Matt Walsh is a conservative from the Daily Wire, and he has done something that is pretty interesting. While gender identity and gender politics run rampant in the United States, even asking questions about what’s going on is considered offensive.
We’ve also witnessed comedians like Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle experience intense backlash from their jokes about transgenders and the LGBTQ community. Even after they’ve said numerous times that they’re jokes and they have no qualms with people that identify like that, they just want to joke.
Walsh has taken these ideas to a tribe in Africa to see what they think about this and if this idea is indeed a first-world issue and if it’s reached outside the borders.
What Do The African Maasai Tribes Think Of Gender Identity & Politics?
What’s very telling is that these people have no affiliations with political parties. They’re not democratic or republican and they don’t vote in the United States (obviously), so is this particular issue something that only exists in the first-world where life has become too easy so people are looking for things to challenge themselves?
Viewers reacted to this moment saying, “You don’t need a title or riches to be a wise and intelligent person!”, “Matt is proving to the tribe that the outside world IS crazy.”, “I want to live with this trib, they understand humanity 100 times better than others.”, “Transgender”, “non binary” – You definitely gave their brains a hard reset. I hope they’ve recovered in the meantime.” and “I love how the guys in the background were just laughing and enjoying the absurd comedy of it. I wish I could trade places with one of them… even for just a day.”
You could definitely tell that some of the words Matt said they had never heard before and struggled to understand. It’s an interesting piece of social commentary and will be immediately excused from half the country and praised by the other half. However, as I say that, I think it’s wrong because many Americans in the middle (real Americans like you and I) that don’t subscribe to either party realize that this is going a bit far, and basic science tells us that there are biological differences between a man and woman.
