I've never heard a more selective presentation of basic facts. When did Palestinians have an opportunity for a viable state, for example? (And how is Bari Weiss going to help found a university dedicated to free inquiry? She made her career on canceling pro-Palestinian professors.) Do you seriously believe Russia will lose in Ukraine? Where do you get your news?

@patriciakimball8150 It's increasing . . . now? Are you all right? Are you sure?

@myal7532 Do you think Ukraine can win? His analysis of that war is complete nonsense -- but he never says anything that, when proven wrong, could possibly hurt him. That's his paramount skill.

Do you think Ukraine can win? His analysis of that war is complete nonsense -- but he never says anything that, when proven wrong, could possibly hurt him. That's his paramount skill. Whatever else anyone may say, and quite apart from any ethical considerations whatsoever, it is simply a fact that America's reputation in the world is now terrible. No one believes anything that America says, because of Gaza. "Humanitarianism" has been exposed as pure opportunism of the most cynical kind. If you are American, it should matter to you, regardless of how you would want that war to turn out. His take on the BRICS+ is whistling in the dark. To mention China's debt and ignore America's is risible.

@marcusaurelius9123 Start listening to their channels. Just to see what they have to say. Do you think Ukraine can win? His analysis of that war is complete nonsense -- but he never says anything that, when proven wrong, could possibly hurt him. That's his paramount skill.

@marcusaurelius9123 Does Australia speech Chinese? No, huh?

@mrharpable This gives you solace? This?

Follow the money. It is so much simpler than sincere people make it out to be.
2
@JorgeRzezak Whatever anyone may say, and quite apart from any ethical considerations, America's reputation is now trashed because of the war on Gaza. No one believes anything that America says. "Humanitarianism" has been exposed as an opportunistic lie. I don't understand why any American would fail to recognize this, given that it is in their vital self-interest to recognize it. In the meantime, this guy will do fine.

But discourse like NF's becomes even more lucrative. What's not to like?
2
Why is it that such haters prosper in the Anglo world?
2
What does that even mean?

@gmw3083 LOL 🤣

The money is great. Any questions?
1
How deep is your denial?
1
You would.

Money; an ideological, committed, but unhappy marriage; money. Sums it up.
1
Cha-ching? Also, he is not happily married is my guess. Ideological marriages may be committed, but rarely happy. Cha-ching becomes even more important.

Do you also revel in The Secret?

Whatever anyone may say, and quite apart from any ethical considerations, America's reputation is now terrible. No one believes anything that America says. "Humanitarianism" has been exposed as pure opportunism. If you are an American, you should care, out of pure self-interest. The BRICS expanded during the Russian escalation of the conflict in the Donbas, which fundamentally changed its character and turned it into a war. I didn't think that could happen before peace was concluded. But it did. Draw a lesson there? Maybe?
1
@zorrodm Are you serious? In a sense, yes -- as has Israel in Gaza. Both belligerants always do. The BRICS just expanded. I did not expect that to be possible before peace was concluded. And it's not a good thing, either. At first I was shocked. Then I figured out the lay of the land. Have Russian operations in Ukraine been flagged as possible genocide by the ICJ? Mearsheimer; Jeffrey Sachs; Amy Goodman -- and Bernie Sanders -- for that matter. Wake up.
1
@zorrodm Well, they might let you see my reply if you sort under Newest. This is a designated free speech forum, after all. 🤣🤣🤣
1
@zorrodm Yes, visible under Newest tab, not otherwise. That's the new de-emphasis; no one dare call it sense or sheep. 😊

I've never heard a more selective presentation of basic facts, sprinkled with some sort of delusion of entitlement on the part of US/UK to rule the world. WHAT "rehearsal for a second Holocaust?" An astute historian would ask exactly why the terrorist attack was launched in the first place -- and by whom, exactly? (You imagine we know? You imagine that Holocaust comment is analysis?) Do you think Ukraine can win? His analysis of that war is complete nonsense -- but he never says anything that, when proven wrong, could possibly hurt him. That's his paramount skill.

Whatever anyone may say, and quite apart from any ethical considerations, America's reputation is now terrible. No one believes anything that America says, because of Gaza. "Humanitarianism" has been exposed as pure opportunism. This should concern you.

He's bragging. He's on the side of the New Rentier Class. Even Adam Smith didn't fall for that.

@rphilipsgeekery4589 You should know by now that you can get anyONE to agree with anyTHING.

@vintageglee6406 Good luck with that. Not that anyone else will do worse. That much is obvious.

HA

So, everyone is crazied now? HE was polite, she, hysterical?
1
Of course he starts with a slur against those over 60, disguised as a self-deprecating joke. What a truly unattractive man. Now let's go after China. Throw in some more Axis of Evil while you're at it.

Strategist? You think Ukraine can win? His analysis is complete nonsense -- but he never says anything that, when proven wrong, could possibly hurt him.

@zorrodm And you still don't get it, huh? 😂
1
@Boababa-fn3mr Well, he can talk. That's different.
1
@Boababa-fn3mr Good gawd. We have no floor, do we? None whatsoever.
1
@cheeseofultimatedoom You sound like you think geopolitics is a high school lunchroom.
1
EXACTLY. Write a solid critique that lands, and there is no chance it will appear.
1
💯
1
@Boababa-fn3mr You've just zeroed in on the problem: how do we know? Is this always the case, or is it sometimes the channel? People have posted the very same thing on different channels, with different results. Could some of this be random? Random would fuel more engagement; it's a way to make apps "sticky" (i.e., behavioral addiction).
1
@Boababa-fn3mr False. But do keep it up.
1
@Boababa-fn3mr What??? Who said HUMANS were involved in individual decisions? The same algorithm is not operating the same way at all times. You don't know about intermittent reinforcement, do you? 🤣🤣🤣
1
@Boababa-fn3mr That there is a single algorithm and that it never operates randomly.
1
@Boababa-fn3mr Blocked for wasting my time. You literally know nothing. Or, maybe some of my posts are not visible. In_ter mitt__ent re_in_force_ment is not exactly a favored topic, lol.

I've never seen or heard a more repugnant man. He makes Netanyahu look good. At least Netanyahu's motivation and personal concern is comprehensible.

If I were her, I would have walked off the stage. I see Ferguson is part of the New Rudeness. I wouldn't permit anyone to speak to me as if I were a budding juvenile delinquent. I'm not so enthralled with 💰.
1
@alexlazar4738 Exactly. I simply do not understand how these haters prosper in the Anglosphere in particular. It's really a mystery. That culture has spawned some bizarre and repugnant people and movements, as well as an excess of hysterias and moral panics.
1
@myal7532 Ferguson begins by assuming that US/UK have some sort of divine right to dominate the world, when they've made an ugly mess of it. If you don't realize that his supposed analysis of the current war on Gaza is based on fake facts and emotionalism ("rehearsal for a second Holocaust"), for example, then perhaps you don't have much perspicuity. To talk about China having crippling debt is flat-out funny. Re: University of Austin . . . Bari Weiss made her career on cancelation and is not particularly competent. Utter hypocrisy. In the meantime, we shall not mention the name Julian Assange.
