Joe Rogan - Michael Malice Explains the NPC Meme

And it's I'm like dude. There's so much so what is an NPC? You don't know this meme is that a Scientology thing? No non-player character non-player. What you don't know about this do I get to tell you the NPC me? Yes, this is the most important for a lifetime. Yeah, okay here. We go breaking it down as quickly as possible I'm gonna show my age Okay, when you when we were younger we played games like Final Fantasy and Ultima right mm-hmm and in those games you go to Like the armor store or the weapon store and you buy your sword or you buy your armor right? There's a guy running that store within the game. Yes. He does not exist outside of that store right that character All he does is buy armor and sell armor. He doesn't have a wife doesn't kid you go there at midnight He's there you go there at 8 a.m. He's there where he's the player characters you're playing He's the non-player character and the point this meme makes is the vast majority of humans are non-player characters They have no mind outside their programming So they call it msnpc or they'll call it NPC is the network and you'll go like the or press corps They'll be like orange man bad in peach 45 Russia And that's all they know how to say and you see this on Twitter where it's one thing where people say cliched ideas But they'll say cliched ideas in a cliched way Yeah And it's like you have no mind You're just repeating what has been programmed to you in your script and as soon as you mention certain terms There's just a knee-jerk speech that they give and once you identify it's like the Matrix like you see Agent Smith everywhere Yeah, there's also a weird laziness to that. Yes That they there's some people that know that that's what that is and they accept it and they just do it anyway, right? And they cuz they know they can get away with it. Yes. Yes see that in journalism, too Well, I mean the white I mean journalism are there they had a pull-up Maddow NPC because there's a picture of her It says tonight on msnpc orange man bad or like the angry intellectual show. I think they call her It's it's hilarious and the Twitter freaked the fuck out and started banning a lot of these accounts because this is really Calling the bluff on a lot of these people like these why the Twitter ban you because they say it's dehumanizing Well, they didn't give a reason but that's the ostensible reason theoretically through it never explains. It's dehumanizing to call someone a non-player character in a way if you're saying they have no mind or soul But is it okay to scroll? I'm a basic bitch Yes, apparently that's super similar. What about calling someone a fucking Nazi, right? Why is that so easy because when you're calling someone Nazi you are reading them effectively out of the human race You're saying this person is not deserving of any semblance of decency of fairness and that's not a crazy perspective It's the ultimate subhuman designation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's the new n-word, right? Yeah But it's it's it's actually like really easy to say you can't you can't pull it up It's like not the actual thing you asked for but those memes of her as this Yeah, that's the one the third one that one that right there. Oh, well, this the Outrage intellectual show It was really hilarious is listening to liberals go off on her like real progressives like Jimmy door Oh, he's great Jimmy door Michael Tracy Glenn Greenwald None of them follow me that wish they would but they're there I hate when the right things everyone the left's the same Yeah There are many people on the left who are not PC who are brilliant who have left-wing ideas and convictions and they call shit out But the percentage of them in comparison to the percentage that just follow the narrative is so small But we're just talking about early in 90 10 90 percent of any population are gonna be NPCs. Yeah, 10 percent are gonna be the innovators. Yeah Yeah, Jimmy door goes off on her when I'm doing the arduous March me and the six friends It's J. Irwin who's a 4chan mod my buddy Michael wolf strength coach Matt who's an immigrant Matt's a ginger Simon's an immigrant my friend Paul. I didn't have a name for him So I said you're gonna be Paul and Dave Smith, you know, he's gonna be excited from the Romney win and I said Paul I'm just gonna say Paul the NPC and he immediately went out and got a gray Sweatshirt and a gray ski mask to wear it to just look like the name. So I was very proud of Paul
