Ancient Greek proverb "Society is made great when old man plant seeds of trees the shade of which they will never sit" Modern US proverb "Tear down the trees and build another golf course"
In Florida it's also "drain the swamp".
Yep
Listening to this in 2024. Almost 6 years old and it plays like it was published yesterday.
The wikapedia article on The Villages is an award winning dystopian novel.
😂
Gotta love apartheid brought to you by a corporation
squirestew4u the ancaps are all fully erect.
@@jacksonhoward1442 Fuck off, fascist colonizer.
when in the last 5 decades has south africa been anything but developing?
we didnt have this crap until the HR dept flew in "aka Liberals"
@@adrianwellington4419 From its independence in 1961. You know Verwoed was a terrible man but very smart he could have actually changed the course of the country back when he was Prime Minister we could have been as developed as an Australia, so many mineral resources and fertile land. Apartheid was one of the most complex systems of discrimination in modern human history, if that research went into developing the country for better for all.

"this guy should live in a kennel" "you could just amuse him with a kong filled with peanut butter" are my favorite chapo lines of all time
The Villages:
A horrifying dystopia of shuffling sun scarred Boomer necrofascist zombies.
In theaters June 21 1983!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if it was an actual plot of some cult 1980s VHS horror film.
It's more like midgar
@@ETYPEJaguar38 There is actually a horror movie from the early 90's with a similar premise called "Society", where basically the son of a rich family in Beverly Hills discovers his parents and their friends are a different species that enjoy eating poor people by literally fusing with them. Seriously recommend it.
@@brandonweatherstone2380 That movie is hard to sit through for me, just for the visuals.(you all know what I'm talking about)
Helltown
My parents bought a house here. When I went to visit I always got the strangest feeling like I was living in a bubble universe of some atrociously boring person's version of paradise.
@@danielyoung6778 like damn son, you hit the nail on the head. Its exactly that kind of society. my parents are definitely the neoliberal poster child for the kinds of people that walled themselves off from the world after they helped destroy it. Fine people, of course.
Fun fact: The Villages is one of the most STD ridden communities in the entire country.
I'm pretty sure thats inaccurate. Now, highest rates in Florida, that may be more accurate.
Literally a fascist class.
Hunter S. Thompson warned us about these people.
Haven't read much Thompson, where did he say that?
@@WanderingIdiot81 in fear and loathing there is an anti drug rally he attends its those people.
@@Daniel-eo6ke right on, thanks!
He was also a dickhead libertarian
@@samij6071 So because he was a Libertarian that disqualifies everything he says?
As a veteran and someone who is pretty much always around veterans, the "spat upon" veteran myth is still very much a thing.
ofc it is, it offloads the burden of having to take any responsibility while simultaneously making you the center of attention or martyr.
It might be a cliche at this point, but that definitely happened to at least a few Vietnam veterans
Guys after getting home from the war where I liberated crying children and gave them lollipops 3 hippies wearing John Lennon glasses and flower crowns teabagged me then did the fortnite dance on the grave of my fallen friends
AZMODIUS Good. Vietnam was a criminal war and US vets of it deserve to be spat upon as much as Nazis do.
@@Johnsmith99663
I understand your frustration but don't go throwing the nαzis under the bus.
I never thought I'd ever see the Fascist equivalent of hippie communes
You gotta know some of the Woodstock attendees voted for Trump. The boomers always support/ do what's best for them personally.
Isn't that basically what the rw militias are?
@Sam D "what's wrong with colonisation" hmm might be the exploitation of local people for the benefit of their overlords.
I'm sure you wouldn't understand, right-wing ideology is strongly opposed to introspection.
@Sam D also no one wants you to apologise for it. You only feel like you have to because you have tied your identity directly to people who engaged in such conquests. To say these people are wrong would, in your mind, be admitting you yourself are wrong. No one feels white guilt more so than people like you.
@Sam D The Europeans were pretty damn self-sufficient. Colonialism was unnnecessary and only occurred because they needed more markets for capitalists.
I don't know how else I can explain to you that colonialism is bad. How do I explain morality to someone who lacks morals and seeks only to extend domination onto whom he sees as lesser.
You know, if they built a gigantic 50 foot wall around this community and then filled it completely with water, literally nothing of value would be lost at all.
Chewy Thomson
Good water forever tainted.
Nah, just weld the gates shut and televise it.
No they are human beings, you're more of an extremist than them
Anselm Guile lol no they aren't
Yes!

The villages in Orlando are genuinely worse than the settlements in the West Bank
I just measured distance on a map. The Villages are about 45 miles from downtown Orlando as the crow flies.
they're a couple exits from ocala, the horse capital of the world
@@michaelnewman7248 I always saw all those horse racing billboards on my way up to Gainesville and now I know why
A friend of my mother let us spend last Christmas in her house in the Villages. The pools are for people over THIRTY.
Children under 19 are limited to 30 days per year (these are these people's GRANDKIDS FFS)....
I hear there is a huge STD epidemic at The Villages. Swingers of the world unite!
@Seth M. I live here and the concealed swinging culture is unreal and hilarious. They put pool noodles with different colors on their golf carts to covertly signal different things to the other swingers
@@Jack-cw8bw "trump worshipping boomers accidentally reinvent the hanky code with pool noodles in their cult commune" was definitely not something I ever expected to find out
As a native urban Floridian nothing warms the palm-tree cockles of my sunny little heart than my certainty of belief that in the next ten to twenty years, I and my peers will not only outlive but likely be life-extended far past these ancient, vicious, villainous dodderers-not only in the Villages and other red districts but statewide; and that as the first of the toxic, pruney and age-spotted cancer-ridden carcasses are gently and steadily laid to rest in the hallowed ground of an embattled, very purple Florida, the tide shifts, beckoning a big, bright tsunami of blue as each and every following burial bequeaths us one less angry dullard's red vote.
AuralAudacity ASMR Man, you really channeled Hiaasen in that one.
Your passion is admirable.
Boomerism isn't an age, but a mindset.
You'd be underwater but it's a nice sentiment
@@vienlacrose A mindset created by a socioeconomic environment the boomers have themselves dismantled. The 1950s shared prosperity boom made them and they've snuffed it out.
Now is the time of a Red Hot Rage. The 1930s made the Greatest Generation. This era born out of the Financial Crisis and the Forever Wars are making something very similar.
Time to make our New Deal happen once these creeps shuffle off the mortal coil.
@Roscoe Fresh
May your summers be hot, and your times interesting.
I visited the villages once(long story) and I swear I was 50 years younger than everybody else minimum.
I did get to drive a dope yellow golf cart though
thats nuts lol
Super neat.
I met them, 15 years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I this former jet ski dealership owner... I realized that what was living behind that dotard's eyes was purely and simply... evil.--Dr. Samuel Loomis upon visiting The Villages
Ian Taylor The problem is these people use their stupidity as cover for being a bunch of maliciously self-centered assholes.
Ian Taylor Seriously, it’s as if a guy standing next to you repeatedly kicks you in the balls, only to say it was an involuntary reflex each time afterwards, or that they hallucinated you were a hip-hop thug trying to take their wallet. At some point you get tired of that shit and fucking kick them back.
The corollary to Hanlon's Razor is "Sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from incompetence."
@Victor Williams
Fuck you and your foresight....
(Not really foresight; the DNC has always been this predictable.)
World's gotten worse since those weighty days.
Oh god it's *literally* the old generation, with the least investment in the actual effects of policies or in the future in general, that have doomed all of us, individually and as a civilization/species, to slow, horrific, painful deaths at the hands of climate change. It's poetic.
Is that a real name, Kip Tucker?
Lol, fucking every time.
Kip Tucker. Ford Springer. THESE ARE NOT REAL NAMES
"They've made the BIGGEST contributions to your world..."
Who do you think he's talking about? Last I checked, the generation that fought WW2 are pretty much all dead. The oldsters we're dealing with now fought a useless war in Vietnam, then got us into even more useless wars for oil. They're a bunch of naive dumbasses and dirtbags.
"Young men were DRAFTED to Vietnam, ordered by their gov't to go!" Yeah, and they didn't have the sense to skip over the border to Canada or Mexico. Like I said, they aren't exactly over-furnished in the brain department.
"During the Cold War, I was stationed in the Arctic Circle, near the USSR border." So not exactly a war zone, eh granddad? Why is it always the folks who never saw combat who are so desperate to get us into the next war?
LOL! "Love it or leave it", eh?Yeah, as soon as someone says something you don't like, out goes your commitment to the First amendment. Do you really think you're defending America by trampling all over the Bill of Rights? To you, the Constitution only matters when people are saying things you agree with. I'm getting kinda tired of scumbags like you who think a half-assed commitment to the US is what makes a real Marine. No wonder we lost in Korea and Vietnam.
Golf courses need to be seized and used for something useful
As a kid who grew up around them they are money pits. Just make them public or turn them into parks.
@@AmbientSounds205 but then how will country club members know theyre better than everyone else?
@@leorickt.9604 They have to flaunt their 401k and stock holdings
Some of you comrades have never broken 100 and it shows.
Affordable housing
fucking christ. my dad was part of a construction crew that helped build The Villages back in 2006. He worked his ass off, ask the way up until working on this Boomer Hell Town caused him to have a stroke. my mom, my brother, and myself went to visit him while he was in a Florida hospital (we're from GA). we stayed in a hotel provided by the company.
we were staying a golf cart ride away from this place. believe when I tell you that this place is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter for people who think Jimmy Buffet is a national treasure.
tl;dr this place is hell on earth and building it kickstarted my dad's congestive heart failure.
The Villages have 125,000 people. The 2018 governor election was won by only 33,000 people. Keep that in mind.
Mom lived in one of these up until she got too ill. Everything in the article and in their riffing is 100% spot on.
i used to go to high school near here. they actually have a high school there for the grand kids and family, and they all looked like future college republicans
mesque unclub I bet they'll make a special exception to let Ben Shapiro move there early.
Comrade Mother Nature can’t wipe Florida off the map soon enough 🌬🌊
Panic! At The Gulag lots of people of color live there though
Yeah, only north florida sucks. The south is just caribbean immigrants trying to live normal lives
Quick, accelerate climate change to assist in the dismantling of capitalism!
Fuck South Florida too, bunch of rich assholes down here
@@EVanimations Posadism with Exxonist characteristics
'there's too many mexicans, and somebody has to do something about it.' perfect summary of conservatism in one statement
'there's too many jews, and somebody has to do something about it.' See how the supposed enemy group always changes but the same hatred is always there?
who said anything about Mexicans?
“Can we get rid of all the Mexicans?”
-“NO, Mr. Garrison, we CANNOT get rid of all the Mexicans!”
@@stevehendricks1718 Campbell did
Saw this in a reddit thread about STD's in retirement communities: "There's a place in Florida called "the villages" where many old people go to retire. It's known to be a huge swinger community with a loofa based communication system where the color of the loofa (usually displayed on a car or something like that) indicates the kind of stuff you're into. It's also known to have its own strain of gonorrhea..."
"All these names have double chins"
Unfortunate that we couldn't sink greater Orlando into the abyss without also losing Miami and the Keys
I think that's what they want
@B. Greene The exurbs of Orlando are very right-leaning.
If you sonsabitches touch Cape Kanaveral or the launch pad, i'm going to have you -reported- unpersoned.
Chett Sturgis is the best man-name ever, fight me
this really is peak chapo
Literally
"I love it when he says 'fake news'. I only watch Fox because they're the only media that tells the truth." LMAO
My next door neighbor, who is a perpetually cheerful Christian in the mold of Ned Flanders (right down to the mustache & glasses) says that too.
This is my favorite Chapo reading. Must’ve listened to this at least a dozen times now. Never fails to make me laugh and horrify me.
25:33 25:33
Trump's retweet of a white supremacist from The Villages brought me back here
Michael Grunwald is a great journalist, wrote an amazing book called "the Swamp" about the Everglades and corruption in Florida. He is one of the only people in the mainstream still doing great journalism
Freaking hilarious!!!! I live 30 minutes from the villages, you have nailed it!!!
i imagine it would be really frightening to have not voted for the donald surrounded by such fascism
It is, everyone is a fucking 600 year old Confederate soldier.
i hate the confederacy
I live nearby. I have amassed a collection of firearms and a few bulletproof vests as I have no faith in anyone coming to my rescue with this class of scum
Holy shit, my grandparents live there. I’ve visited there a few times and it’s fucking eerie. This is spot on in every way.
if you don't hear this and start humming the internationale you're part of the problem H T H
We just need to
Man, listening to this makes me so nostalgic for pre-2020 Chapo. The energy in this is something else.
Before everything fell apart.
listening now you can tell they can barely tolerate talking to another anymore, it's so disjointed now. Felix best chapo any day.
What changed?
@@Garrett1240 not really one thing but the whole virgil fiasco's still a mystery as to what exactly went down, they went a little too whole hog into the bernie campaign after nevada gave us false hope, and since theyve drifted apart. Matt wants to be the next jim jones or some shit, Felix wants to be a twitch streamer, and i have no clue what Will's motivations are. Amber's still just reading the Economist and drinking tea or something. Seems like virgil's in some sort of hospital for, as he put it "experiencing ego death weekly" which is def not good for you, so yeah hes prob gonna be eating orange slices for the next 10 years.
@@jennbaker6964 I literally don’t know what happened to Virgil. I only started listening to this podcast and watching tons of clips a few months ago. What happened to Virgil and why do you say Matt wants to be Jim Jones?
The community is so big that it actually has news sites that cover it exclusively, and almost every day there's a story on there about some boomer getting arrested for a DUI in his golf cart
I'm so glad I listened to the end. That Ben Shapiro burn at the ending was so outstanding.
Fun fact. I just visited my Mexican in-laws at the villages. Don't worry. They, and we, are Bernie supporters.
They did say 98.3% white
Felix's take on the John Birch Society at 20:55 is up there in my favorite Chapo Moments of all time
A good example of the need for gulags
republican gulags. hell yeah.
Strawman Akkad get a job hippie
Tottaly agreed
Build a wall around the area to “keep their neighborhoods safe from MS-13 and antifa,” then one day without warning just seal off all entrances and exits and turn the place into a giant labor camp.
Nah, they're too old. JUst seal it off and then start releasing chlorine into the air.
70 should be the max age for voting and running for public office.
8:52 I bet the number of Villages residents who've been beaten to death with a putter after a drunken argument on a golf outing with the guy he wife swaps with on the weekends is not 0.
This is the All Time Greatest Chapo Clip. In recognition I'm gonna just start coming up with fake Villager names, and keep editing in new ones here over time.

Revisiting after the president retweeted the “white power” tweet
they made a boomer ethnostate lmao
This sounds like Vault City from Fallout 2
So what you’re saying is the Enclave was right?
Except there is no way their leader would ever be black
This sounds like the ideal neighborhood to loot when the revolution comes
For what? Franklin mint collectible plates?
Stamps?
Fucking golf clubs?
@@finished6267 all the dinars you could ever want.
@@freakyzed8467 oh tight. Iraqi dinar are the boomer doge.
This is one of the best of all time
My great grandma (97 years old, blind, and very active) is fucking great. She’s a hardcore catholic, but she’s pro gay rights, pro abortion, pro religious freedom, etc (weird, huh?). She lives through the Great Depression, graduated high school at 16 and joined a shoe factory to support her family. She was voted “most likely to become president” in her class but she had to give up her dreams of going to college because her family was so poor. She is hardline anti-trump, and has voted progressive in every election since she turned 18. I really, really wish every old person was like her.
Your great grandmother needs to Go On Chapo.
Hardcore catholic anti catholic. Nice.
2:40 When I think of "The Village", I think of a weird place where everybody has numbers instead of names, people can never leave, there are killer roaring weather balloons.
"It has enough golf courses to play a different course every week of the year..."
"Oh my fucking God kill me now"
I made the mistake to take a peek at The Villages area satellite images via maps. It might be as depressing as scrolling around looking at the tar sands oil extraction operations.
I live in the villages, the private security detail that patrols the streets just got government plates on their commercial cars. this place is scary.
Wait so anti war protesters didn’t spit on Vets? Damn I thought protesters were cool.
Well vets are in a way the victims of the system. They get sent to faraway lands to kill people so that corporations can line their pockets.
My grandfather served in some of the worst fighting in Korea, and he came out hating war just as much as any anti war protestor.
The saddest part is that his records where lost over the years so when my family tried to get him VA benefits it took them years to get barely anything.
Plz do not spit on veterans, thank u
Spitting on people who got drafted would be shitty
@@timlampasona6925 Hi, vet here, if you would've spit on me I wouldn't have taken until 2014 to realize that Obama and the whole liberal edifice was a sham.
Yes. Ask my black grandfather (ww2) and father (Vietnam)
About that. There were no parades, or any of that other shit. It was just 'welcome back , boy, get to sweeping floors and washing dishes, unless you want to be a career military man'
My grandparents live here, and it’s genuinely creepy how similar everything is
Still one of the best Chapo episodes.
Omg...I have a trust fund cousin who is in one of these in Florida! Thanks for filling in the gaps.
I heard the villages has the largest concentration of STDs in the country
The Villages sounds a lot like The Muse at Windsor Heights from Snow Crash.
A whole town of front steps that need buttering
Chet Sturges. Aaah ha ha ha ha ha.
WTF is "Chet" short for anyway? I mean, surely no one is actually called "Chet".
Chester lol, sad I know that but that's what it's short for
This is the humour needed in a psycho world. The brutal truth in a brutal world😀😊😭😢😐😃😄
Ur so right at the end I used to conservative until I actually thought about nuance
You say "The Village" and my mind goes to The Prisoner. Which also works in this context.
Here's another comment posted on TheVillageNews.com by an actual resident:
"Don, What a breath of fresh air. My parents were messianic white liberals from suburban Chicago who believed in bussing, sec.8, quotas, lowered standards, abolish civil service, etc. I tried to tell them about "diversity" but they won't listen. FINALLY their neighborhood became integrated. 1 st to go was the Propane BBQ grill,Lawn mower while taking a Pee, groceries while unloading from the street, roofing shingles taken at night,burglary while doing yard work,neighbor kids asking for just $10 to buy food(crack), schools scores collapsed while spending more$.They missed out on the masked home invasions. I tried to tell them for I lived & worked with multiculturalism. Our government has ethnically cleansed every major city in America. We need a currency collapse to see if America would survive like The Great Depression."
this is why we need a boomercide, 5 years cannot come fast enough holy shit
We need to nuke these motherfuckers from orbit.
Shinra reference got me pretty fucked up, it's vindicating that one of my favorite pieces of science fiction was so prescient but on the other hand oh noooooooo
Thanks for the PSA. I now know one place NOT to go to when I retire.
Shinra Company!!!
Literally midgar
Wow. That's twice as many people as love in my hometown, the "City" of Berwyn.
I think I just found a neighborhood of volunteers for an early cremation
A few years ago a friend suggested I move there. I didn't explicitly know any of this but reacted instinctively, "No way."
Also, I'm from Indianola, MS. The home of the White Citizens Council. Their headquarters were across the street where we were raised. A conservative father from Mississippi. A liberal mother from California. An interesting mix.
If we have minimum age to vote we should have a maximum too. The moment you retire you're off the ability to vote.
Wow the new get out adaptation went in a weird direction
Goddamn, Jordan Peele NEEDS to make this.
I'd like you all to know that I got a Ben Shapiro ad on this video
Even if you love golf, who the FUCK wants to live with/by that many golf courses?!? I’m a huge swimmer, but there’s such a thing as too many swimming pools no matter how cool they are!
Can't wait until the Villages degenerates into the music video for HAM by Mr. Oizo.
I got a concealed carry ad as pre-roll for Chapo. lol.
brookstanner
Is it the “RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS DON’T CARRY A GUN AS A WEAPON, BUT AS A SHIELD” with the flip-out holster? Made it a point to never buy their holster because of how fucking annoying that ad is.
This should be called Boomerville
There is a pizza restaurant in The Villages called NYPD Pizza.
New York Pizza Delicatessen

There's a based lib in this neighborhood who is the coolest man you will ever know. And he's having a great time ☺️😂
5:45 Amazing joke by Felix that was lost on the room
These guys need to peep the villages in Vancouver Washington, across the river from and also in Portland Oregon . Some funky shit goin on there
"Easily over a hundred puppies" killed me
“Oh I just unlocked the Lieutenant Calley skin.”
Obama saluting with a latte = WW1 and Great Depression for Trump supporters.
oh i bet it's just a coincidence that this is the only content on CZcams that stops playing and pretends to buffer with full wifi or 4G and doesn't resume until i close and reopen the app and reload the video?
This is like the lore of the "ok boomer" meme
shinra joke
Did you guys finally set up an official CZcams Channel?
