care of that. Sydney Sweeney, wow, this
is really telling. And I want to cover
this because there's some things here I
think people aren't thinking about and
why this is important that this ad came
out the way that it did. It might seem
trivial. To some degree it is, but in
some degrees it's uh it's a lot more
profound than than we might at first
think. Uh this episode is brought to you
by the Wavemakers podcaster cruise. This

Sweeney. Why is this important? Look,
there's there's so many things at play
here. The ridiculous online statements
that we've seen about white supremacy or
about Nazi propaganda. eugenics
uh is ridiculous. I mean, it's so
far-fetched, but we have been
indoctrinated to such a degree in the
last 5 to 10 years on the religion of
academia. And the idea from that is to
break down truth, get to that in a
minute, and anything that might be of an
ideal. And there's one ideal here that
is crucial that I want to get to. Let's
look at some of the accusations. This is
a white girl. Okay. Oh, uh-oh. Look out.
This is a white girl. She's blonde. She
has blue eyes.
And therefore, this is about eugenics.
This is about white supremacy. This is
Nazi propaganda. How preposterous can
this possibly be?
It it's it's so bizarre that we would go
stretch ourselves this far. But then
again, this is the culture that we live
in. This is a postmodern culture that we
live in. And this is what has happened.
And that is why there is such a push
back. This is not about white supremacy
or anything else like that. This is
about postmodernism.
This is about the shift in our culture
toward the philosophy of postmodernism.
a very big part of the religion of
academia. And one of the accusations
that's important to see here is the
accusation of skinny, right? What does
that have to do with race? What does
that have to do with eugenics?
Right? It's this is this is part of the
breakdown of what I would say is number
one, beauty,
right? We've done this. And Greg, I'm
gonna get in trouble for this. I know
I'm going to get in trouble for this,
but you know, the celebration of
obese individuals in advertising,
especially with something like fashion
or even uh
workout clothes, right? Gym clothes, um
is concerning. It's ridiculous. But what
why do we have that? Why is that going
on? What what does that mean to have
inclusion
of of others that may not look ideal?
Well, first of all, some may say, well,
that's important that we represent
others and not just people that have,
you know, great bodies or or are
beautiful or whatever it might be. And I
fully agree with that. I think that's
right. Look, I'm coming from the 80s
when I grew up and became a man and uh
you know that was like skinny mania in
the 80s. It was preposterous. I mean
every this that's when it really really
started sinking in was uh about being
really skinny and you had girls that
were anorexic and in my high school and
you know there were some issues there.
It was pushed way too far. Um, and I
wouldn't even say it's ideal, right? But
now we've gone kind of to the opposite
end of the spectrum where we celebrate
people that are not healthy.
People that are not healthy.
This is not an ideal. And yet this is
part of the idea of inclusion.
Include everything. Forget that there's
an ideal. Forget that we want to worry
about health. We need inclusion which is
throw everything in.
And that's where we are now on the
spectrum. Right? So going back to Sydney
Sweeney
who is a beautiful girl and because
she's white and blonde and blueeyed all
of a sudden now this idea of inclusion
is being pushed off regardless of the
fact that they've had many many other
ads
a lot of ads. American Eagle I'm talking
about of people of different race and
different body sizes and different
colored eyes. But man, this one right
here, all of a sudden, you can't do it.
And look at what that means. So, you're
not allowed to have real diversity.
You're really not allowed to have
diversity,
right? As long as it is a white, blonde,
blue-eyed girl, that is not allowed.
And it's all of a sudden Nazi
propaganda. That's a sure sign that
you're dealing with something here, a
gist, right?
A zeitgeist, a a view of the world that
is corrupted.
But the other things that are broken
down besides that are
truth overall and and this one's really
important is the binary.
See, this snaps you back into place into
the binary. Sydney Sweeney Hazburg
Canes.
I think that you're, you know, where
you've got an attractive woman,
then you are now looking at something
that is affecting the binary. Now, I
understand that it's sex cells and all
this other stuff, and I'll get to that
in a minute, but you're snapping it back
into a place where where the binary is
in place. And for those that don't like
that, for those that have a pride uh uh
advocacy, right, to break down that
binary, um they're going to have a real
issue with this. And that's been the
idea with these other advertisements up
until now that we've seen where where,
you know, look at Jaguar.
What happened there?
Complete non-binary. That was the whole
focus of that ad, the rebranding of
Jaguar. We're going to do it as
non-binary. Jaguar is non non-binary.
And you had a lot lot of non-binary
actors in there in their advertisements.
Or what about Bud Light?
This month I celebrated my day 365 of
womanhood and Bud Light sent me possibly
the best gift ever, a can with my face
on it.
What a slap in the face to men, which is
really who you're advertising to.
and where you've got a transw woman
as your spokesperson for Bud Light.
It's it's again it's a breakdown of the
binary and putting in this ad that
American Eagle did with Sydney Sweeney
is is a as a snap back to the binary.
Postmodernism wants to say there is no
real truth. Right? And that's that goes
right along with the idea whenever you
hear about inclusivity. It's there's no
standard and there is no ideal and
there's no truth. And so that's what the
inclusivity and the diversity often
times is is focused on is to break down
those ideals, break down those orders,
and break down that truth. A good
example of that is going back to the
binary again when you had Brook Shields
back in the 80s, you know, the the
famous or infamous, depending on how you
look at it, um ad with Calvin Klein
jeans
that where she said, "Nothing comes
between me and my jeans." Right? And so
you go from there to one that was just
out recently last year with Calvin Klein
where you have a man in basically a bra
and another woman and both are obese
and it's it's it's just the the
strangest thing. And then you have, you
know, another one where there's an
extremely obese woman and the slogan is
I speak my truth in my Calvin, right? In
other words, the branding of the Calvin
genes is postmodernism.
It's my truth. There are many truths.
This is my truth. And yes, I'm obese and
I can so but but this is my truth. It's
exactly what it's saying because it's
only the image of the woman and the
slogan. So, we go kind of from the the
media world going all the way back to
things like back to Leave it to Beaver,
right? And then you move up into the
sexualized 70s and 80s,
uh, where you're using sex to sell
everything. And then you go beyond that,
right? You corrupt things more, you
loosen things more, and you break down
the binary. You break down family, you
break down truth, you break down beauty.
And that's where we've been the last
several years. So, this is a move
backward for those that are on the
progressive
train. It's a move backward and they
don't like that and they're going to
scream about it, right? Because
progressivism is saying, "No, we need to
always keep moving forward, keep
progressing, as I use air quotes here,
and it's it's the dialectic. It's
constant movement through the dialectic
pushing forward uh with progressivism
and any move back from that or some of
those that have grabbed on to that world
view.
It's like being possessed by a demon. I
mean, you are going to look like you're
going through an exorcism when something
moves the other direction. So, I'm not
saying that Sydney Sweeney and American
Eagle have done some great amazing thing
here. Certainly not ideal,
uh, because it's going back to kind of
what was going on before, which is we're
going to use sex to sell everything, but
it's still better than where we've been
because you can see that evolution that
we've been going through for the last 70
or 80 years. And at least it's a move
away from breaking everything down. And
that's why I think it's important. Now,
we're going to see if Sydney Sweeney and
American Eagle hold to their guns here
and and don't make a change. They
shouldn't. They're probably going to
sell the heck out of those genes. But
hopefully they won't apologize.
Hopefully, they'll stand firm. But the
statement is important. Push away from a
post-modern worldview. Push away from
breaking down the binary. though we've
been force-fed for years now and maybe
other companies will go along with this
as well and and move back to something
of more normaly. You have Nike, for
example, who also has been guilty of
unbelievable representation of mass
inclusion, non-binary,
etc., etc. But now they are using the
spokesperson, the golfer, Scotty
Sheffller, who is there with his little,
you know, toddler son that's with him on
the green, the golf green. And the
slogan is you've already won.
Right? So again, it's going back to oh,
this is part of the binary. This is the
structure of family.
And honestly, I know that a lot of
people will not go along with what I'm
saying here, but that is what the major
problem is. It's not white supremacy.
It's it's not Nazi propaganda. They'll
say that. They'll use those words
because they're so charged,
but the reality is it's going back to an
order. It's going back to a binary, and
they can't stand it.
Thanks for listening.
