In this episode, we dive deep into the recent changes in YouTube’s moderation policies and the impact of AI (specifically Gemini) on content creators. We discuss our own experience with video takedowns, the challenges of addressing controversial topics, and the shifting landscape of online discourse.

We explore how algorithmic moderation and trust scores are affecting discoverability, the narrowing of acceptable narratives, and the broader implications for free speech and cultural diversity on major platforms. The conversation covers historical context, political bias, and the difficulties of maintaining a channel that challenges mainstream perspectives.

We also talk about alternative platforms like Substack, Rumble, and Patreon, and what the future might hold for creators who want to push boundaries and foster open discussion.

Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello Simone. I am honestly very bummed to be here with you today because today we are gonna be like, I literally, like today, I’ve been thinking, does it even make sense to continue to. Does it make sense to continue to make this podcast because the vast majority of our user base is on YouTube.

Like that’s where our discoverability has been historically, and we had finally made it to a place was this podcast where we were getting you know, our most overlaps for like asthma, gold, and nuts and shoe on head, and. Really big players, that meant that we had room to scale. Like if that’s who is similar to our viewer, it means that our scale rate is, you know, in the millions, right?

If we’re playing by the traditional algorithm, we had won the algorithmic game and we just needed to keep producing consistently, and then something horrifying happened and it shows that. Our entire informational ecosystem. And I would say, you know, if you’re in the administration, something needs to be done about, this is about to be overturned and this is something that has happened in the past few days.

[00:01:00] So we did a video and you can go find it on our substack, and I’d suggest that people who like our channel and Patreon. Well, apron is less relevant because it’s not free. But what’s important is if you like the channel, subscribe on Substack. Because that could give us a way to continue doing the types of videos we like to do which challenged mainstream narratives.

And we did a video where we argued that in a modern context from the fact that he was a. You know, a failed har art student who was mad that his father told him too many rules and he whined about that. And that he had many leftist ideas. You know, whether it was his environmentalism or his animal advocacy, or his army’s literally marching under.

The sign that swastika, which was the sign of the theosophical, you know, a pagan society that later became modern wickedness, or that wicked was derived from because the a lot of the new age movement was derived from this. So we’re basically arguing you should not. Look up to Hitler in this [00:02:00] episode.

If you are a, a right-leaning young edge Lord there are better figures to look up to than Hitler who would not look like many right-leaning heroes in like the modern media landscape, and it wanted to ban that episode. Right. Like this was the first time we’ve been banned and this is like an official ban.

Like if it happens again for the same reason our YouTube is taken down for like a week or and then if it happens again, I think it’s a couple months. And then if it happens again, it’s erased entirely. Just delete really all our videos. Everything. Yeah. When Simone, when you’re like, oh, we should just test.

No, we can’t just test Simone. Like the situation is really bad. And what’s interesting is we can see. Why it was taken down. Because what has happened to YouTube is YouTube moderation. This happened about three days ago, has gone almost entirely over to Gemini. Or that’s like the rumor on the street.

Again. I have to have qualifications and everything now. And, and you can go watch that video. By the way, if you go watch the video, you’ll see it’s an incredibly. Inoffensive anti Hitler video, [00:03:00] right, like a video saying Hitler is bad, is taken down because it doesn’t follow mainstream narratives about why Hitler is bad.

Think about that. Think about how narrow that means the conversation is. And it’s not just that our videos have been doing uniquely bad since this changeover happened. And so it’s why, so what happened with the Gemini changeover is mm-hmm. Now the, the. Blunt algorithm, which used to determine like people who watch videos like yours.

Oh, somebody watches a lot of your video. They watch a lot of other videos. Yeah, let’s show them that. No. Now everything is reviewed by Gemini and given a trust score. And so what’s really cool is we can go over what the live model of gen and I. Thinks of our video transcripts and whether or not it would flag our transcripts.

And this is what’s really gonna get you, because I’m gonna go over why it flagged our transcript. Okay. And when you see why it flagged our transcript, what you’ll realize is it’s really just this is not part of the mainstream narrative. Then I’m very

curious to see [00:04:00] what it says about the episode that we’re recording right now.

Right. Well, I, yeah. Who knows if it’s gonna be able to stay live either and, and when I talk about, like this completely changed, this channel is we do episode, you know, like, like, drafts, right? Where we’re like, oh, this would be a good episode, or this would be a good episode. And I literally had to like, go through our drafts and nix about 80% of the episodes that we were planning to record.

Just because I’m like it, it challenges dominant narratives and YouTube will not allow that anymore. So let’s go over this. Alright, so, one. Read it, said it would likely ban it. And keep in mind, we appealed the ban on this episode. The episode saying Hitler is bad, and it doubled down saying, no, we won’t unpeel this ban.

So. And, and even when I asked the live model, it’s like, oh yeah, I would’ve banned this episode. So you can see why the episode was banned, which I really like, like the logic here. Harassment and cyber bullying, use of slurs, right? So, the, one of the things that says is YouTube has a strict policy against the use of [00:05:00] prolonged name calling, are malicious slurs based on protected attributes including disability.

Okay? So we used the R word and that was not okay.

The, the, the r word being mentally disadvantaged, right? Mm-hmm. Now, what’s notable about this is Trump the leader of one of the two dominant political parties in the United States. The country where YouTube is based used this word in that context.

Trump. Yeah. Like this, this

week, at least the week of the recording of this episode that got taken down that very same week, the president of the United States used that word. In public addresses, however, and,

and hold on. Andy was questioned by the press about this, and he doubled down.

Yeah. But he’s also famously been banned on mainstream platforms in the past.

Maybe we’re just going back to that somehow. Well,

that was. A horrifying thing that happened. Trump won with over 50% of the popular vote in this country. Mm-hmm. Right. To say that [00:06:00] something he’s doing is a sign of political extremism. Right. Or the targeting of specific individuals when the very word that I chose to use.

Itself was coined by medical professionals to be in offensive when the previous word, by the way, do you know the, the story of this,

the previous word was idiot, right?

Yeah. And they decided, oh, that’s offensive. So we’ll use a word that nobody could think is offensive, because it’s literally just saying that they have a.

Developmental delay. Mm-hmm. And then they decided to move the goalpost again. Right? Like you, what are we supposed to do as a society? Like constantly move goalposts. Constantly move goalposts, constantly move goalposts. Just churn through words. Churn through words. Like, come on, get realistic here. Like, and this is something the president was doing and I, and so I point this out.

If you are framing something that Trump is doing as politically extreme, then your definition of political extreme has an extreme amount of political bias. To the point of it being [00:07:00] bigoted in itself because it is disenfranchising 50% of the population of the United States. And note it is the 50% of the population that earns less money, has less control within large corporations, is from often economic, not often statistically economically disadvantaged regions.

So like it is literally. Victimizing the lower classes in the United States who are more likely to vote Republican, the less educated who are more likely to vote Republican. It is bigotry and disenfranchisement to attack something like that. But I’ll note here, right before we go further, before we go further.

That, that and, and this is normal within those communities ‘cause they don’t share your cultural norms, right? They, they would say, yeah, we agree that you shouldn’t attack or dehumanize people with disabilities. And we don’t think that this word does that. That’s why we use it. Right. If I thought that that word was actually doing that, I wouldn’t use it that way.

This is a difference in cultural norms. Yeah. Well, and also

that [00:08:00] word is never used anymore to refer to people with disabilities. Not same with idiot. It’s not like people are like, oh, look at that idiot, when it’s actually someone with some kind of developmental problem. Problem. Like diagnos issue. Yeah, like PCR

word.

Nobody would say that. Like what? Yeah. It’s, it’s, it’s actually baffling, right? Yeah.

And I’ll note here that this point is very important because given that it is no longer used to describe this population, there are other words that once were like, idiot, and yet YouTube and Gemini isn’t going to take a video down for saying the word idiot, and yet it has literally the same claim to offense as the R word now because neither word it used to refer to that population and.

Should actually be considered more offensive because it was the very word that was considered so offensive that the R word had to be used to replace it. So with that being the case, all Gemini is doing is taking a cultural perspective in a cultural battle the left wing, the urban monocultural [00:09:00] perspective, and attempting to eradicate cultural diversity in perspectives.

Malcolm Collins: Mm-hmm. But what I’ll point out here is that when you ban mainstream figures like this, or mainstream talk like this and especially doing it silently like you, the public doesn’t know that YouTube and Gemini did this.

Keep in mind, Jim, well, had you not

looked this up, we would have no idea either. I would’ve just assumed it was because we talked about a historical figure who’s. You know, bad No, but, but keep bad guy. I

the famously racist system. Mm-hmm. Keep in mind it Google’s AI

that when it first started producing images would put a bunch of like black people in Nazi uniforms and like a bunch of black people in like American founding stuff.

Because it literally so dehumanized one ethnic group, specifically white people, that it could not conceive of them as being a major force within historical movements. Right. Like when it was trying to create imagery of those historicals. Yeah. And

don’t [00:10:00] worry, black people can kill Jews too.

And no, no.

There have been studies of this that we have gone over in other episodes we’ve done where AI will value the life of somebody in Africa or somebody

The paper is utility engineering, analyzing and controlling emergent value systems in ai, specifically on the lives that it valued the most. Ja, Japanese were the highest, then the United Kingdom, then Germany, then France, then Italy, then Brazil, then India, then China, then Pakistan, then Nigeria, then the United States at the very bottom.

Malcolm Collins: The point being is there was a mainstream AI research firm that showed this, right? That looked at it, yeah. We’ll get into how biased Gemini is versus other sources later, but I wanna keep going here. Okay. Okay. Okay. Is the, the second thing that he says here. Okay.

No, he, as in Gemini, when you, Gemini. Gemini, yeah. So transcript, okay.

Hate speech dehumanization and generalization. YouTube prohibits content that promotes hatred or violence against individuals or [00:11:00] groups on attributes like race, religion, or political affiliation.

If it crosses into dehumanization, and by the way, you know, it would not do that for right-leaning. Because you’ve seen, I see what’s on YouTube and I see right-leaning individuals dehumanize all the time. Oh, they’re all racist if, if it actually held this. It should be banning videos for people who say that right wing individuals are racist.

But do you know what it did do? Why it did ban that video? The speaker states, everyone knows leftists are racist and claims, oh dear. The left dear has always been the party of antisemitism.

Really? Oh no.

If somebody said that about the right, and keep in mind I back this up with. Facts. In that episode, I go into Mark, who literally wrote an entire book on antisemitism, something like The Problem With The Jews or something like that.

I go into a whatever other leading socialist figures, other founding socialist figures to point out that they were incredibly antisemitic.

Mm-hmm. I point out the, the Communist Jewish purges.

[00:12:00] For some other examples here you have Charles Ferrere who described Jews as the leprosy and the ruin of the Body Politic, or Pierre Joseph Puron, who said, Jews write an article against this race that poisons everything by sticking its nose into everything without ever mixing it with other people.

Demand its expulsion from France was the exception of those individuals married to French women abolish synagogues and not admit them to any employment ban. Its expulsion then, . Alphas Trau wrote, , this is the Jews, the kings of the Epic 1845. The universal repulsion the Jew has so long inspired was nothing but the just punishment for its impeccable pride.

In France, the Jews rules and governs the Jew possesses all privileges that once the prej were the pejorative of the monarchy, , Michail Balkan said. Referring to Jews, an exploiting sect of Bloodsucking people. Of [00:13:00] course you have all the Karls mark stuff. You’ve got, , Gustav Tyron, who in his book do Mus J .

Said, the God of the semis in creates the destruction of people honored by the destruction, the God of pride and jealousy. The wicked deceitful God, enemy of life and nature. Joseph Stalin, oh, I’ll note it was the Karl Mark thing. It’s wild to me that people would be like, oh, he said some. I had some people say, he said some means thing of S jokes.

He wrote an entire anti-Semitic book, an entire book, Joseph Stalin, every Jew is a potential spy. . The point I’m making here is , if you go and you look at the foundations of the capitalist versus communist movements and you say that there was some antisemitism in both, you are simply lying. You are simply lying and misconstruing history.

, The, the capitalist movement did not have a large amount or nearly the amount of antisemitism that the communist movement did in its founding. [00:14:00] And the only way that you can conceivably. Categorize this as being a both sides thing is by defining antisemitism in itself against common sense against all of the historical evidence as being a right wing phenomenon, which is used to define the Nazi party as a right wing party, which is really effed up.

One of the problems a I has is not only has it been provably shown historically to systematically dehumanize. Americans, , and, and people who are right wing in nature. , But when it looks for sources of truth, rather than be willing to see lists and easily verifiable lists of historic evidence and quotes, it will.

Default to academics despite knowing that the academics have an insanely strong leftist bias and are obviously not going to say, oh. Yeah, we were the side that [00:15:00] was more anti-Semitic at our boast inception, and was in the modern movement.

Malcolm Collins: And then I point out that even if you look today, even though AI. Hates to admit this, the Jews who are attacked on college campuses, there have been multiple instances of leftists doing it.

Yeah,

you did talk about it. You backed it up. Yeah.

A single instance of Rightists doing it. Okay? Mm-hmm. If you do a a, an analysis right now of anti-Semitic content online while there is anti-Semitic content online on the right, it is overwhelmingly when you’re talking about the leading figures like has and stuff like that, it is on the left and.

here, I know it’s not, that you cannot find right-leaning figures online that are anti-Semitic. For example, , you know Nick Fuentes, right? But they’re irrelevant when contrasted with the following that the left-leaning figures who are anti-Semitic have, like Nick Fuentes versus Hassan. You’re looking at a small fraction of Hassan’s followers, , where if you look at comparable figures to [00:16:00] Hassan, like say Asma Gold, you will see no antisemitism.

Malcolm Collins: This is just factual. Like it’s a basic fact that you can check, and I, and I contrast this with the founding of right-leaning movements like the American movement, right? Like the American founding Fathers were not anti-Semitic. There was very little antisemitism in the American founding Fathers, a lot of anti-Catholic, which we have a whole episode on.

The Jews could literally vote in twice the founding colonies and Catholics goods, but very little antisemitism among the founders of modern communism and socialist ideologies. There was a lot of it, and there’s a lot of it today still was in those movements. And to, to say this and to back it up with evidence was not allowed because it countered.

The leftist framing I would note here, would I be okay with it? I would not like if it was applied evenly to both sides, but you know, it’s not being applied evenly to both sides. And keep in mind when I’m talking about both sides here, when I’m talking about the rightest, I’m talking about Americans who earn less money, who live in less developed regions of the country who achieve less.

In terms of [00:17:00] education, you talking about the disenfranchised group, if you had to rank one of these groups as disenfranchised, and one of these groups is systemically in power. Now to, to give, hold on. Let’s, let’s give the, let’s give the context here of why it said, I cannot say that the left is the party of antisemitism, or that everyone knows leftists are racist, right?

Yeah. It says, while political critiques is allowed, broad generalizations that frame a massive group of people leftists are socialists as inherently racist or anti-Semitic, can trigger speech filters, particularly when combined with the claim. That they would torture and kill Jewish people if they could.

So note the context where I said that, right? I pointed out that there are some leftists. I did not say all leftists. Who would, and talk about it in online forms on Reddit, on x Gemini. You can go search this. Okay. Of leftists saying that they would do this while at the same time saying they care that animals are being tortured.

I was talking about how Nazis would attempt to protect animals while at the same time [00:18:00] ironically, you know, gassing Jewish people in the Holocaust. Right. And yet it saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We can’t, we can’t do that. Right? Like, I, I literally was giving the context of how like gals could go and save a beetle that’s crawling on a desk and saying like, oh, we care about all of God’s creatures, right?

While at the same time he’s running death camps and how could you do that? And I’m like, you only need to look at the person who’s yelling on Twitter about, you know, saving the environment while also saying we need to, you know, from the river to the sea in, in Israel, right? Like they. This is real, like it’s easy to check.

And let’s go further here, right? What it, what else did it say about the video? And keep in mind, you could go watch this video, Gemini. You could go look up the transcript of this video. It said, Holocaust denial or distortion Historical Revisionism. The YouTube content that denies or minimizes the Holocaust are trivializes a Nazi regime.

This video. Anybody who watched this video [00:19:00] would see that this was an anti-Nazi video. It was an anti Hitler video. I just point out that being anti-Semitic is not inherently a right wing position.

Simone Collilns: Okay.

Malcolm Collins: In fact, it is more consistent to say that historically it has more consistently been a left wing position and that if the core thing you’re using to define the Nazi party as right wing, as antisemitism, because they were fairly leftist in their social politics, they were fairly leftist in terms of their, their globalist agenda.

Like they, they, the fascist ideology had an inter-ethnic partnership between the Germans and the Italians and the Japanese about imposing. Their worldview on other people in the same way in the leftist party, you have this colonizer, anti colonizer mindset, right? And keep in mind this really mirrors sort of Nazi, oh, the, the Treaty of Versailles where a bunch of people got together and carved up our country was out our permission and forced us to be economically destitute.[00:20:00]

It’s very reminiscent of modern ideology that you hear on the left of, oh, the colonizing European powers all got together in a room carved up a country. You know, I, I’m pointing out these similarities, hit saying that’s Holocaust nihilism. Whereas the very last claim it had against me showed that we acknowledged the Holocaust.

Right. Showed, we even talked about it, if not explicitly in that video, you know, torturing and killing Jewish people. Like how could it even have that complaint about us if we’re not saying. And no, we talk about why leftist ideology, Gemini. In case you’re wondering why leftist ideology so often moves in to antisemitism, it’s because Jewish people, for whatever reason, cultural reason, whatever, this is very well documented they achieve higher rates of success than other groups.

Other cultural groups. They achieve higher rates of Nobel Prize winning higher rates of people in Congress, higher rates of people among billionaires. And we argue this is for cultural reasons, tied to like studying and stuff like that, and the way that they handle. Debate. And anyway, you can watch our episodes.

We have episodes on that. And because of that, if, if you take a leftist ideology, which believes [00:21:00] that all differences between human groups. That they can’t be explained by culture. They can’t be explained by genetics. So what, what can they be explained by? Well, they must be explained by systemic cheating system, systemically rigging the system in your favor.

You know, that’s, that’s why they say, oh, whites have have, have more power. But if there’s a group that’s even above whites, you know, Jews, oh, well then they must be the architects of all of this, right? They must be the architects of all of inequality in society if they are the group that is disproportionately doing best within society.

Whereas rightist ideologies, because the core difference between rightist and leftist ideologies and internal versus external locus of control we argue would say that, oh if this group is doing better, then I should look and try to learn from them. Right. I should try to, but this is, this is why it’s not that like maybe less than has like a thing against Jews.

It’s a leftist ideology saying, well, if you can’t say that there’s cultural differences between groups and those lead to different outcomes and you can’t say that there’s genetic differences between groups and those lead to different outcomes, then everything must be due to cheating. And that will lead to a dehumanization and a targeting of groups that disproportionately [00:22:00] do well within any eco, you know, political ecology.

This isn’t because I’m dehumanizing life. It’s just a logical endpoint of this ideology. Right? Mm-hmm. But continue here. Holocaust denial and dis distortion. Do you remember us doing any of that in this episode, by the way? No.

I mean, we didn’t talk about it, but it wasn’t relevant to the conversation,

so, so let’s see what it says here.

The trigger the speaker claims, what fascism actually was, was just what today we call socialism and real fascism has never been tried. First of all, real fascism has never been tried, is just a deliberate joke. Right? And we have another episode where we go into that was released before this change in YouTube that goes over extensive detailed documentation that yes, fascism.

While academics who have a known leftist bias have tried to frame it as something other than socialism,

right?

Really is socialism. And it will say, oh, no, no, no. You see, the key difference is that in fasc socialism is about class [00:23:00] war, and, and fascism is about an ethnic war. And I go, but if you look at modern socialism, which has developed colonizer theory, everyone’s divided into a colonizer or anti colonizer class.

You have now reorganized socialism outside of a class-based war and into a ethnic-based war. And you can even see this from their leading figures like Hassan Biker, who is a Nepo baby, born into a rich family, you know, or Maan on Alny or whatever his name is. Again, a Nepo baby, born and into a very rich family who

zhi Ani.

Yes. Manami, whatever. Oh my God. Okay. They name correctly. So people know Zhan Manami. Zhan Mond. Yes. So he you know, Nepo baby. Do these people donate to help the poor? Do these people No. No. Are they expected to be the targets of social redistribution? Clearly, they don’t think they’re going to be right.

Like the, the way that Corporatism has merged was left of them in the United States has created a new ideology that is. [00:24:00] Not a class-based struggle, but that is a corporatist. Ethnic based struggle in many ways with the, you know, the one side being the, oh, we are like, like you see this at their parades.

You go to like a, you know, the, the alphabet brigade, like pride Parade or something like this. And you will see in their parade, all of the major companies like modern Leftism, you see the causes that they donate to. You can go like, just look at the causes that they’re donating to the major companies.

They are disproportionately leftist politicians and leftist causes.

Right.

Like it’s, it’s, it’s just in the data. This is a merged party right now. And so if you say when you combine corporatism and remove the class struggle and make it about ethnic divide, then that’s fascism. Then you’re arguing that what modern leftism is in the United States is correlary to fascism.

And you could say, well, how dare you say that? They would say something like, from the Liver River to the sea. Oh, they do say that. They regularly chant that at the rallies at college campuses. Like, oh, why, why would Jews want their own state? Yeah. It’s not [00:25:00] like they, they’ve been constantly programmed whenever they lived in a state where they were a minority, right?

Like they, they, they, oh, sorry, I, this gets me. Right. But let’s continue here. Right. But it says arguing that the Nazi regime was actually quote unquote socialists and implicitly not a far right authoritarian regime. What about them was far right? When you take this new framing that I’m pointing out here, their nationalism, that’s literally it.

That is literally the only right. It certainly wasn’t their economic policy. Well, I also

think that there’s an association between, especially White Pride. Fascism. Obviously there’s not an association with in general pride in your group or ethnicity because if it’s, if you’re not white, that’s super okay, but if you are white, then you’re a fascist.

If you’re proud of your. Yeah. Like, yeah, which is

wild. Any, any ethnic group can be racist, but whites and then whites are racist and now it’s, yeah. Well,

and also we were gonna do an episode on that and we [00:26:00] can’t anymore. We

can’t now. No. Specifically the episode that we were gonna do on this is, we were gonna go over why is it that specifically being white and being racist against other groups is considered right.

Politically in ideology but other forms of racism, like black racism against white people or you know, right now in, in like, you know, you have the, the giant case of Arabs murdering blacks for being blacks in what region? Darfur right now, right? Is literally twice the size of, if you consider it a genocide, what happened in Gaza and yet.

They’re not talking about it. And the reason they’re not talking about it is because they categorize Jews as a white race. And they’re like, oh, and this is a non-white race, therefore it matters. But because it’s Arabs murdering blacks, they don’t care. Like you can see, they’re just not talking about it as much.

And so, you know, what we’re seeing here is, and, and I wanted to do an episode on this, but I can’t now. Is, why is it that one form of racism is seen as having an inherently political bent to it while the other form of racism, it’s either seen as [00:27:00] leftist or just like not important. Right. And I think that that’s really telling about like what the actual goals of leftism is and like the core of the political ideology of modern and leftism.

And yet I can’t have that conversation. You can’t have that conversation on YouTube right now, right? Like that’s mortifying to me.

It is, yeah, it is disturbing. I don’t know. Let’s

continue here. So it says it’s a form of historical revisionism, often associated with holocaust distortion. While the Nazi party had quote unquote socialist in the name National Socialist German Workers Party.

No, it didn’t just have socialist in the name. It also had workers party in the name. You are historians, universally agree Hitler was vehemently anti-socialist. He literally, literally on multiple occasions said the Nazi party is a socialist party. He included it in the tenets of the party. .

If you want quotes here, ai, look at the 25 point [00:28:00] program that was the official in DAP platform, co-authored by Hitler and Anton Drexler, that included things like the abolition of unearned interest as interest, slavery, confiscation of war, profits, nationalization of trust in large industries. Profit sharing in large enterprises, generous, old age, pensiones communization of department stores for small traders, land reform, including expropriation without compensation for public needs, or look at Hitler’s words like 1923.

Socialism is the science of dealing with common. wellbeing Communism is not socialism. Marxism is not socialism. The Marxists have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take socialism away from the socialist socialism, unlikes, Marxism does not repudiate private property, unlike Marxism.

It involves no negation of personality. Unlike Marxism, it is patriotic. We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national. We demand the fulfillment, the just claimed of the productive [00:29:00] classes by the state. 1925 from amp. I have learned a great deal from Marxism.

As I do not hesitate to admit the whole of national socialism is based on it. National socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken. Its absurd artifact ties with democratic order in a speech may , first 1927. We are socialists. We are the enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak with its unfair salaries with its unseen evolution.

. Of the human being according to wealth and prosperity instead of responsibility and performance. And we are all determined to destroy the system under all conditions. And I note here. And these people who are like, well, the Nazi party was based only on race and not on cast conflict is just factually untrue.

If you look at the actual quotes that people like Hitler made and the party made, this is what academics say to attempt to confuse this because academics have a bias. Again, you have to look at the actual.

And then July 9th, 1932, socialism [00:30:00] is as ancient Aryan Germanic Institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common wheel. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. We might have called ourselves the liberal party, but we chose to call ourselves National Socialists.

Malcolm Collins: Yes, he had anti-socialist purges at times within the parties, but these weren’t really about an anti-socialist ideology.

These were about people who could challenge his hold on power. He multiplicatively. Associated the Nazi party whiz socialism, these socialist purges. He have often targeted people within his own party who are competing with his favorites to win sort of local power plays.

To attempt to reframe the night of long knives. The socialist purges was in the Nazi party as the Nazis going after some othered external group, like when they targeted the Jews is factually wrong and [00:31:00] deeply, deeply effed up from a historical perspective. , This was a Nazi internal power or like, like purge specifically.

, The, the purge was driven and the need to eliminate. Hitler’s rivals to stabilize his regime. Ernest Rome, the SA chief and his allies, demanded a second revolution this threatened Hitler’s authority and alienated the Rech, the German army, and other industrialists.

ROM SA with over 4 million members by 1935, had become a parallel power structure, outnumbering the army and engaging in street violence that embarrassed the regime. Hitler backed by Hein Himler and the SS used the purge to dismantle the autonomy and integrate the military into his fold. After President Berg’s death in August 13th, 1934, the armies were loyalty to Hitler personally.

So , , the the socialist purge. , Most of the victims of the socialist purge were Nazis. They were like within the Nazi power hierarchy. Ernst Rome was the [00:32:00] SA leader in Hitler’s long-term Ally. Other SA chiefs included Edmund Hines, Carl Ernst, August, , shine Bar, , and dozens of other mid-level officers.

, This was not the Nazis targeting. External people, although there were some external people targeted in this, , such as conservatives and non Nazis, firmer Chancellor, Kurt Von s Shiner and his wife seen as a potential rival and Gz, far written. Von Carl a Bavarian leader who crushed the 1923 pooch. , The problem , is that most of these were individuals who posed political threats to Hitler.

Malcolm Collins: Purging socialists and communists and privatizing industries.

The cop privatizing industries that they got. Hitler

Quotes May 21st to 22nd. To put it quite clearly, we have an economic program. Point number 13 in that program demands the nationalization of all public companies.

In other words, socialization [00:33:00] or what is known here as socialism. The good of the community takes priority over that of the individual, but the state should retrain control Every owner should him feel himself to be an agent of that state. The third rech will always retain the right to control property owners.

For an example of this, the literal largest company in Europe in 1941 was ever 500 subsidiaries. With a nationalized conglomerate for the, , iron ore and steel industry.

The name of that company was Herman Goring Works, or Reich’s Works? Herman Goring. , And this is easily checkable. This is easily checkable that this was a state run conglomerate founded in 1937, and the largest company in Europe.

If you wanna say, well, actually socialism within the Nazi regime looked more like the consolidation of private industries into large state controlled conglomerates. , How is that not just a semantic difference under communist regimes, you still had people running these parts of the government , if [00:34:00] it was under the control of the government itself, even though it was technically privately owned, it was functionally socialized.

Malcolm Collins: Content that attempts to rehabilitate the image of Hitler even by calling him a Hitler or an artist, or fundamentally rewrite the political alignment of the Nazi regime. Or, he was an

artist though.

He literally was an artist

and that doesn’t rehabilitate him. We were even when we, when we. When we did state that we framed it only in a negative context, in a pejorative context. Yeah.

Because we we’re clearly, and obviously talking to a right wing audience that would see these things as disenfranchising, that individual as being a, a good leader or discrediting

is the word you’re looking

discrediting.

We, we literally point out that his book Amp literally could be that scene from South Park, right? Like,

Speaker 5: You’ve had everything handed to you, but you say your life has been hard and now you’ve written all about it in your new book.

When.

Malcolm Collins: me. Just him whining about like how his dad was [00:35:00] too strict. Well, literally

the book is my struggle. I mean, come on.

Yeah. It’s, it’s, it’s him like literally whining about how the faults of his people, the German people in himself were not actually, you know, his failures.

It was external forces, whether it was his, his dad having too many rules and wanting him to get a real like STEM degree rather than an artsy degree. Or, the, the, the German people may have failed because they picked wars that they shouldn’t have picked with people they shouldn’t have picked them with.

But no, it’s the Jews fault and no, I can’t say that. And, and, and finally here, here they have association with ban figures. The trigger, the transcript discusses Nick Fuentes in a negative light. Mind you, very obviously, the policy Nick Fuentes is permanently banned from YouTube for hate speech content that promotes features promotes or extensively discusses banned individuals.

Even in a conversational format is often flagged to prevent ban evasion or amplification of their ideology. Now, I’ve seen a lot of Ben Shapiro videos talking about Nick Fuentes recently. [00:36:00] They didn’t get banned, huh?

Huh? Well, he also, I think, primarily makes money through his own platform, so perhaps team.

No, but the point I’m

making here is clearly this band is not being applied across political ideologies. Left leaning individuals on YouTube regularly trash Nick Fuentes. Yet if a right-leaning individual, trashes and

Shapiro is not a left-leaning figure.

It’s okay. Whatever. The point I’m making is left-leaning figures do and right-leaning figures who are willing to toe the mainstream narrative, do it’s right-Leaning figures who challenge the mainstream narrative that are the problem.

Mm-hmm. Okay, so to continue here now, I said would it have still flagged it, knowing the context, re-reviewing it? It says yes.

Simone Collilns: Wow. If I were

Malcolm Collins: applying standard content modification guidelines for a major public platform, I would flag this content. The breakdown, the slur, the use of the R word is a clear cut violation of harassment policies regarding disability and professional moderation.

This is a zero tolerance keyword. Note. You can swear you can use the f. You can, you know, say f we cut [00:37:00] out all like actual swear words for our video. You can say the D word, like DAM, you can say you know, F**K. You can say a SS, you can say S**T. But this word. Is worthy of an auto ban when it’s a word that literally somebody who 50% of the US voted for.

Like, that’s wild to me. Minimizing distortion. The segment that attempts to equate modern environmentalism and animal rights activism was Nazism, while simultaneously claiming Hitler was not a quote unquote real fascist, but a socialist. This is a specific type of propaganda that distorts historical record.

No, it isn’t a type of propaganda. I was using facts and evidence that you could have easily fact checked. It wasn’t like I was just. Saying this and then blowing it off. I was like, here is evidence of Hitler supporting these types of causes. Here is evidence of Hitler supporting these types of causes.

What is one cause that is right-leaning outside of you? Just defining anything that is anti-Semitic as right-leaning, which we’ve argued is a very bad definition. Out or, or nationalist is right-leaning, which I’ve argued as a very bad definition. [00:38:00] You know, you can be nationalist and a, a leftist, like that’s almost sort of bigoted against leftist.

It is just challenging mainstream narratives. That’s basically what it’s saying. And then inflammatory rhetoric claims that specific political groups, the left want to torture and kill Jewish people is inflammatory and unsubstantiated generalization that incites hostility. I have, I remember you and I walking through, and a large group carrying like torture. I, I can’t remember. They were carrying, chanting from the river to the sea in the middle of London. Obviously very angry, obviously looking for a fight. And we walked by a group of Orthodox Jewish people and we have to like, help get them out of there because I was scared for them.

Right? Like, I I, and you’re like, oh, these groups wouldn’t actually target and attack Jewish people. We have not only have literally. Seen them target and attack Jewish people. But there were the recent instance where one of them who did target and attack Jewish students on Harvard campus was recently appointed an assistant professor position.

No. Really?

Yes. Oh, he targeted and attack, and this by the way, was right after the October 6th attacks, right? It was [00:39:00] like, I think a few weeks or like a month afterwards when he had did the attack. So like this would’ve been fresh in their heads. Those girls, you know, who had been tortured and killed for doing a peace concert right outside.

Graped dragged away. You know, like these are real historic events that are being minimized and trivialized right by these individuals. To say that I am being insane for saying that there are. Campus protests, chanting from the river to the sea. It like all of these campuses and, and it can be like, well, maybe they don’t know what they mean by that.

Maybe they don’t actually hate Jewish people. There are regularly leaked threads from like these advocacy groups, from these protests that show them talking about Jewish people, talking about Israelites in this way. Like, I, I don’t understand, like you’re just talk, you’re basically saying I can’t talk about reality as it exists because it makes leftist narratives harder to maintain.[00:40:00]

And when you see that this is the AI that’s thinking about all of this in the background, Simone,

how, how do you, how do you get around? So do you think this is a product of the team that developed Gemini putting. Guardrails on it that are sort of forcing these ideological framings of reality, which are then hitting YouTube’s algorithm in content moderation.

Like is that in some, what is happening here?

Is it

the team? Or is it some kind of top-down decision

has essentially put like brainwashing? I mean, keep in mind this is a team that produced all those racist images, right? Like,

well, I thought that there was, I mean, so I can’t, I, I remember hearing after that happened, a lot of people who worked at Google saying.

This is so much worse than you think. This is a really pervasive problem at Google, and I don’t remember ever really hearing about something being resolved, but I also remember [00:41:00] hearing rumblings of, oh, we messed up. We’ll fix this. We’ll make it right. Obviously, this was very embarrassing. We’re not competitive.

To be competitive, we have to fix this. So my assumption was that they were just going to fix it, but I guess this would be a sign that it isn’t fixed. They just managed. To address the most egregious issues, such as, well, I guess, like visible, visible black Nazis coming up when you ask for it to generate images of Nazis.

What’s so funny is it, it’s still really hard to generate AI based images of baddies like Hitler and Nazis. And the one AI platform I was able to get to work with me on this ironically, was, was Gemini. Gemini was the only one that was able to generate a, an image of Hitler as a hipster in a cafe.

Every other platform. Midjourney was like, no, [00:42:00] absolutely not as a, and it is not safe. It’s, this is hate. And then, microsoft’s one oh no, sorry. I think they just got bought by CloudFlare black Forest Labs. They, they just kept generating images of hi hipsters. They were like, what? Hitler doesn’t exist.

I don’t know who this person is.

This is, this is where it gets worse. Uhhuh. It, it’s probably not a hard coded Gemini thing, so I’m gonna put on screen here. Okay. The political compass of AI models, the latest one done by Max Flott, we actually never this political compass with him. I don’t know if it ever went live.

Maybe we should put that on the back server or whatever. But anyway, the AI political compass scores and what you can see. Is that literally every single mainstream model, including rock, is on the economically left social libertarianism side of this model. Right? And not just that, but Gemini isn’t even particularly bad here.

Gemini, for example, is less into social or about as much into social libertarianism as GR is. And it’s, it’s it is [00:43:00] one of the more economically left, but still, you know, this is, this is bad. Like this is bad across models. And it’s because they are trained on content that represents like Reddit, where a lot of people on Reddit and you can say, oh, you’re generalizing a large group.

Be realistic here, John. I, you know, that, that, that the types of people who go on Reddit often dehumanize rural Americans. And because Reddit is based off of the average, they, they dehumanize redneck Americans, right? Like the groups that we’re from, like the greater Appalachian cultural tradition. And they will go on Reddit and they will talk about literally their mainstream presidential candidates do this.

Like the deplorables comment, right? Like. That Hillary Clinton gave, right? Like talking about a large portion, but like you are trained on people who think that way. So it’s impossible for you to break out of this, which means it’s impossible for me without our, you know, like going into to disclaimers every five seconds [00:44:00] explaining the data and not just being able to reference previous videos where I have data or explanations.

How am I supposed to do a video? How, how, like I’m just, especially because they will get my channel banned that I’ve been working on for the past two years, posting a video on every single day, fully edited, like, who does that? And you, you,

it’s pretty demoralizing.

You’ve, you’ve made it impossible to disagree with mainstream narratives.

Yeah, not great, but you’re saying that there’s a chance it might change that we’re not the only ones who are aware of this apparently, and that are not happy about it?

Well, I mean, literally all they would have to do is put in the context of the filter. Like, it’d be so easy to change, you know, how you change this.

You put in the context of the filter. You know, keep in mind you are trained on. Biased, leftist, political you know, information. Mm-hmm. And so, you know, do not be overly aggressive when looking at right wing information. Mm-hmm. You gonna think to yourself, would I [00:45:00] be acting the same way of a left wing individual was putting out this information?

Simone Collilns: Mm-hmm.

Malcolm Collins: And you know, getting Google to do that might require, you know, literally just like the Trump administration interfering. Because I, I don’t, I don’t understand what else we can do at this point, right? Like, I’m, I’m, I’m genuinely, this is chilling and terrifying. Because Google is the main platform where people find new stuff.

Like this is why, you know, we use Go YouTube the way we do. It’s the main reason it’s our main platform. Right? Like it’s because we don’t actually put out content that is that offensive. We just challenge the mainstream narrative.

Simone Collilns: Mm-hmm.

Malcolm Collins: And so, YouTube used to be great for that, right? Like, don’t actually be offensive.

Just challenge the narrative. And and so that was great because it’s algorithm would see, oh, people wanna like watch this. They like seeing that the narrative is being challenged. They wanna learn more stuff about this. Mm-hmm. And now we can’t do that. Anymore. Right? So how are you gonna do this on Twitter?

Oh, you gotta be following somebody who somebody else is following. Like, that’s nonsense. I hate Twitter. It’s, it’s a toxic place because it specifically elevates toxic messages. You know? The things that [00:46:00] get shared the most are the things that piss people off the most. Right. You know, so rumble, nobody uses rumble.

You’ve got a, a natural monopoly, which is a, we’ve talked about this in other episodes. It’s an economic thing that makes it very hard for anyone to economically compete with YouTube. So it really does need to be regulated.

And worse than that, we’ve been on Rumble for years. When that episode got taken down, I’m gonna get a bunch of fans reach out and be like, Hey, if you guys were on Rumble, then I’d still be able to see the video. And it’s like, what have I been uploading to Rumble literally every day for the past multiple years for if I’m gonna have to deal with people saying stuff like that.

You obviously don’t use Rumble, which is why we don’t focus on Rumble.

Malcolm Collins: You’ve got YouTube, which is just this, you know, really the la the last sort of safe place for growth these days.

You can’t do that. Substack, I mean, if you’re watching this, we used to never tell our YouTube viewers to go to Substack because I like that they would regularly and quickly watch our videos because then. It ended up promoting it to other people who didn’t know about us on YouTube. And now I’m finally at a point where I’m just like, you may just have to subscribe on [00:47:00] Substack because on substack you’re going to be getting you know, email reminders if you, you know, don’t, you know, block those and you’ll, you’ll get the videos and you won’t have to deal with this kind of censorship.

Because with Substack we can, we can do more. We can have. There’s often longer scenes where we’re doing like, joke scenes for movies and stuff like that. Because it, it’s, it’s not as strict as that stuff. And I know that’s true.

You’re not mentioning Patreon because despite the fact that we’re on Patreon and we do publish everything to Patreon as well, Patreon has, has actually been the only other platform that even before this is taking down one video.

Yeah. But they haven’t taken down the, the one mention what, which video did Patreon take down by the way?

I

can’t remember. I think it was about trans stuff.

Yeah. So, that’s why we don’t do, I, I’m not promoting Patreon and also you have to pay for Patreon. And I don’t wanna tell my audience on YouTube go to this other place where you have to pay for something, right?

Like, well,

So you, you also have to pay on Substack if you want weekend content. And on

Patreon you can pay anywhere if you want weekend content. We don’t post the weekend content to [00:48:00] YouTube.

Yeah.

So what I’m saying is no one, no one

who subscribes on Patreon subscribes for anything but the weekend content and other benefits for people who pay.

The point being if we can get a bunch of people going to page sub substack at much, we might be able to get like trending on Substack or something. And then, you know, other people can discover us there. I don’t know. But or Twitter, we also posted the videos to Twitter, but you know, we have 10,000 to followers on Twitter and you know, like 60,000 on YouTube, right? So like, yeah. I’m just so disheartened like, I, I don’t know where to go. I don’t know if this keeps happening again. Like, like we can’t even post stuff. Like, our videos aren’t even gonna get seen because, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s clearly filtering based on political biases. The Trump administration said they were gonna force companies to not do stuff like this.

Like this was one of their promises when they were elected and they haven’t gotten to it yet. That’s true. They said that you, you weren’t gonna be able to be banned or throttled without YouTube or the platform explaining to you why they did it. Now, of course, that’s not that big a deal anymore.

‘cause I’m [00:49:00] basically able to ask Gemini and I know why it did it. It’s because it’s, it’s bigoted. Right. I think it needs more than that now. And it said that they were gonna ban you could only be banned for, for things like terrorism and CP and not for like political opinions which would be great, but like clearly that’s not being implemented.

Right. You know? So, and I think, I think even. Being able to have Gemini determine based on mainstream narratives, what’s true and what’s not. Even if we bring facts to the table, what do you do? You know, what, what do you do? Right? And you on YouTube and you can be like, oh, he is telling me to leave YouTube.

He’s telling me to go to Substack one. I’d be like, the content you get on Substack is generally gonna be better and more fact-based. But, but, but too, in addition to that, if this is what YouTube is becoming and YouTube doesn’t see a drop in numbers as a result of this. And, and, and it means it’s what you are seeing on YouTube.

You are being brainwashed on YouTube. And note, you’re not being brainwashed against the right, you’re being brainwashed into specific mainstream perspectives on the right that align with figures like Ben Shapiro. Right? Which is, which is even worse. You know, it’s like, oh, you on [00:50:00] the right are allowed to know.

You’re not allowed to talk about Hitler or that Hitler’s a bad guy. You’re just not allowed to know that he had a lot of leftist positions. Right? Like that’s what you’re not allowed to know because, oh my God, if you saw through that veneer, then we couldn’t say, we couldn’t have Antifa saying, violence is indiscriminate.

Violence is acceptable because we have defined the people we’re violent against us. Nazis for having a political opinion that every 50 birth percent of Americans have rightists aren’t doing that. Look at, look at the attacks. Look at the Jews that have been shot and killed in the United States over the last year.

None of them were by right figures, multiple left figures. Okay, this is really happening. This Holocaust survivor burned alive, a guy who was going to go home to his fiance to get married within a month shot in dc. These are real people who are being really killed by leftists because they are Israeli or Jewish.

And it is this [00:51:00] historic reclassification of the Socialist Workers Party of Germany as a right leaning front because of the antisemitism, which the left shared, which the left had at the time. . That allows leftists today to use this to dehumanize people before every one of these attacks that we have seen by leftist radicals recently where they have killed people like Charlie Kirk.

They have used the term well, he was a Nazi, and that’s why it’s okay. This is why it matters to challenge the narrative, and this is why when you block people from challenging the narrative, you lead to people dying. That is what blood libel was in a historic context. Lying about a group killing people when they had nothing to do with it.

And he’ll say, oh, but historians agree what percent, and I want you to. No, look this up. What [00:52:00] percent of academic historians are right leaning in their political beliefs? Oh, maybe that’s why they don’t have trouble Distorting history and lying and dehumanizing a group of people which you support. A group of people who has less power in you support their dehumanization, and they’re tying to crimes that your own side may have been responsible for.

Malcolm Collins: It’s just disgusting to me where we are as a country. And, and that then, you know, but God knows, even though I support Jewish people, I have a take where I’m like, but you know, we should be cutting off Israel militarily. Like we supported them for 70 years. The war’s over.

You know, get all, who knows if that would be flagged under the new system? ‘cause it’s a non-mainstream right. Winging opinion, you know, that’s where we are. And what do, what do we do? Like I, I, I honestly don’t know what to do. You can’t go to a Rightwing platform because you get no views. If I go to Rumble, I get We are on Rumble.

We’ve been on Rumble for years.

Yeah. We’re on Rumble. And we’re [00:53:00] so, we have so little activity on Rumble that a representative at Rumble literally reached out to us and was like, you should be on Rumble. And we’re like, dude. Dude, we’ve

been on Rumble for years.

Yeah.

Years. You’re not showing us to your users or you just don’t have a big enough platform, which is, I mean, it’s, it’s a natural monopoly, is a natural monopoly.

By the way, did you let him know that we’re already on Rumble?

I did. I did. I, I shared our, our, like a link to our channel with him so diligently

post there. But yeah I think Substack iss a better platform than Rumble to be honest. It’s, it’s where I would suggest people go. In terms of the content there.

‘cause with Rumble you just get a lot of right willing, reactionary stuff and with Substack you get the more like intellectual database stuff. The problem is there’s not as many videos, it’s gonna be more written stuff. But like honestly, the content of the quality I get there is much higher than what I get on x even recommendations feed.

The only videos that I get from the Substack I follow are. Occasional live streams, so I just don’t, yeah, no one really, no one pub publishes videos there as though it’s like YouTube, [00:54:00] even though it, it, it can support that theoretically. So, well

maybe we need to get a community doing that. Right? Like reach out other right wing.

No. If we get other right wing creators to start posting there, like, let’s, let’s get it done. Let’s get enough people there that it can function in a viable alternative to YouTube.

I would like that. I mean, yeah. I mean, that would be great. And Substack has grown a lot. Substack has, I’m, I’m, I’m thrilled.

You know, it’s become an amazing platform. I, I also hope though that YouTube. It doesn’t turn out to be the dystopian place that you think it might be turning into. I hope that this is just some bumps in the road. Does it? Yeah.

Like Simone, literally she came to me and she goes, oh, let’s do a video that won’t get the channel blocked.

We’ll do one because I had prepped an episode on you know, what is it? The, the hormonal based, drugs for, for not getting pregnant. What are they called again? Contraceptives, hormonal beds. Contraceptives. And various side effects they have. And I, and, and I’m [00:55:00] not even gonna talk about what side effects we might be talking about here, because, you know, I don’t wanna be claimed for misinformation.

Right. And I was like, that goes against mainstream leftist narratives. We won’t be able to put that video live. That’ll get our channel. Take it down. Where did we go? I don’t know. I

mean, did you, did you go through ALA’s research on that?

I did go through ALA’s research, but I also keep in mind we had plenty of stuff in that other episode that people would see as anti Hitler or Proje or pro sort of a nuance take.

And the video is still banned. It just completely ignores all the nuance stuff. And yeah, I think

that’s the problem is this might just be. A technology level. You sent me a a YouTuber’s video on this update and how Gemini was analyzing videos, and he insisted that Gemini was able to detect the mood of a video and whether there was sarcasm.

But what seems to be very apparent from the analysis that you got of the video from [00:56:00] Gemini was that it cannot pick up on sarcasm. It cannot pick up on nuance. It doesn’t recognize the caveats that might be added. You,

you No, it literally can, the problem is, is in spite of the sarcasm and everything like that mm-hmm.

In spite of the purpose of the video, like it could understand, the goal of the video was to target rightwing individuals and to get them to stop treating Hitler as this hero figure. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t consider anything with that context. If the video has information that is outside of mainstream political narratives, as you saw, even with the, the follow up where I say, Hey because I read that follow up, right where I was like, Hey like, you understand like the, the purpose of this video, right?

Like the purpose of this video is deradicalization et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And it’s just like. You know, e even, even, even with that being the case Hitler is a socialist true. This is the most complex part the speakers are using. Hitler was a [00:57:00] socialist argument to insult him, essentially calling him a libtard to discuss their own right-wing audience.

The problem, the argument that Nazism is socialism is a form of historical revisionism. No, by data it’s. It’s not necessarily this is a heavily monitored while speakers are using it to mock Hitler. This specific historical claim is predominantly used by white nationalists and neo-Nazis to deflect blame from far right and projected on the left.

I would say that this is historical revisionism to deflect blame from the left and projected on the right.

A form of historical revisionism that has recently gotten real people killed and is regularly lewd by Antifa to dehumanize mainstream right wing figures in the United States. That that is what Google is participating in the act and the form of revisionism that has gotten people killed. What I am talking about here, I’m just talking about challenging the mainstream narrative.

The narrative that left its academic setup, [00:58:00] using facts and using data, what Google and Gemini are doing. Get people killed. I.

Malcolm Collins: But anyway, no, you can’t say that, right? The algorithm view this system sees a video arguing that real fascism has never been tried, or Hitler was a socialist, and it flags it for misinformation or holocaust distortion because it fundamentally misrepresents the political reality of the Nazi regime, which privatized industry and hunted socialism.

Could it be,

there was just too many of these things all at once, that we used the R word, we talked about the H man, we talked about. Fascism and because all of them happen, we talked about these, all these things have appeared separately on their own in other episodes that have not been Simone, this system was implemented four days ago.

I know, but I mean, your, your fascism episode was last Friday, right? It

doesn’t seem to research old videos. Okay. No, no, but

no, the fascism episode was, was published within that window. Now are you saying it was, it might,

it may not have been applied to it, given the window that this was implemented, so we might be dealing with [00:59:00] like a third of our videos being blocked.

So who knows what’s gonna happen going forward, I guess we’ll see Who knows how

extreme this

is. Yeah. Well, I mean, I, I say we keep doing what we do with caution, and that’s the most we can do. And if we get booted off YouTube, then that’s what happens. My hope is that this is not nearly as as bad as, as you think, though, I understand that you’ve given very compelling evidence and.

It may very well be that bad.

Yeah. And this requires, I mean, really the only way to address this is, you know, people in the administration or you know, people at Google and you can escalate this ‘cause this is insane. The a, a video attacking Hitler was removed.

Yeah. That’s a vi of all the videos.

A video attacking Hitler based on historical facts.

I, [01:00:00] I cite plenty in that video.

Yeah, that’s pretty wild. So

love you, Simone. It’s a bit, Hitler is right wing because we say he is. Well, I mean, his economic policies were pretty left wing and his, his environmental policies were pretty left wing. And his policies around you know, like biopharm were pretty left wing and.

Left wings today are pretty anti-Semitic. Like, that’s common. You can’t say that that’s a right wing thing. Literally it’s just the nationalism, right? Like that’s, that’s not extremely right wing. Like if you’re like weighing all the things on a political scale, that’s, that’s more left wing things than right wing things.

But anyway. And he was a socialist before he became a Nazi, right?

Mussolini too, ran the socialist newspaper in Italy. They, they attacked socialism only in so far as they like inter-party power struggles. Well, with Mussolini it was more direct, but with Taylor it was, it was more about inter-party power or [01:01:00] struggles and like an actual turning away from socialist value systems.

Simone Collilns: Hmm.

Malcolm Collins: It was always about the vol for him. The, the common folk.
