations in our society and, and the universities of our society progressivist of more broadly. But there's this specific brand of it that's really just like this virus that eats the way people sees the world, so they're no longer able to consider other ideas.

And. Th they are not able to imagine a reason for a person to do something outside of sexual gratification or it being a portion of their sexual or gender identity to the extent that they're not able to imagine why we would ideologically be interested in continuing the human race. Well, one person I would say has taken both of those arguments that they, that you've made or both of those concepts, but like also completely misinterpreted them.

Okay? So this person says these two are specifically convinced that it's their responsibility to populate the world with their very special genes. And they have plans and I think either contracts or pledges demanded that each of their descendants have at least eight kids for the next 11 generations. I honestly would not.

Be surprised to discover they'd never had sex and did it all through ivf so, well, we didn't do it all through ivf, so they are very right. We do not have any sort of contractor pledge like that or anything. It's more just I, I think if you look at the, the, the groups that are high fertility in the face of prosperity, they are often groups with distinct and defined cultures, which we have.

I mean, that's what makes
