"So What If You're Offended? Nothing Happens" - Comedian Steve Hughes 

Maybe think about making the interviews a little bit longer.?

The letting go of control reminded me of Terence McKenna advice Don't Worry, video on RU-vid

@@PMichaelG Interview? Wasn't this just Steve chatting for an hour with two guys saying "hmm" and "ah, hmm" from time to time😃

They look really uncomfortable.

The video removed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fHMoDt3nSHs.html - very funny

Perfect

@Dr. Fun you punk. 😆

Zwenk Wiel let’s hope punk doesn’t come back anytime soon because it’s absolute shite!

Its entitlement they have

@@lustforlow-end6022 Oi! well yeah.. maybe you just listened to the wrong groups.. or maybe you have no taste.. maybe that's just like my opinion man.

I personally wouldn't call it free thinking to assume that every single thing on the news is a lie. Free thinking is discernment, you think and judge for yourself, don't fall in love with any single perspective, ie all news is true, or all news is fake news, they're both two sides of a binary. I will say he's mostly a free thinker for sure, but everyone has their blindspots.

@@robbiemedica2652 I’m not sure Steve said every single thing reported in the news is lies. I agree with your premise though (to judge for yourself).

@You are correct But we can’t all be as free thinking as David Icke 😅

I don’t know about that. He’s seems a bit attached to some ideas.

@Zwenk Wielyes copy him 100%. Copy everything he says, word for word, then you’re a free thinker. Keep taking your meds, mate 😁👍

Yeah

yes this was a standout quote!

I E,The Tories...

@@idonthavealoginname They are left of centre you pleb! lol

@@bulltraderpt really im assured theyre far right lol

Sounds ace.

Cool story Hansel

I miss that era too, for very similar reasons. The supposed 'cool kids' of today are like our nemeses from back then: busybody, controlling, uptight church ladies who don't get ANY OF IT, nor do they want to ("shut it down!"). It's unbelievable, how did this happen to the DIY, anti-establishment, artpunk underground?! Art and comedy...pfffffhtthh, gone in 2021 thanks to these dorks who are seen as the 'cool kids' of their generation. Imagine if they went back in time to the 1990s underground music and art 'scenes'. Oh dear.

Sounds great 👍

And something that the Canadian Natives are finally waking up to. Especially under this government.

That was pretty much what Malcolm X used to tell African Americans. He was seen as very dangerous by the government because essentially he was telling African Americans to sort their own shit out, think for themselves and not be dependent on the government, That was twisted into promoting violence, but really he was saying stop being dependent.

I'd take it further. You are your own worst oppressor.

Stoic

It's 3 years later, what's your thoughts now? Shit's gotten worse, right!?! 😮

Yeah, ageism is such a brilliant argument.

@@rolandschneider1741 It goes to the ability of a 20-year old, barely awake to myriad of conflicting aspects of navigating the world, to assess his - or my - beliefs about races. And yes, I adhere to the 'old' definition of racism. The new 'everyone who not black is a racist because they live in a society where blacks on average fare worse than whites' is bullshit. It's useless. Because if everyone is a racist just for living in a certain place then what's the point in using that term. Meanwhile, the term 'racist' evokes some really nasty connotations which very few people whishes to associate themselves with, so it becomes a weapon against which there is no defense. Btw. it was never an argument but more a feeling of "You don't get to judge me based on near-zero knowledge of me or my values and possibly a snippet of what I've said, taken out of context."

@@rolandschneider1741 Go back to mommys basement and your hotpockets.

@@Necromonger69 don't be such a crass asshole. While I don't think we need the term 'ageism' (fucking everything is an 'ism' these days), the guy does have a point. It's a weak argument to state "I'm older and therefore wiser" - the more appropriate and effective tactic is to prove your wisdom through sound argumentation, without recourse to immutable traits.

8:42 Their faces at his laughter LOL 😂 😂

I enjoyed the talk but TBH the laugh was just annoying, if your funny we'll laugh with you if not I don't need a signboard when to laugh. Sorry mate but that laugh just got on my tits.

@@Medicina2024 Same. I notice he often uses his laugh to end the sentence when he wants to make a point, but doesn't know how to finish his thought.

@@EvenTheDogAgrees yeah thats exactly tbe point i was trying to make.

I meet woke people OFTEN in my social circles. I am a musician in the Jam/Hippie/EDM Festival scene > but it’s worth running into them and dismissing their outrageous talking points with humorous banter aka “omg is this guy serious?” type of humor. It’s the only method I’ve seen work because if you get people laughing then the spirit of wholeness will feel *shame* which ultimately is an analogue of *guilt* which is the what they let pursuance them in these discussions (not rationale)

@@BuddhishMusic Can you give examples of your response(s)?

That line would be perfect on a T-shirt

My sympathies. It seems that would wear on the soul after a while.

@@Bot23 ONS. If you've got a 'BAME Network' it will be co-ordinated by a radical group called the Civil Service Race Forum. I'd investigate what kind of resources they're sharing. Good luck.

Go on Yammer and do your head in. For politically neutral servants of government, it's a joke.

@@MAX-tw3qz Do other Civil Servants use Yammer or is it only ONS? Either way, I know exactly what you're talking about.

@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers Yammer is the civil service ran social media platform. They all use it. It's so politically bias you get investigated if it runs counter to the Globalist narrative, no wonder Priti Patel exasperates as Home secretary, the civil service is awash with Liberal lunacy and Yammer is where they organise everything from. I'd scrap it.

The interviewers are struggling for sure 😂

Luckily now thruth is ...

I think Konstantin must have either been really really tired, medicated or not feeling 100%. His eyes were very heavy lidded and blinking very slowly and his lower face was super slack for most of this.

Agree! This guy is truly refreshing. Best interview for me too.

When I heard Steve Hughes was cancelling his tour, I was offended. Then when I woke up in the morning, I had leprosy!

Agree completely. That discussion should have gone on for another hour. It was painful when it ended abruptly in the middle of some very incredible (incredibly intelligent) commentary from Hughes.

100%

Rogans not worthy of Steve mate, C'mon,Joe's a fkn sellout. He thinks his mate schaub is funny, he's not even funny FFS. Like some of his Podcasts but.

Awesome way of putting it.

They're so brainwashed that it's confronting to be told the truth to their faces.

Too much truth!

Agree 100%

He has alot more material and interviews on RU-vid. He is a brilliant human being, i had the good fortune of meeting him 2 years ago.

I'm from a small town in New Hampshire. We had one black family growing up. They were very nice. I tell people now "It's really easy avoiding racism when there are no other races around." He did make a great point about the south.

I've visited many places in the US on biz trips, and I can honestly say that the best times I've had were in the southern states, with southerners. There's a base level of politeness and respect there that the rest of the country doesn't have. I'm ashamed of all the Hollywood-driven stereotypes I believed about the south as a child growing up in the UK. And don't think for one moment that any of this was by accident...

I've thought about this for years. The "south" has been used as the corporate approved liberal punching bag for a very, very long time, used as an "enemy within" onto which liberals could project (in the Freudian sense) all their own repressed and disavowed behavior and traits. More recently, the "south" as been replaced by the "Trumpster" - southern and mid-western non-college educated ex-workers whose jobs were outsourced abroad. Interesting how those people are now considered "the enemy within," the very people whose lives the global corporatists have destroyed have been made into the vehicle onto which educated liberals can project their repressed fantasies (and march along to the corporatist tune without ever having to admit that is what they are doing).

The south of the US is basically the north of the UK. Apart from the french bits. The popular white and older names in the southern states are tilted towards Celtic and northern british or at least it seems that way.

@@thadtuiol1717 Southerners are friendly. Some would be less friendly if you werent white.

"let himself become PC". What the fuck do you mean or want you wanker

A for Anarchist.

he is a great human, one of the few left that is right.

He doesn't have enough material.

Nah mate just keep thinking the way you were, no confusion there. Have a good day 👍

That would be an amazing interview/podcast!

That would be excellent

yeah Steve is way beyond these guys, but they seem wise enough to learn from him instead of being offended by him.....watch Steves 'while its still legal' here on utube, its his best imo

I sensed the same slow-blinking, fatigued state in him too.

He's just using logic

They wanted out within the first 20 minutes when they were saying he was being transphobic lol neither one had the balls or the sense of humour to handle his views.

Neither one of them could argue against his points... left doesn't like honesty

@@insomniacbritgaming1632 As Steve himself would say 'no point in constantly preaching to the choir'

"Do not throw pearls before swine." - Steve Hughes + Jesus Steve's interviews over the past year have been stellar.

I'm pretty sure they knew about Steve.

indeed .. he is the only person i have ever heard mentioning the media interviewers doing their little head knodding thing like little dogs or change the subject when they loose the argument . This is so impartial .. but what did anyone expect

It's only financially motivated though, it's not some massive agenda or anything. I mean, would you seriously expect every single news outlet on the globe to all somehow share and agree on the exact same narratives for the exact same reasons while at the same time being in tight competition with each other, that kind of thinking is rediculous . You can't have that many organisations/people all pulling in the same direction for the same unspecified reasons.

@@jedaaa Do you really think “ all these news outlets” are somehow independant from each other ? They are mainly all owned by 8 consortiums ...

@@lordlucan7655 name all 8 of them

@@jedaaa well lets just say names such as Disney , Time Warner , News Corp , Viacom in usa and international media . In Europe lets say germany where Bertelsmann owns a huge array of the media and France where Lagadere and Bouygues own most .. For UK the Daily mail group make up a huge part .

Why? Have you not heard enough of Joe's same old tired opinions. These guys were perfect interviewers. They asked decent questions then let him take the floor. Joe wants to waste half an hour telling his guest/audience the same shit he did in the last 100 podcasts

@@matthewjamison Thank God someone said it! 🙏❤

@@matthewjamison It would open up a huge audience for Hughes. Are you aware of dualism?

@@russpoore8997 I am now. And I don't care about all that audience nonsense. I'm Irish, not American. That stuff doesn't interest me. And for Steve's mental health, I don't think opening him up to another 30 million people would be healthy

@@matthewjamison U2 were on Top of the Pops before they became pop. Are you a clinical psychiatrist?

@Kevin solway. ...etc, wow, just wow, I've become almost a 60 year old bloke and have NEVER heard ANYBODY even reference Judy Tzuke before! Probably one of my first proper crush, and of course I would "stay with her til dawn ". Fuck me, who wouldn't?

Glazed expression

They don't quite know what to do with it, but have the sense to let him run. The limited number of questions they ask were well weighted. I'm not huge fans of theirs, but they did a great job of not fucking it up.

They pointed him back to interesting points when he went too far for the center of their audience. An admirable interview tactic and arguably the ideal tactic when putting out content for a diverse audience. This is how you do it folks.

I listen to a lot of comedians and they are more spot on than most people I talk or listen to

You just had to know, we're all in very deep shit if the most accurate truth of current events is gleaned from comedians. Doesn't matter what continent (N. American, personally) this is happening in, it's like witnessing the death of a mine-canary watching cancel culture level its reticule at comedians (and free speech by proxy)!
