Episode Details

In this thought-provoking discussion, Malcolm and Simone Collins explore the surprising ideological shift that has occurred within the Republican Party, transforming it into a haven for anti-establishment and anti-globalist sentiments once associated with hippie culture. The hosts analyze the factors that led to this change, including the Democratic Party's success in capturing major institutions, the ideological capture of corporations, and the rise of global bureaucracies. They also delve into the historical context of party realignments in the United States and the current state of the Republican base, highlighting the disconnect between influencer opinions and voter preferences on key issues like abortion.

[00:00:00] Hello everyone. We are excited to be doing an episode today on hippies being. Republican now,

. This is a really laid back place.

Oh wow, you guys shouldn't be doing that. Don't you know what you're doing to the world? You're playing into the corporate game. See, the corporations are trying to turn you into little Eichmanns so that they can make money. Who are the corporations? The corporations run the entire world, and now they've fooled you into working for them.

Are you serious? We never heard that. The government is using it's corporate ties to make you sell magazines so they can get rich. Those dirty liars! This is a really nice town you have here, that's why the corporations are trying to use you to take it down.

 Just hang with us for a bit. We'll fill you in on everything you haven't been told.

It is wild, how we have met this exact archetype of person and had these exact conversations that couth park, used to use as the stereotype of what was annoying about hippies.

At a number of Republican conferences this [00:01:00] year.

Would you like to know more?

. We have been to a number of Republican conferences this year. I'm going to break them down into really three major ones. ARC, which was of UK Republican elites.

Yeah, yeah. Then there was the one in New Hampshire that was for Libertarians. And then there was the one that was for the new underground sort of dissonant right group which was re platform. . So what was really interesting is, yes, the Hoity Toity UK one didn't have this hippie class as much. It definitely had a portion of them, but the other two were just. Pure, like most of the lines I would see in this South Park, making fun of hippie attitudes we saw in this environment.

So if I'm going to go over some, one is the globalist theory, I guess I'd call it, which is to say that there are a number of elites who run large companies [00:02:00] and ostensibly run world politics and the globe. And that you are playing into their hand. If you go get a normal nine to five bureaucratic job.

And that this group has a secret agenda, which is just to use you for your labor. And then in the episode, you might've noticed, Oh, they've come to your town because you have this nice small town and they want to ruin it. So not only that, but that they disproportionately target. Nice, healthy communities which is definitely something you often see in these circles.

And that a lot of people in the world are brainwashed and that if you just hang out with them and they're sociological and ideological bubble, that's how you get out of this brainwashing. And another thing that I think is really interesting is the mood and the vibe from the hippies, especially this era of hippies as depicted by South Park is much more similar to Republican conferences and stuff I've gone to than Democrat ones.

With Democrat ones, it is very [00:03:00] gatekeepy when you enter a community. They want to make sure that you are the right kind of person with the right kind of ideas. Where at most of the Republican conferences, it's more of a, I'm eager to share with you this theory I have about how the world works. Or basically a conspiracy.

Yeah.
