  33. Let's be real no matter which side you lean on the reality is the power vacuum is something that's going to be filled in by corrupt people who will carry out unethical practices which people will consider controversial, the way i see it power ( resources, culture and various other things) in both systems is distributed differently like with capitalism everyone will be equal and have a chance to be at the top but the seats for those positions are limited i.e resources and the majority are left with average if not lower sources, and with communism which i seen is the government i.e the people running the state will have more power than the capitalists but the remaining power will be equally distributed among the people i.e a large number of middle classes, it's all about how each person wishes the system for in a short or a long term whether they would like to have the same wealth but remain stagnant in the case you would not gain a better product than what you have i.e with communism or with capitalism where they have to take risks to either end up in the top enjoying lavish lifestyles gain top quality products or risk being poor if you end up with debts , whatever the system the rich will always be at the top and this reality is something that people can't seem to understand, they somehow think that one system will allow people to eat the rich but obviously it's not the case, the least we can do if either of these systems are applied is for people to steer the rich towards a good direction which benefits everyone

  69.  @akap_987  you know its never been about what systems countries adopt whether it's capitalism or communism, it just happens that under capitalism those entities which seek to exploit other countries and their resources can attain transparency under the name of free market as they are under the claim of being a separate entity unlike being owned by state, countries can be able to sustain themselves regardless of what system they use to govern themselves, hell even dictatorship if done successfully can help a country and its people progress, yet what's problematic in modern times is that countries adopt a monotonous system like the west which the west had made sure to engineer the system as to serve their interests, hell the biggest corporations in the west even if they claim themselves to work under free market are really state owned or more like these corps own the governments of the west, either way the west and their corporations work together for the interests of the western Empire unlike foreign countries where that autonomy is essentially impossible or some countries have already taken steps and even some countries have already done it but still are in leverage from the west which can just decide to sanction countries if they deviate away from western interests, it's never been about what ideologies countries adopt and is more about countries fighting for power and using soft power tactics as to introduce people into concepts like propaganda as to brainwash the people of those countries as to serve their interests instead of the people

  98.  @junjunsnow1139  the way i see it any system will have people at the top even communism and even if people think that they will get replaced the power they held at that time does cause enough damages if say some rogue elements pop up, i mean in any system there has to be someone who would have to be leading the cultural and social economic ideas that people share, it was the basis for any system even kings have to lead their people at some point or say kings who will be replaced i.e a tenure, let's just say we bring the change yet we do have to choose people who will speak for us in this case the second thought channel which is implementing these ideas, i mean he talks about being against western interests yet he's also against Russia or China for their systems which he claims to be capitalist which makes it hard to take him seriously especially when China and Russia companies are state owned and they usually have nationalized their resources and adopted a hybridized system based on communism and capitalism i believe, communism does create more middle classes yet does not allow people to progress into upper classes as those people running the system well would want to preserve their status, overall there should be a proper scientific and research based understanding without any bias from sources for systems like these to be implemented properly, the west has been basing it's system to be at the top and even if it was communist it still would cause wars and prevent any competitors from gaining equal position or surpass the US, i feel that system implementation in current times is secondary especially when countries are having this cold war which they will use these ideologies to create wars and admittedly the USSR did play a part in, the reality is any system with power will do anything to preserve it even if it's equally distributed among the people, i mean there comes a point where people will run out of resources too and who do you think they will go after then, overall my basis is the west should stop interference in foreign countries affairs for good and leave nations to sustain for themselves as they rather not be controlled by another nation like with the British Empire, systems like capitalism or communism or any other systems needs to be well researched and learnt about (in case of communism how long can a elected leader can enjoy material wealth or continue that position as they will have to be replaced and wealth redistributed) instead of just accepting it recklessly as i believe any system even communism implemented without proper understanding does lead to chaos, as like with a riot which goes around there will be people looking for malicious intent too in that chaos trying to take advantage off people as much as possible

  99.  @junjunsnow1139    that first statement which you claimed about power shifts i feel is a huge issue, i mean people like Biden only have been in the office for less than a year and look at the damages he's done, i believe people who are incompetent towards the people of a nation should never get any tenures and the way that the US Empire system works is basically a trial and error system where people will choose their leaders who manipulate them with promises and do the opposite and in all that time cause chaos and exploitation as much as possible, i do agree on the power shifts but really in the wrong hands especially corporatists it's only chaotic and many are powerless towards this no matter what system they implement, i mean these people who are powerful carry out all kinds of dirty tricks and manipulation and some even have understood the behavioural patterns of people accurately, if I'm honest it will really be a naive thinking such a system will not face any form of corruption especially when good people will slip up at some point and those cracks are something that people in power will take advantage off especially in this world where people themselves are selfish and self centred instead of maybe thinking about everyones well being, i didn't mean that a person should always stay in power for long, but the fact that the wrong side will gain ground is the issue here, i mean it's a cycle of good fighting the bad and this cycle is something that would be chaotic i say, i mean like you said we could either pray the leader does not turn out to be a scumbag and this trial and error process which the US government has continued is only causing more chaos while the real people in power are running the show as to benefit themselves in the end, i mean people in history overall have learnt to be in suffering and will accept anything nowadays like a toxic relationship and this is what I'm seeing with the US Empire, honestly in history suffering is something that will be there and people will make decisions which will be beyond others to change but at least we can try mitigating things as much as possible as people in the end overall do share a common goal as to survive and have better lives and this is something that could be taken advantage off or used for good

  168. ​​ @kindlingking you know there were countries in the past who did successfully even in dictatorships, any country can run itself successfully as long as the people of those respective countries work for their own betterment regardless of whether system they adopt whether it's capitalism, communism, monarchy or dictatorship, the west doesn't want any country to be independent and looking for their own self preservation and rather under the name of "free market" takes control of a country's natural resources and doesn't allow control of its own resources and has foreign companies take control of it as shareholders, really in any system the top will always be present regardless of any law or rule as so is with nature itself where survival of the fittest concept is but unlike animals we humans can decide whether to use all that power for the good of others or for owns selfishness and gains at the expense of many, really it's always been about countries at war and wanting each others natural resources under the name of trust and betraying each other when the time comes which the west already has with full control over its own populace and the people of the countries it has looted and made slave labour off as obviously billions of people would mean working machines who are disposable as needed, times haven't changed really and it's been the king and peasants for a while now but the difference being multiple kings where many would like to keep their position at the top instead of using that position responsibly

  190.  @jeremydevor7004  well you could say the same for the US or UK where Rishi Sunak who wasn't even elected for Prime Minister yet still made PM to run the country, please it's obvious western double standards are applied here, I would be skeptical of China as the great firewall does complicate things there yes but in case of Russia people there are very supportive of Putin especially when Russia is doing everything to prevent US hegemony or any nato proxy to be formed against Russian interests or ruin any trade partners that Russia had like with Syria on a economical standpoint, please it's obvious the US has been warmongering for decades now especially when the US was caught stolen Syrian oil reserves inorder to weaken Syria and pass all that blood oil to the Oligarchs, please your leaders support a nation like Israel which has been committing large numbers of human rights violations, and the large amounts of US military bases which harshly treat the indigenous people of those islands even today, please your definition of dictatorship is warped especially when the people of those nations obviously know the geopolitical game played around, maybe if the US stops meddling in foreign countries affairs and how they should run their country and focus on its own instead of trying to make their own form of definitions and co-operate with other countries then things wouldn't end up like this, times of kingdoms and Empires hasn't changed yet there were peace especially with kings who helped maintain peace yet we get definitions like these
    1
  191.  @jeremydevor7004  i mean hell im sure many of things about countries you mentioned probably must have been from mainstream media alright? So how can you be sure of anything really? It's obvious that westerners will use this as a pretext to justify their actions on the world instead of staying away from other countries affairs altogether which obviously has been the case throughout history, claims of countries having dictatorship yet the country is progressing sounds contradictory especially when people would rather see their country progress and their lives away from poverty which nations have shown significant progress overall, let's just say about the Iran situation where Sharia law has suppressed women, yes it is understandable that it is unethical but it does not mean the west needs to interfere with their policies especially when it's obvious it shown how disastrous it is, the same people i.e Taliban whom the west were supporting in the 70s against Russia now are deemed terrorists for western convenience and justifying the war on terror despite being the west's fault, or invading iraq for the sake of removing a dictatorship like Saddam Hussein yet can't do the same thing with Saudi Arabia which is a dictatorship itself, please the double standards for the definition of dictatorship is warped here, if a country has issues with human rights the people of those nations should be the one to bring that change and not with western interference here especially when it's obvious how much economical harm it will cause to the US if it stops it's wars as it provides the blood oil that you enjoy surely, the people of those nations should be able to eventually understand their needs and what they will find better especially when foreign interference only shows to be a disaster especially with corporate practices involved on peoples resources and the old cultural and socio-economic model they had and which they benefitted from is ruined by western meddling, your definition of dictatorship is based on western media which obviously should not be a source of reason especially when you don't even visit the nations themselves and see the fact itself, I'm in no way supporting any form of suppression but if ideas which are meant to cause economical and social harm to the people are freely allowed then it is a issue too, and if nations have unethical practices continuing doesn't mean western countries should interfere this destroying the countries cultural and socio-economic development, people in modern times have ideas which are positive and some will eventually look to improve peoples lives as it is an innate feeling that will eventually come up especially with human nature

  192.  @jeremydevor7004  dictatorships in Syria China or Russia? Please who are you westerners to judge whether they are dictatorships or not? Let's be real you westerners are obviously diverting attention from the horrors your oligarchs commit and justify invading those nations and claim their resources and military bases installed in their land, please the president of Syria went in the Buckingham palace before and he was already maintaining trade relations with Europe before US intervention ruined any ties with Syria, you claim these nations have authoritarian rulers yet they are progressing and their people have been lifted from poverty than how they were in the past, it's obvious this is just western projection at place instead, if we were honest no nation in this world is incorruptible and has committed some form of atrocities towards other nations yet the fact of the matter is nations are moving away from wars compare that to the US military industrial complex which continues to pump billions into installing military over the world and looting resources from foreign countries like Iraq Syria and various other countries which the people of the US supported and justified bombing civilians for no motive other than using the war on terror rhetoric and expanding their military everywhere, please you westerners can't just use the rhetoric and sugarcoat your oligarchs actions as it's obvious westerners rely on cheaper labour and materials from foreign countries at a cheaper which nations will no longer continue to maintain relations with the west now that they are moving away from them, if you claim these foreign nations are dictatorships well the US has already been maintaining relationships with dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and UAE where slave labour of foreigners living in third world countries were used and still live in shallow places of those nations, that double standards is something that westerners like to use here, the fact of the matter is the US should stay away from foreign countries affairs especially even if the countries affairs are controversial like with Iran which i do agree Sharia law does hamper the progress of that nation in some way doesn't mean the west needs to invade and install it's military on foreign soil especially when the results have only been shown to be chaotic especially when their culture is permanently damaged beyond repair for people to rebuild their governments together, if theres any issues countries have their people are the ones who should fix it and not rely on foreign powers especially when they have shown to be predatory towards the so called nation their are trying to bring democracy towards

  193.  @zhivago6   well ridiculous idea? Please which nation in this world has the largest amount of military bases installed throughout? Please it's obvious NATO is still expanding its military bases and conducting proxy wars throughout the globe and Russia is stuck with foreign nations which have previously had better relations with countries like Ukraine continue to get rid of ethnic Russians population which were left behind after the Soviet Union collapse, Ukraine was directly allowing western western intervention in the 2000s with multiple organisations like NED (national endowment for democracy) and various other pro western organizations around the world, this slow burn from Ukraine which continued to cut relations with Russia in 2014 after it's democratically elected leader was ousted in the maidan coup lead by pro western political parties especially with Victoria Newland playing a huge part and her conversations of Ukraine's elected leader being leaked proves it and relations being strained especially when Syria and other middle Eastern countries which had better ties with Russia as a bridge for Euro-Russian relations which is sabotaged by the US as well the US does not want any superpowers to have equal prominence as itself, this war is something that the US does not want any foreign countries like China or Russia having equal footing as them and you are just talking out of emotions not seeing the slow burn which was there in Ukraine even before this conflict began years ago with Ukraine and Ukraine literally had Neo Nazis like Stephen Bandera in the past who supported Nazi Germany against Russia in WW2 and his followers who are Banderites continue to be a part of the armed forces in Ukraine,you claim Russia carrying out mass murder of civilians yet don't seem to mention anything about the atrocities committed by your own nation in the past and how Ukraine ousted any pro Russian supporters and caused a civil war to the point where pro Russian supporters had separated themselves from Ukraine in the Donbass region, you have been taking sources from western media which obviously will show Ukraine being a victim in this war yet not mentioning anything about Ukraine's Neo Nazis which are still fighting the war and then being right next to Russian borders which clearly doesn't give Russia any room for their military or control over their borders, you claim any wars can be justified by flimsy reasoning yet i ask your same question to you too, China hasn't invaded Phillipines for the same reason they are already having problems with Taiwan especially when the US military is right next to their waters and not mentioning anything about the fact that Phillipines has maintained better relations with China compared to Ukraine which it's government had already started censorship via removing the Russian language in schools and institutions throughout Ukraine and the fact that bombings in Donbass aren't mentioned and Russia's multiple warnings which the US ignored on purpose or westerners not even bothering to see it let alone lecture others about invasion, It's obvious you would use words like critical thinking as if for people to forget the main objectives behind these wars and how they were caused in the first place and this game of geopolitics which westerners constantly try to forget yet are loud and complain about how foreign nations like Russia or China are imperialistic while forgetting about how the west invaded the middle East and in South America and Africa, please it's obvious NATO would not attack Russia as all they will be asking is mutual destruction from nuclear war which we all know how it ends, and now please don't claim these are all Russian propaganda as it is obvious which nation is at the top with its military bases compared that to China or Russia which are cornered in their own borders and get lectured by westerners while hiding their hypocrisy, no nation is waging wars on purpose other than the US and Russia has nothing to gain from this other than lose its trade partners in Europe which EU continued to cut relations with Russia and sabotaging them again like they did with the cold war which you westerners obviously forget as history books will sugarcoat any actions taken by the US Empire, even if you claim Russia is evil doesn't mean the west needs to supply weapons to Ukraine especially to Neo Nazis which in the past have committed various atrocities towards Russian ethnics and Russo-Ukrainians threatening their culture and way of life and instead of negotiations we are seeing more economic sanctions against the people of Russia instead of going after the oligarchs which worsens the lives of people and forcibly drags them to this war, but it's obvious in this game of geopolitics the west could care less especially when they have already done enough damages to the middle East and South America and various other continents yet you westerners never will mention anything about that and not see how your oligarchs continue to sabotage foreign nations and interfere in their affairs for their own agenda

  194.  @jeremydevor7004  wow so you westerners will bring up your media and judge how history of foreign nations is ? Please I'm neither from the US or Russia here and the way i see it the west is the aggressor here expanding its influence everywhere across the globe, i mean how can any foreigner believe anything you westerners say if the history of the west has been living off the poor especially in the 50s where westerners enjoyed all the prestiges as much as they could, you claim me as supporting a lesser evil than a true evil yet it's obvious this is nothing but geopolitics at play, western propaganda has obviously worked with them sugarcoating their actions across the globe and claiming how Russia or China has been the aggressor and now you westerners come claiming as if foreigners are programmed ? Please maybe stop that bias as all you are doing is fueling the fires of war which your oligarchs had created and still can't leave foreign nations alone, the fact of the matter is Russia is sanctioned by the US and it's people are suffering due to the sanctions and here you come claiming how Russia is evil and instead of setting aside differences and negotiate for once you westerners will still keep that animosity towards Russia and it's progress, let's be real the west has been living off the spoils of war for too long and it's time it's people and oligarchs ruling them come crashing down if they continue to be antagonistic towards foreign nations, this lesser evil crap is overdone and people would rather set aside differences instead of continuing to call each other evil as it's obvious everyones hands is stained with blood, but i guess you westerners obviously don't want to let go and still "support" Ukraine despite the obvious facts, this cold war which continues from the old century mentalist ideals that you westerners can't let go off and other countries forced to take drastic actions to defend their own territory just shows the exceptionalism that westerners have and this will only be their downfall for good, you claim im a monster yet can't even look at the oligarchs you support, and the fact that you are complicit in fueling this war just like everyone in this war, love how these facts still doesn't change the fact that the west still has its military across the globe and i bet you would still come up with some justification like you westerners always did with 9/11 but I guess being disingenuous does work especially with western propaganda at display, love how you claim that people need to be deprogrammed as if they can't see through the reality of the situation, but i guess it does seem convenient, the fact that you bring up western sources to back up anything you westerners say just looses any trust people would have as it's obvious western propaganda has been built upon the foundations of lie and deceit towards the people, even if these countries have propoganda as you claim declaring them as enemies does nothing but ruin the lives of the people who want nothing from this war, whichever war crimes committed by people will come up eventually and be noticed in history as is the nature of war but instead of ending it for good and setting aside differences for our future generations to survive, the west would rather plunge itself deep into chaos out of conserving its own Empire at the expense of its own citizens

  208.  @weatheranddarkness    the western Empire isn't the world police westerner that they can go invade others lands cause they can, Cuba isn't even nearly as close as Ukraine and again Russia had Turkey near their proximity to face nuclear threats so no colonizer stop justifying and acting like we foreigners haven't forgotten your colonialist history and propaganda as to delude us into taking your oligarchs sides Literally you westerners are hypocrites here acting like your oligarchs didn't influence Ukraine and turn it into their puppet state, spare us foreigners your falsehoods colonizer as it's obvious Ukraine had their people already westernized by various political figures like Victoria Newland who btw were directly on Ukrainian lands influencing their people against Russia, regardless of what happened the west's influences are surely no lie and we foreigners surely do know as most of the world is westernized for your westerners to come enjoy our slave labour products and services in a cheaper value don't delude us into believing that this is the cold war again and we need to take the sides of your colonial oligarchs, we would rather take no sides and call out western hypocrisy and kick out western influences and our people who are westernized as puppets for your oligarchs than support your colonial oligarchs again, and yes hypocrite westerner Ukraine does have Nazis like the Germans had (another colonizer) and Russia although are colonialists themselves at least have a good reason to stop western influences from invading their lands again as they would stop their neighbours from being westernized again and turning Ukraine against them "Fascist administration of Putin" 😂, please as if we foreigners don't see westerners as colonizers too, your people are worse than anything Putin has done, remember Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti, Guatemala Armenia, Cuba, Libya and various other countries in the list westerner? Or maybe you will feed us nonsensical western rhetorics as to have us believe your oligarchs were "saving" them, don't delude us into that cold war nonsense colonizer, the idea that Russia has some problems with racists isn't laughable colonizer, your people seem to forget how they treated migrants whom your oligarchs invaded their lands from,you forgot or it's just hypocrisy? Finland, France, Denmark all these European countries are just colonialist nations for us foreigners obviously and we obviously know colonizers never learnt from their ancestors atrocities and carry on their legacy as colonialists, Finland and it's people are just dooming themselves and their future generations into another war cause their oligarchs can't stop being colonizers and continue their legacy as colonialists again never learning from their past we don't give a crap about western rhetorics like right wing, left wing and other nonsensical rhetorics that western colonizers used in the cold war as to potray themselves as heroes of the world, this isn't the cold war westerner so don't delude us foreigners Russia surely is a colonialist nation like your country westerner,we foreigners just view both of your sides as colonizers who invade others lands cause your oligarchs have the power to do so and steal their resources and lands from us foreigners, Israel is another colonialist nation so we foreigners don't even bother defending them let alone the Palestinians who themselves are paid by your western colonizers to go cause conflict cause western colonizers need their billions from the arms industry which you westerners hypocritically enjoy from, "specious", "fundamental", "disingenuous" all typical western rhetorics used to sound smart cause colonizers obviously will act all mighty and use such words cause they are the "saviors of the world" Russia invading other countries surely doesn't solve anything but fight back against western colonialism which Russians are surely doing for their country, for us foreigners we would rather prefer countries like Ukraine never have gotten involved with your westerners in the first place let alone allow their lands for your oligarchs who obviously took all the advantages they have especially the oil and gas reserves in Ukraine which western colonizers obviously will exploit selling it at a cheaper value for you westerners to hypocritically enjoy the slave labour and blood oil from Ukrainians, Russia surely is colonialist but western Empire is much worse, Ukraine should have never even abandoned their nuclear capabilities but that would have also meant your westerners would have invaded their lands culturally and westernized their people like your oligarchs did with our countries, colonizers especially superpowers who are influenced by western ideals are surely causing all the troubles for your oligarchs to be the "saviors ", while we foreigners obviously know who's the culprits here, we would rather rid of all foreign colonizers especially westerners and their influences kicking out anyone who abides by western ideals

  209.  @weatheranddarkness  the western Empire isn't the world police westerner that they can go invade others lands cause they can, Cuba isn't even nearly as close as Ukraine and again Russia had Turkey near their proximity to face nuclear threats so no colonizer stop justifying and acting like we foreigners haven't forgotten your colonialist history and propaganda as to delude us into taking your oligarchs sides Literally you westerners are hypocrites here acting like your oligarchs didn't influence Ukraine and turn it into their puppet state, spare us foreigners your falsehoods colonizer as it's obvious Ukraine had their people already westernized by various political figures like Victoria Newland who btw were directly on Ukrainian lands influencing their people against Russia, regardless of what happened the west's influences are surely no lie and we foreigners surely do know as most of the world is westernized for your westerners to come enjoy our slave labour products and services in a cheaper value don't delude us into believing that this is the cold war again and we need to take the sides of your colonial oligarchs, we would rather take no sides and call out western hypocrisy and kick out western influences and our people who are westernized as puppets for your oligarchs than support your colonial oligarchs again, and yes hypocrite westerner Ukraine does have Nazis like the Germans had (another colonizer) and Russia although are colonialists themselves at least have a good reason to stop western influences from invading their lands again as they would stop their neighbours from being westernized again and turning Ukraine against them "Fascist administration of Putin" 😂, please as if we foreigners don't see westerners as colonizers too, your people are worse than anything Putin has done, remember Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti, Guatemala Armenia, Cuba, Libya and various other countries in the list westerner? Or maybe you will feed us nonsensical western rhetorics as to have us believe your oligarchs were "saving" them, don't delude us into that cold war nonsense colonizer, the idea that Russia has some problems with racists isn't laughable colonizer, your people seem to forget how they treated migrants whom your oligarchs invaded their lands from,you forgot or it's just hypocrisy? Finland, France, Denmark all these European countries are just colonialist nations for us foreigners obviously and we obviously know colonizers never learnt from their ancestors atrocities and carry on their legacy as colonialists, Finland and it's people are just dooming themselves and their future generations into another war cause their oligarchs can't stop being colonizers and continue their legacy as colonialists again never learning from their past we don't give a crap about western rhetorics like right wing, left wing and other nonsensical rhetorics that western colonizers used in the cold war as to potray themselves as heroes of the world, this isn't the cold war westerner so don't delude us foreigners Russia surely is a colonialist nation like your country westerner,we foreigners just view both of your sides as colonizers who invade others lands cause your oligarchs have the power to do so and steal their resources and lands from us foreigners, Israel is another colonialist nation so we foreigners don't even bother defending them let alone the Palestinians who themselves are paid by your western colonizers to go cause conflict cause western colonizers need their billions from the arms industry which you westerners hypocritically enjoy from, "specious", "fundamental", "disingenuous" all typical western rhetorics used to sound smart cause colonizers obviously will act all mighty and use such words cause they are the "saviors of the world" Russia invading other countries surely doesn't solve anything but fight back against western colonialism which Russians are surely doing for their country, for us foreigners we would rather prefer countries like Ukraine never have gotten involved with your westerners in the first place let alone allow their lands for your oligarchs who obviously took all the advantages they have especially the oil and gas reserves in Ukraine which western colonizers obviously will exploit selling it at a cheaper value for you westerners to hypocritically enjoy the slave labour and blood oil from Ukrainians, Russia surely is colonialist but western Empire is much worse, Ukraine should have never even abandoned their nuclear capabilities but that would have also meant your westerners would have invaded their lands culturally and westernized their people like your oligarchs did with our countries

  234.  @TheShadowgift  well that's the issue, the critical race theory stems from this fear of foreign countries which in the past had lived lavishly with the blood oil and cheap labour from foreign nations and now foreign countries will probably not be too kind with them especially when they know they aren't just going to allow them freely, so the fear is understandable yet the other factors i believe is nonsense as despite all the concepts US still has majority of white Americans and black or Latino or Asian populations being a few less than 15 or 10 % , but the position of minorities have surely gained higher success especially with neoliberal ideas being used as a pretext for minority communities to gain higher position than the majority and this fear is something that is half true but still better research needs to be done, whatever the case the fear comes from how culture influences treat the minority as higher sometimes especially with those voices being loud and even being condescending towards white people sometimes and this is something that does affect the mindset of those conservatives and they develop this sense of hatred towards the minority just because a few voices are loud and ironically many of the people leading these voices are white people themselves like Joe Biden this is a issue which needs a cultural change instead of just having a war against both sides, and the elite are using identity politics as a pretext to create conflicts among people to distract them from the real problems of society and the culture surrounding them overall

  255.  @xuto2693  well the reality is the fact that the capitalist system only benefited the few and the so called positives that people had from capitalism were from at the expense of other countries which were suffering from imperialism and former colonialism i.e the people in the US and European countries used globalisation as a way for their companies to be placed on foreign nations where they will have their monopoly over the natural resources of those nations and if those nations fight back in this case the global south you get the cartel and right wing puppets from those respective countries who basically loot their own country and its people and live in the west, westerners have lived their lives thinking their system is perfect and works yet never questioned how they get resources in the first place and how much do they get and whether there's a limit to how much they can earn, you get these multi-billion dollar oligarchs which some of them ironically were ordinary people who sometimes don't even know how to spend their money when they grew old or if their offsprings and future generations even managed that wealth or blew it all up on materialistic pleasure, there's also the fact that western culture overall does not look on a scientific understanding and basis for what's right and doesn't seek to improve its culture, look at those auctions and how people buy up things which are extremely expensive but have no actual value to its use and only is present as to showcase their egos something that even we ordinary people have at some point like owning something which has no materialistic value but only is expensive in name sake and some people held onto it as to even risk their own assets financially and social relations being ruined due to debts or other things, it's this reckless spending on things and demand which we continually ask for which we do not have any proper understanding of whether it's required or not or even in modern culture the fact that we only selectively think about one thing while not bothering with the other or finding any relations to how the issue could b solved is why those who are privileged aren't taught to be humble and have a proper understanding of whats is required and what isn't, we should first look to improve ourselves first instead of improving the system which is an innate fault of our own way of life, any country can work under a system correctly if they are provided with enough ample resources, manpower and time to understand implementation and remaining skeptical, but modern times have demanded the need of a few benefits the many which is itself inherently flawed as the many will fight back and they are surely doing, even from a corporatist standpoint the practitioner would not think to cause conflict on its own consumer base, and capitalism also encourages unethical practices on putting a price tag on things even on people like with the healthcare system which is notorious on this one, capitalism is a system which is designed for the needs of the people in the sense of their materialistic needs and pleasure and not like from a survivalistic needs i.e to stay alive, under a capitalist system you could own anything as long as you got enough money but also the reality is many people buy things which on the long run do not benefit i.e owning a sports car not considering the maintenance and demand to buy newer version which also planned obsolescence comes into play i.e reducing the products functionality which if done without obsolescence would have been miles better than just distributing nerfed versions of the product, it's also noted that compared to capitalism which has the resources distribution in the hands of the people who have the potential to become an oligarch and not have affiliations to the state, communism has the wealth distribution under a single company i.e the state which eliminates other people who try to gain power which could be seen as a good thing depending upon subjectivity i.e whether other people can have a monopoly over the rest or everyone to be under the same monopoly under the state which people or other oligarchs are at the complete mercy of the state, the issue is the fact that people rather prefer having an opportunity to have a monopoly over others or remain independent i.e stay rich and not be touched by the state, people got to look from a individualistic perspective and in this case a person who seeks to be rich could have the potential to help or ruin other peoples lives, same thing with the state which the people running it can decide whether to help their people or hoard all that wealth for themselves, the reality is that if you take into account all the people in this world i.e nearly 8 billion it would not be enough for all the people in the world to have the same average life i.e middle class and some will have to fall under poverty for the others to survive especially when you take into account how we use resources and what we use it for and also the fact that many will want to live the same lavish lifestyle as others, the issue is the fact that we in modern times are still scientifically deprived and could have achieved much more if the imperialistic in the past decided to actually set aside their differences and actually look to help develop poor nations scientifically and technologically instead of having this disparity where the poor breed like rats understandably to survive,the reality is that conflicts make money as the balance of power and control that people have off their resources gets shifted and in that orderly chaos oligarchs find the opportunity to slowly surplus all that wealth, capitalism also has ties with western culture overall and how they live their lives and many of our lifestyles still haven't changed from the way we lived half a decade, yes technology is developed but still the overall lifestyle is largely the same and this stagnancy is only killing the west and also dragging the rest of the world and the same system which never was revised or even thought of adding some socialist elements which would benefit the people and in turn them is never implemented, it is obvious that in any system we people will have leader whom we choose to oversee as people can't be like the wild west i.e every person on their own and the people are at the mercy of their leaders whether they choose to do good or bad and benefit themselves

  256.  @hahayousuckismful  well humans are mostly shit because humans dont have a proper understanding of what benefits them on the long term, the materialistic needs of people are something that will be there and this idea of utopia is something that is only selling people lies, we have to learn to live in that cycle of good and bad and have that balance where we manage sustenance, i mean we all will have our ups and downs and really the best we can do is stick together when it comes to survival, i mean in a starving situation you could choose to either eat the person next to you or work together for a solution and not all scenarios will play out well but at least that element of being optimistic is something that should help us keep going instead of just giving up which is what many in modern times are doing especially the youth, proper understanding needs to be done to change things and also acceptance of others beliefs too, others beliefs even if bad takes time to change just like anything in this world and people are too reckless wanting things as soon as possible which is only causing worse situations, exploitation under anything is something that is going to be where like all things in life and you could choose to stop it or learn from it to prevent it, we have rather chosen to lie to ourselves and not understand the rest of the world and create this image of utopia which has been fed to us since birth and really it does nothing but leave people vulnerable to people who seek malice instead of seeking honesty, the least we can do is be skeptical and look for betterment and have a proper understanding and thinking process which in history throughout we lacked and help others to understand even the rich to use their resources for betterment for the long term

  269.  @professorcheckmate  well that's where the issue of your opinion has been around, the fact that you claim one system is bad while the other is lesser bad is just biased sorry, socialism hasn't worked in a country due to the fact that any country implementing such systems will lead to chaos not due to them being failures and more about the fact that people just can't see a successful system being applied, your making this all about being anti socialistic despite the fact i never even mentioning anything about socialism being bad, my point is that both systems needs to be understood and instead of just considering socialism as bad and not implementing any system at all maybe try to understand why people think socialism has benefits which weren't explored enough due to the fact that countries following such systems were often sanctioned by the west which directly pose a challenge to its capitalist ideas, I'm sorry but I'm not going to remain biased here and like with any system that requires criticisms doesn't mean they should be just taken in as a failure, especially when these systems were never applied on a country which has the sufficient economic wealth and technologically developed like the US was, Soviet Union failed in this due to the amounts of corruption that ensued which directly challenged the oligarchy system that it had in the past i.e the Tsarists who still had some wealth and contacts with Europe in the late 18th century, i seen enough criticisms about socialism which doesn't explain the flaws of it properly and all i get answers are they failed despite the fact that countries like Cuba were already considered a terrorist nation by the US even before communism was introduced there, the cold war was just the west using communism as a pretext to carry out and gain hegemony over the global market and they have been successful and all i see are comments like yours which doesn't offer any basis without western bias, there are already new hybridized system which is applied in Russia with its state resources being nationalized unlike the US which doesn't allow any government control and left entirely on private companies which make billions off fracking and various other unethical practices, you do make a point of how a socialist system is very vulnerable to corruption and it is obvious why as the wealth distribution isn't something that corporatists would prefer to be equally distributed, please don't confuse me with being capitalist as it has done enough damages already with various countries like South Korea with corporatists fueling the debt crisis among the youths or the countries from Global South and Africa in the past which had been run by private oil corporations like Shell or Exxon which had subsidized the oil from these nations leaving the government of those nations with almost lower resources for people to sustain, socialist countries like the Soviet Union were doomed from the start especially with leaders who recklessly carried on those ideals on sectors which were used to monarchy based understanding like Britain was in the past and also with the fact that there was a massive cold war which the west wanted to prevent any form of labour unions which actually looked to get rid of concentration of power into a few hands with all these factors the USSR was bound to fail, ironically the west in the 50s had better lifestyles which obviously was from the spoils of war created on foreign countries after the aftermath left by the British Empire and even if the systems were capitalist still allowed people sufficient resources as the wealth supply was significantly larger from cheap labour from foreign countries, and those times are now gone especially with the Empire not having enough monopoly now that foreign countries have nationalised their resources, modern times are more based on hybridized systems which take in different aspects of each system and no matter which system is applied any system even capitalism or communism will be bound to fail if they do not have enough connections with the rest of the world in terms of technology or resources and now those failures are used as a pretext for people to base a system as a failure instead of seeing which aspects of those systems would work for the people

  338. ​​ @Hunterchuck really the problem with socialists from what I read from others is that they would want every country to conform to their systems instead of countries having their autonomy on what systems they would like to implement for their states For us foreigners we really don't bother about it as we believe each country should have their autonomy on what systems they would like to implement, but what's problematic is that countries and their people use these rhetorics of ideologies as to conform other countries to adopt their systems and calling those countries which have their autonomy as facists or other extremist terms, for us foreigners why does it matter which systems are implemented as long as it serves the interests of every person on those countries, any system whether capitalist socialist or monarchy, communist is capable of being harmful to the peoples interests if those people running it look for their selfish interests instead of the people, there are even kings who have been successful in running their kingdom for the sake of every people in those lands For us foreigners it has never been about what systems countries should apply as we only see it as a rhetoric for other superpowers to interfere in other countries politics and their culture ideals and many other things For us foreigners it's never been about what ideologies countries follow and its always been about colonialist countries being in war against each other for power on us smaller countries which are caught in the middle and forced to choose sides under the name of ideologies which is exactly what cold war has been about, the colonial west fighting off against another colonial superpower and using ideologies as a rhetoric to get close to smaller countries and invade their lands under the name of "altruistic" ideals Smaller countries would rather isolate themselves from the rest of the world and be free to choose whatever systems they would like to implement as long as it benefits every people of those countries and never allow selfish corrupt leaders into their systems

  339.  @Hunterchuck well like i say it again the perspective which you westerners have is exactly that, a western perspective, we foreigners dont believe in taking away the freedom of how other countries want to implement their systems, instead of those people slaving away for those excess luxury why not take back from the west and how much they have stolen from them in the first place countries have every reason to be anti western and they would want their stolen reserves back, unlike others i dont think implementing communism or any other system if done properly is a negative thing and same goes with any system whether it be capitalism or dictatorship as long as they serve the interests of every people without discrimination or at the expense of other countries people if they want to choose their leaders can be satisfied if their leaders put the peoples interests before them and use their powers responsibly which should be the main common factor regardless of any system implemented as the people and their leaders should look for overall betterment while curbing any corrupt selfish leaders or factions wanting to exploit the people of those countries what capitalism is seen by westerners is the concept of open global market too which we foreigners are against as we have seen what trusting other foreign corporations has done to out country, our affairs would rather be domestic and benefitting our country and our peoples interests than ever rely on the "free market" owned by the west or any other superpowers looking to colonize our resources, countries would rather cut off from the global market and only choose whom they want to trade with with the conditions benefitting both parties and no third parties involvement as that would mean making it void, a controlled trade market by those countries instead of the one owned by the west and the west and other superpowers which owes those countries all they stole from their colonial times westerners shouldnt lecture other countries about how they should run their affairs as their country is a colonial power which for us foreigners has obviously harmed our economy greatly and never once will countries look to join the wests open market again as we obviously know its falsehoods at best

  349.  @joshkarpatkin2642  well notice why many of the communist countries were directly against western interests? Wonder why so maybe the intent of cold war was just a battle between two superpowers and not the so called rhetoric of capitalism vs communism, hell even though capitalist countries claim themselves to be democratic they still work with countries like Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Israel which have monarchy or dictatorships and have committed mass human rights abuses? But i guess as long as it allies with western interests it's fine right? Many countries which were communists didn't even get to participate in the global market which directly correlates with economic growth of a country and the fact that US still sanctions foreign nations which practice communism shows how resources play a huge factor in any system and now the excuse of the system itself being a failure is used by westerners to justify capitalism, please these so called records are western countries sabotaging foreign nations and installing military operations throughout the enemy nations like Cuba or Russia where they chose to nationalize their resources instead of bending to US interests just shows the so called democratic values of the US Empire, the fact that the west already had a monopoly over the world with its imperialistic ways of the past and the US Empire taking over the remnants of the British Empire and building itself to leverage over foreign nations trying to gain trade relations with sanctioned nations which practice communism just shows how ideology politics is used as a pretext for the US Empire to justify claiming capitalism is better despite the fact that capitalist nations like South Korea with its people on massive debts due to the capitalist system that allowed loan sharks around, India with its corporate mafia or Venezuela which chose a capitalist system and sold all of its oil subsidiaries to foreign companies like Shell or ExxonMobil just shows how monopolistic such a system is which favors US companies more than domestic systems, please you westerners obviously live off blood oil from Syria and Iraq Afghanistan which you westerners invaded under the pretext of terrorism and ruined many countries in the global south and mexico with the war on drugs which was facilitated by the US especially with Honduras, and now you come with history which is written by your western oligarchs and claim that such a system is a failure? When the system didn't even apply properly and countries doing so had been sanctioned if they don't want to remain as a puppet for the US Empire? Please you westerners talk about people fleeing from a communist country to capitalist yet your oligarchs continue to sabotage those nations and then you westerners come claiming how those nations government is at fault and you rambling tasteless memes about topics you barely know off and are hypocritical in your claims, im sure you westerners only act pro immigration if they follow your western culture and sing your star sprangled nonsense which you westerners feed to yourselves while you rely on cheap labour and blood oil from foreign nations

  370.  @juliankraus1011   1. Alright we will talk about the 80s Afghanistan war which the west interfered in 2.well it does look like you are defending western intervention especially when talking about how just because Russia invaded Afghanistan so the west is the world police and has intervened in return 3.well you talk as if it was the only way it would have happened despite the fact that the west really didn't need to intervene in these conflicts, so maybe not sugarcoat it please 4.you talk as if the west didn't have anything to do with the conflict beforehand and that the west never had any contacts with the Mujahideen as to justify the Soviet invasion, either way regardless of historical "facts" it is obvious for us foreigners that the west and the Soviets were surely involved in the political disputes in Afghanistan even before the Soviet invasion, otherwise your painting this picture of the Soviets being the villians who invaded a foreign country and the west had no hand in Afghanistan's internal affairs which we know those "facts" would never be disclosed as we already know in the past how the west has toppled governments and installed client regimes by backing the opposition party in a country's political affairs which still this practice continues in Haiti and other countries in the global South 5. Please we know it's all a lie especially when western forces were covertly involved in these conflicts and the same with the Soviets which these superpowers obviously will withhold information about it, please don't try to convince us foreigners about "facts" which already has been proven throughout history to be false, it has been documented the west from time to time intervened in global politics for its own interests (like replacing Guantemala's president with a fascist regime or US backed coup in Bolivia and many other regions across the world, even in Ukraine where the current president Zelensky has shown to have multiple shares in Wall Street and had western democrats like Victoria Newland directly backing the opposition party Zelensky worked under or say the wests successful coup in Haiti and the endless list goes on) as to secure as many countries under its faction and with NATO expansion of every country which seemingly "choose" to join western powers it is obvious for us who's the enemy here, so this claim of the only foreign troops being the Mujahideen who were obviously backed by covert western factions and mercenary groups which the west hires like Blackwater which got involved in Iraq so it's not safe to assume the west would obviously use such methods as to ascertain the Mujahideens victory, so please don't just pretend we foreigners don't know anything about this wars history especially when the history told by you and the western Empire you defend is obviously false all written by victors of a war 6. You call me building up a strawman yet you come here bringing western "facts" which are obviously warped as to convince others how right the west was at that time, we all know by this point what the west and it's oligarchs are committing themselves to and it's high time the west and other factions like Russia and China never will continue to interfere in global politics as countries have already taken strict measures to avoid foreign meddling like how it happened in the past, but hey i guess your western counterparts will find a way to destabilize other smaller nations, Ukraine was surely successful as it was already doomed since the western intervention in the dissolution of the USSR, the west and all these other factions are surely involving other countries who would rather isolate themselves away from their senseless wars and putting this narrative as there being only one enemy seems very convenient for the west obviously i even wonder whether you are even from the global South my friend cause it surely doesn't look like an average citizen from any of the countries of the global South would agree with foreign interference in their countries in the first place especially since the Spanish or Portuguese invaded their countries

  372.  @juliankraus1011  lol what? All i did was put forth legitimate arguments which idk whether you don't seem to understand or rather pretending not to and your pretending to accept victory yet you never even answered the basic question i asked in the first place, i ask you again Why did the west feel the need to play world police with other countries and interfere in Afghanistan and its internal affairs prior to the invasion ( please dont claim the west had never any hand in this as it's obvious knowing how the western tactics which they implemented in the past) ? Don't justify it claiming because of the Soviets which in that case the west shouldn't get involved and rather an international effort which isn't run by the west or any other nations in affiliation with the west should be involved in resolving the conflict and making peace negotiations with the Soviets instead of a proxy war which the west feels it has every right to interfere and play world police I ask you westerners again, why does the west feel the need to interfere in countries thousands of miles away from its own country? But i guess you people would love to claim us as putting up a strawman argument yet we are sticking to the point and are straightforward with this the west had no justification putting its troops or involving itself in a civil war or maybe we foreigners do understand many of these conflicts or invasions are perpetuated by the west for them to get involved regardless of what consequences the country involved may suffer, the west should have never even had any influence near Afghanistan as its a foreign territory belonging to the Afghanistan government, same thing with the Soviets who i will criticize for the same thing, both superpowers had no reason to interfere with foreign countries and play world police here yet here you are trying to defend the west so badly and trying to pretend the west had no influence in Afghanistan prior to Soviets invading Afghanistan as if they are the villians the west need to get rid off but for us foreigners it's obvious knowing western soft power tactics of influencing foreign countries internal affairs and staging coups in those countries, each superpowers are doing the same thing the west is doing yet you people try to put this narrative of the west being less evil yet for us it's obvious for us

  375. Well here's the problem, the west tries to implement these rhetorics of other countries being bad while sugarcoating their actions while you get these channels which don't seek to stop the western Empire and other superpowers and it only uses these rhetorics of other countries bad as a way to control their country via implementing other systems to circulate the power they already have, no country has been without committing atrocities on their people or other nations and claiming one country is better than the other does no favors other than sympathize with oligarchs who are in power in their country which your living in the point is to understand that these channels use the emotions of people who believe in ideologies and what systems countries should implement as a way to get those people in support for them and make them rich For us foreigners it really doesn't matter what systems countries should implement whether it be capitalism communism monarchy or dictatorship, as long as they serve the interests of every people in their country and I do mean every community and people and not discriminate against others, what these channels want to do is keep people away from the bigger picture and the fact that they use these rhetorics as a way for the colonial powers to gain more powers via smaller countries who are made to choose sides between what systems they like to implement on their country, it's never been around ideologies or beliefs and only been about colonialist countries wanting powers and being in war while smaller countries are in the middle and take the risks of being in control by corrupt leaders or even if they do end up in the right hands are invaded by the west or other superpowers which don't want a country to look for their self preservation and betterment

  377.  @costinhalaicu2746   well I may try to take some steps to avoid that but it would surely be flawed in many and it may be doubtful for even newer countries which may be doomed but it would be worth a try or maybe not 1. Smaller countries would have to cut themselves off from the west completely and look to sustain themselves economically via nationalizing their resources instead of relying on the world trade or the open market (which we know would be devastating for the people in the small country but honestly I would see no option to guarantee freedom), about the knowledge of nuclear weapons countries like Iran had already taken steps to ensure they would have had maintained relations with other fellow superpowers so smaller countries could try something similar and may try to gain knowledge of nuclear power via third parties ( I know the steps which will be required will be hard if not impossible but smaller countries in the past had managed to gain access to nuclear technology before like Iran from the Soviets so it may be worth a shot for countries to try something similar with China but even that's doubtful as China would obviously want something in return and probably would be even worse dealing with them than the west ), about military intervention like I said so the above steps must be taken as soon as possible or in the past should have taken steps so if your like a new country which wants to stave off western hegemony then ur kinda doomed as really you could do nothing about countries which are hellbent on making your resources free for everyone, really Ukraine in the past actually could have been free by not giving up any nuclear weaponry they possessed from the Soviets, that way they could have actually ensured no invasion whether from the west or the Soviets could have taken place I do agree the steps here would be flawed and if not impossible to pull off but if done so then countries could have guaranteed their own self preservation 2. Second part really I can't refute other than trying to cut off your country from the rest of the world but we already seen from North Korea as an example of how devastating that could be and the irony is that a country like North Korea is run by corrupt leaders with selfish interests who only put their own people under the bus as the rich would rather enjoy with the remaining wealth with what they have than ever provide for their own people, so there really wouldn't be any feasible solutions for this for sure unless your nation would have to end up giving something else in return for power and in fact may be worse dealing with countries which wouldn't be as "kind" as the west, not to mention the west really has their eyes and influences everywhere across the globe and your point about corruption is also true enough that even an attempt of wanting to gain access to nukes would be quickly shut down by the west as justification of terrorism not to mention their propaganda which works really well towards westerners who will believe everything anyway as long as they get fed enough, the west really engineered plans to avoid countries from being self sufficient enough with the steps you mentioned about corruption or foreign interference all these factors can lead countries trying to hey away from foreign hegemony into destabilization Final point I do agree with many of the statements as the west has just too much power and influence for them to ever allow other self sufficient countries to be free from influences or doing better than their people, especially when it's not just the west and other countries are also wanting the same thing to not allow any other nations being prosperous, a bunch of power hungry maniacs running these superpower nations who wouldn't even allow other countries to have their own autonomy or self sufficiency for their peoples sake and won't even improve their own country as they rather would want no country to have control of their own resources, maybe countries could have taken steps to avoid western hegemony and other foreign forces especially in the 50-60s where they could have had the time gap to gain access to nukes but that time is gone sadly with the UN i.e US Nations using the fear of nukes and basically getting rid of any form of resistance countries could have shown against foreign invaders

  378.  @costinhalaicu2746  the final verdict is that really smaller countries are really at the mercy of a bunch of foreigners who essentially decide their economy and that we are really living in the same colonial times no different from a few hundred years ago where under colonialism things were much worse but at least there are some good people in the west who may have had some influence even if small to help out smaller nations but again knowing their oligarchs who obviously planned out their way of continuing their neo colonialism via privatisation and corporations basically taking control over smaller countries resources and their people being led astray even abandoning their nation for foreign countries and their grandeur lifestyles and selling themselves for foreigners just to get to their equal status really the only hope smaller nations can have is that the west and other respective superpowers can get good people in control who understand the long term consequences of the constant wars they create and just for once have an understanding of having some humanity for once and do something about their corrupt leaders and institutions which waste all the resources left on this planet for pointless wars and control over other nations otherwise we will be looking at a dystopian world where really people aren't allowed to have an understanding with each other for peace and are pushed to kill their families and neighbours just so they can enjoy short term materialistic possessions all from the blood of others even their own people, no wonder people are constantly depressed today as the problems are only made by those in power wanting to enjoy constantly while living in their artificial worlds living in ignorance

  380.  @costinhalaicu2746    well about these topics really here's the thing, my country has a different history from whatever history your country went through and as far as our country is concerned we are very anti western and for very good reasons and although the west may have done some positives the negatives like our culture being completely desecrated and warped in convenience for the west and not to mention our country being lead by corrupt leaders whom the west continues to support and endorse them, all these factors is what leads to us being anti western in the first place, idk about your country and whether it was in the Soviet era which we foreigners don't have any knowledge about, regardless of what your countrys people think for us the west has been a negative influence and we would rather want the west gone along with other Empires, and whatever history your people are exposed to for us all these countries like Iran Russia or the west including the US are the enemies really, all foreigners have done in our nation is replace and warp our culture into unrecognisable things and is why we have such contempt against any nation, so don't be mistaken into believing I would support any country even the west for us is our enemy and any other countries support their regime, same goes with China or other superpowers, about Iran and other countries you claim from what we understood is that they are no different than the west at least for my country people and we wouldn't want to get involved in any of their histories let alone the west whom we wish give back all they stole from our lands instead of living off our wealths, but sadly the people in my country are just too stuck up worshiping westerners as saviors yet never see them as the colonizers they are

  385.  @costinhalaicu2746  please westerner don't delude us with western facts and claim sympathy for European countries, in fact the country you mentioned Poland had allied with the west many times against Russia and has allied with many other European powers in the colonial era, we foreigners aren't deluded to just believe that some countries in Europe are innocent despite the fact that those countries had allied with NATO in their expansion, it would be naive for us to not consider European nations as not sharing colonial ties same goes with every other nations in the past and the only nations which we could sympathize with are nations which were essentially colonial outposts for colonizers like many Asian countries or many of the global South or many African nations which are still colonial outposts for the west and for China please don't try to bring up alternative historical facts as to ascertain us foreigners about how colonialism worked especially when it was broadly understood by countries across the globe that the western world had and still was better developed than the rest of the world, even China which was a colonial power in the past never expanded beyond their borders unlike western powers like Europe and Russian Empire from the Tsar Era which expanded to many different continents and continued their colonial expansion and although it could be argued Empires from foreign lands were colonial too they never did expand beyond their lands as much as the west had done, every country has their history written with blood but knowing human history it was never as peaceful as people expect, but what's different from today and in modern times is that countries are no longer in control over their systems, like the Mayans whose descendants i.e Mexicans, Guatemala and other central American countries were colonised by the Spanish and now the US and even if their history was violent there were multiple revolutions and coups as to leave their culture unchanged, but with the western world monotonizing their culture and essentially alienating the newer generation from the history of their countries and in turn worshipping the west which in turn discriminate against them only as long as they don't follow their western ideals, it is making things obvious that times are changed for the worse now that countries are essentially becoming the same as the west with selective ways of running their country all in convenience for the west to monopolize their resources for their self interests

  395.  @costinhalaicu2746  nah westerner we foreigners do have a better clue of what westerners think about, if we are honest here all we see is westerners who have smaller European countries caught in the middle which are caught in the middle of the war and although those countries and their people try to protect the west as a saint who is trying to help them for their interests, it really isn't the case here, we say it again already, it's only a battle between colonizers and smaller countries being caught in the mix, yet smaller countries would rather take sides and let their people be used by other countries than prevent their people from being subjugated by other superpowers, I don't understand why westerners try to defend the west and their actions and bring up alternative historical facts but it wouldn't do them any favors other than face the same situation that Ukraine went through, we just wish countries decentralise their powers first and leave enough for their self defence and for once withdraw their troops across the world and pay back all they had stolen from impoverished and war torn nations for their development and with what they have live modestly for the sake of their peoples interest for once, if that doesn't gets fulfilled then really we surely are doomed and left upto westerners whom we can continually criticize for their actions till they eventually find a way to shut others down and others may take drastic steps and we probably would see another 9/11 happening cause of the west's colonial pathway which will end with an Empire eventually falling down and the world ending in nuclear destruction
    1
  396.  @costinhalaicu2746  well for us foreigners westerners are people who conform to western ideals and beliefs even the flawed ones to their full extent about Ukraine I did say so that the people of Ukraine are caught in the middle between both colonizer nations yet the way we foreigners see it is that Ukrainians are getting better treatment from westerners than many of the Syrian Haitian Mexican or African refugees who had their lands struck by wars and are treated like dirt due to their skin colour, Ukrainian refugees are at least getting relocated to homes instead of staying in camps where they are barely provided any good utilities and many are left to live in the streets even today, you can ask Afghan refugees how bad their country had it, I dont claim completely that Ukrainians aren't suffering from the war and that they essentially lost their lands and are pushed to war even going as far as to put their youths in the battlefield but claiming some aren't given some care for their skin colour as news media and other sources report on Ukrainian refugees more than refugees from other countries we foreigners have already seen a lot from the wests actions how Ukraine is pushed into these wars and their people alongside too, there are open sources and well documented videos of this war for everyone to understand how the situation is in Ukraine and despite all that people still praise the west as if they saved Ukraine despite the fact that they were doomed since the west had committed to their intervention on their lands yes I dont claim that Russia should interfere either but the west is surely fueling the tensions between colonizer nations by doing the same thing but with soft power tactics as to interfere in Ukrainian politics and their peoples cultural lifestyle essentially westernizing it like how our country went through it's the same thing that had happened here with smaller countries which are getting westernized and either a corrupt leader ends up ruining the entire nation or some foreign invaders like Russia or China come in invading their lands m, for us foreigners as far as we are concerned we don't want the west gaining any more allies similar to Russia gaining allies from the middle East which we are against really, countries are already getting too powerful than they already are and we foreigners from smaller nations would rather criticize nations and their factions like NATO or China or Russia for expanding their influences and power than comply with either of them, I mean even we foreigners see some westerners being anti war and wanting to repent for their ancestors atrocities by giving away all that was stolen so why can't smaller countries avoid allying with the west and praise them as their saviors as countries which have done so are left in the dust, it's understandable as to avoid another colonial threat but really all that's been done is just replacing one threat with new management i.e the west

  403. ​​ @Joe-cb6ex ​​​ ​ don't get why westerners use these words like white dudes and all other terms as if there aren't coloured people in the west being colonial like Obama, for us foreigners really we just dislike any westerner regardless of their colours or other differences as long as they conform to their countries colonial actions, we just see westerners as the same we also don't believe westerners should just blindly hate their people and their culture for their leaders actions, culture or ones progress has nothing to do with the colonial actions of the west, yes if those topics have anything related to colonial actions of the west (like weaponization of the atomic bomb or other achievements related to the colonial actions of the west) for then yes westerners should have no justification of defending them, but culture or achievements which aren't related to one country's colonial actions shouldn't be defamed or berated against we foreigners don't seek blind hate for westerners only just their oligarchs and those who support their oligarchs actions (like Britishers supporting Churchill actions a fellow colonizers no matter what positives he did for his country against the Nazis another colonizer) we don't seek blind hate, just wish for the west to stop their expansion and colonial ways and surrender their powers and all they stole from foreign countries (which includes trillions and God knows how much the west stole) and live modestly with what they have remaining in their own country, and for once stop playing world police or oppressing their own people for their own selfish interests the same goes for every superpowers and their colonial actions as they should do the same thing surrendering their powers and give back what they stole and live with what they have while not oppressing their own people

  435.  @sk9584  you know why your country has corrupt leaders in the first place? Cause the west uses various rhetorics like capitalism being good while other forms of systems being bad (cold war is an example of how countries were swayed into supporting the west against the big bad Soviets which really was nothing but a way for the west to continue their neo colonialism after they learnt from the British Empire) while they wouldn't allow any country to have autonomy over their systems and resources, under the name of "free market" (which really is controlled by the west) they had taken advantage of the individualistic mentality that people from smaller countries have and had funded corporations (owned by those individualistic people) into gaining control over the resources of smaller countries and sell them out to the west at a cheaper rate (is why the USD still has more value than most currencies cause the west can decide so), if countries fight back and nationalise their resources like Libya tried with their gold reserves they are put into submission by the west via sanctions and cutting off trade from the neighbouring countries like how Cuba or North Korea (which has a corrupt leader too) was cut off from the rest of the world countries aren't in control over their lands anymore and those who are in control are corporations who essentially sell out their people for the wests interest and get settled down in the west after committing all the atrocities against their own people We can try speaking out but really these people have managed to engineer and even have people who specifically are tasked to plan out that western Empire won't fail easily and with all the resources in hand they practically are able to get what they want sadly It's not a matter of just saying there isn't enough activism against these colonizers but it's also about how these Empires have enough resources to put down any form of activism possible and with AI and other technology which the west uses against our people it certainly isn't looking good in the near future and even if we do have some way to shut down the western Empire or any other Empires the power vacuum left behind would also mean that other worse people would want to take their positions too leaving our country essentially slaves to new managements

  446. The truth is there's no getting rid of ruling class, in nature theres always a hierarchy and same will apply with human nature, we would want someone as a leader leading us regardless of whether it's a system made of monarchy communist or capitalist, capitalism just happens to be a weakened system at best allowing multiple free leaders who are free to do whatever they wish which also means either gaining billions and putting the working class/peasants under or handling it responsibly and using their power to help out their fellow people, any system whether capitalist socialist monarchy or dictatorship can work as long as the people on the top do their job of handling the affairs of their kingdom/company/government, but sadly people are selfish and instead of handling power responsibly they rather use it to buy billion dollar mansion or car and all that stuff and with countries involved which the west obviously doesn't want any more competition of (as they are still continuing their colonial history of colonising foreign countries whether through the so called "free market" where one country resources are subject to control from foreign companies thus having the very country being colonised again at least indirectly and subtly as to prevent insurrection among those countries and those who don't comply to the "free market" are subjected to invasion or sanctions stripping them from contact with neighbouring countries who are subjected to free market themselves) regardless of where power ends up in whether in the hands of a few(monarchy)or very few (communist i.e governments )or in the hands of multiple entities (capitalists) power is something that corrupts or helps humanity progress, the west which has been hoarding all its power stolen/still stealing from foreign countries doesn't look to return all their stolen wealth and uses its capitalist system (a government led system wouldn't work obviously for the west as we seen monarchs or communist leaders being toppled due to the concentration of wealth easily centralised for insurrection to happen) to take control of the rest of the world and any other country looking for self preservation via nationalising their resources are bombed/sanctioned for western interests
