Here's a transcript, in case it helps anyone else who wasn't feeling like listening:
"I kinda hit that stage being fed up with this level of society for the past ten, fifteen years. What drove me down was that whenever you try to talk to people about, hey, there's a better way of doing things, there's a more efficient way of doing things, can we do it this way? Can we get off our asses, can we pick ourselves up out of the fucking dirt here, and actually do something about it?
But it seems hard to do that, or "it's not my views on the world", or... it's just like: fine, I'll move on ahead, you can fucking rot.
And encountering this sort of thing over and over and over again has dwindled down that good-will feeling towards other people, and has just made me feel more of: Huh. You know, there's some pieces of shit in the world, that really shouldn't be moving on with the rest of society. But the thing is, that's what a lot of people who hurt a lot of other people used to think, and that's not the kind of person I am.
I'd like to see the rest of society move up in the world, to be able to move to a post-scarcity society. But then again, there are people who take a little hop skip and a jump and think "oh, he's thinking of socialism". This is another point to attack everybody on that and says, oh, you gotta have two party on this and that. The thing is, this topic hits on so many levels of political issues, social issues, government issues, people's personal lives, and trying to say that oh I want a post-scarcity society, yeah everybody else does too, but the thing is everybody else doesn't want their own way of living disturbed, or have to do changes that might disrupt their way of living. Honestly I have kind of given up on that. People will not change unless they want to change. I have to change in order to stay alive in the world. I've been changing for the past twenty years to stay alive in the world.
And people really just don't feel like it's worth their time. But that's just my two cents on that."
