Dave Chappelle humorously reflects on money and power, pointing out the psychological implications of removing dictators' images from currency.
again I was watching this Dave Chappelle thing, just because I need to laugh. sometimes I always laugh at Dave Chappelle, old stuff and they he was making a joke, uh about. uh, when we, the americans, uh, or when all the the western countries invaded, um, iraq, one of the first things they did was, uh, take the dictators money. uh, face off the money, because you know that's a psychological you know, like having someone's face on your money. that's controlling your destiny and then to take it off and remove it is like, oh, liberation or whatever. but then he made the joke like oh, but you know, in america, you know, all the dollars is like slave owners. it's like trading cards with slave owners and whatnot, you know.
[14:58-15:24]
Society debates the evolution of gender norms, emphasizing the importance of healing trauma over mere comfort.
now You don't even have to have a sex. now You could just be an ex. And realistically, that all sounds good. It's all about, you know, making everybody feel comfortable with each other. That's cool. You know, I don't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable, But Instead of trying to do all this crazy shit to make people feel comfortable, why don't we just heal the people that have been traumatized to be feeling this way?

The narrator discusses global power dynamics, comparing them to the movie 'Ants' and advocating for collective resistance against the elite.
uh, the people that run the world are evil. It's close to impossible to go up against them. close to impossible is the key word or key words, because it's not impossible. and yes, they do run the world, but at the same time it takes us. they're profiting off it. they wouldn't have, they wouldn't be the wealthy one percent if it wasn't every other person buying and supporting them in whatever way. again, it's like. it's like it looks like you know, when we look at a certain way, it looks like they're in control. they're holding all the cards. they got all the power. It's like that movie Ants. you know the ants and the grasshoppers. you know they're all scared of the grasshoppers and they're bigger and stronger or whatever. But then the ants realize: yo, we got the numbers y'all, Like it's like trillions of ants against fucking a hundred grasshoppers. Like, what are we doing? Why are we taking this crap? You know what I mean.
