Comedian Michael Ridley says the entertainment industry’s version of normalcy is one that prioritizes sex and takes advantage of short attention spans.
The stand-up comic is currently far from the state of Virginia where he grew up, and after being able to escape the COVID-19 lockdown, he headed to Texas to make his mark in Austin’s growing comedy scene. Ta.
In just a few years, he went from being politically neutral to questioning the direction and motives of the media and government. Ridley believes that because children are constantly overstimulated with messages, their attention spans are shortened and their ability to discern what is normal and what is abnormal is diminished. .
“We’ve created a world full of sex and porn addicts. Everyone is overstimulated. [kids] My attention span is the shortest it’s ever been,” Ridley told Blaze News.
The comedian said this is most evident in the kind of role models that are pushed upon young girls.
“Kids these days are like, ‘Oh, it’s Ice Spice, she just shakes her butt on national TV, she’s an icon, she’s a hero.'” That’s pushed out as the norm. It’s strange that everything is so vulgar, it’s normal. ”
What has become irregular, Ridley argued, is that parents have some kind of common sense or moral compass in terms of what they should show their children.
Drag queens are culturally accepted as appropriate for school-age children.
“What if there was a real stripper in the library? [reading to children], parents will be angry. They said, “Get the strippers out of here!” ’”
“But now, if you have a drag queen, you’re on eggshells, not knowing if anything you say will be tolerated. Am I homophobic if I don’t want a big-bodied cross-dressing man? “fake [breasts] Do you want to read to my children? Is it because you don’t want your children to see overly sexual content?” Ridley asked.
“I want them to grow up with normal brain chemistry. I don’t want them to have social media and porn brain rot by the time they’re 14.”
Ridley says from his own experience, being exposed to explicit videos at a young age is definitely not healthy.
“I really wish that hadn’t happened. It’s not healthy to be exposed.” [porn]. ”
Virginian mentioned Pornhub blocks access to website She is active in Texas over age verification laws and complaints she heard in Austin, where she currently lives.
“What a leap kids in the ’90s had to make to access porn, and how easily these kids had access to porn…Pornhub banned in Texas It just happened and everyone’s mad. But that’s also a good thing in a way. Yeah, I’m sorry, dude.”Adults can’t watch porn, but that means kids can’t watch porn either. ”
Instant gratification and increasingly short attention spans are a “nightmare” for society, Ridley explained.
“You are a slave to this sexy, gay capitalist monster that lives and breathes by dopamine receptors, and we are all dependent on it.”
Disintegration of the nuclear family
Citing inflation and taxation, Ridley said all social and governance patterns lead to attempts to dismantle the nuclear family. The content that is being forced on young people, for example, contributes to the idea that young women are overly sexualized and that there are some powerful influences who want them to have access to abortions.
“It’s the destruction of the nuclear family. You’ve seen it in the black community. You’ve seen them destroy the nuclear family, separating fathers and mothers, separating children, separating entire generations. “Deaf” you were raised by nurture. ”
“That’s why you see videos on TikTok of a young black boy twerking and his mother and aunts laughing and clapping. If his father was there, I’d be like, ‘What is he doing?’ Right.”
Ridley isn’t shy about self-reflection, admitting that he didn’t have positive male role models growing up.
“I know what it’s like when you’re not raised with a guy who steps in and says, ‘Hey, this is wrong, stay away from my child.’ I was just being exposed to all this terrible stuff, and there was no one there to stop it, so I wasn’t supposed to look like that at a young age.”
Removing the family unit makes it easier for programming to take root in young minds. podcaster continued. For a generation raised by the media, this is just one of many factors that deny them the ability to unite and create a weak nation.
Putting children, food, and income in the hands of the government is another step toward becoming the “ideal citizen” in Ridley’s mind.
“Kids addicted to dopamine are illiterate, don’t talk about themselves, are passive…It’s like social engineering [for] perfect gear. They just want the perfect cog in this huge machine. ”
Gender theory is another negative result of this culture, Ridley explained, and an issue that comedians are looking back on as a society in confusion.
“I think all of us who encourage children to transition sometimes think, ‘Why did we do that? Oh, we were trying to do something good, right?’ You’re trying to express yourself and liberate yourself sexually, and that’s fine, but there are a lot of people who write, “I wish I hadn’t done this.”
vote with soda can
Ridley confessed that she voted for President Trump after seeing an orange soda in a parking lot on Election Day. The joke came full circle when Ridley said he would no longer vote based on jokes and that in 2024, he and his wife would vote for Trump based on the economy.
“I turned my liberal wife into a conservative ‘trad wife,’ and we hate young people,” he joked. “Even though I’m a centrist, a normal person, and have good morals, I’ve somehow become what the left calls a ‘right-wing extremist.'”
“I paid $4,500 in federal taxes. … I’m voting for Trump, that’s all.”
The 31-year-old said his “rebellious days” when he espoused phrases like “tax the rich” were long gone.
“When you start actually making money and paying for yourself, you start to wonder why all my money is going overseas to fight wars that I don’t care about at all.”
Ridley hopes the government will start providing more transparency on taxes and budgets. He said he realized that everything was becoming more expensive and was wasting “hard-earned young professionals’ money.”
A rising star who has performed at multiple comedy clubs in Austin and appeared in Joe Rogan’s productions. comedy mothershipI wondered why there always seemed to be ulterior motives when it came to government programs.
“Why is there always something evil lurking around the corner?” he asked. Mr Ridley added that the public must be able to read between the lines and notice when “programming” does not go as the media claims.
“I want normality, I want it back to 1999. I just want some of the world I grew up in back where everything is gay, everything is sexy, and kids at school don’t know how to read. But yeah, we are.” Both vote red. ”
