  20.  @robertstan298  i mean really it's understandable why the knowledge of the incident of the crisis will not be understood correctly as really history throughout this time could be warped and whitewashed in convenience to western interests especially when we have seen this before with how the indigenous people in Canada were treated and sent to reeducation camps in the same period, i mean the true history of the crisis will probably never be known and only known to the leaders of those countries involved, i mean there could have been no missiles at all or the west would have wanted to wage war on Russia at that time who knows, i mean the disinformation warfare launched by the US on Russia in Ukraine conflict is also having an effect where history critical of the US is being whitewashed and warped according to western interests, the only way we can know true history is visiting the countries themselves and being around with the native population who will probably know the actual history interpretation from each sides as the west has a larger foothold on the internet with how it provides false information to people from foreign countries as to side with the west, we may never know the true history of nations as western media outlets like Fox news even justify imperialism as it brought knowledge and Industrialization to the colonized countries but at what cost really? The history of those nations are probably forgotten by the newer generation and the west is choosing the younger populace of foreign countries especially gen z to be the target of their disinformation campaigns and it's working well for western culture to indoctrinate them as they will be part of a monotonous culture

  98. ​ @letthatsimmer  in fact the idea of using rhetorics as a way to justify invasions on foreign countries is exactly what the western Empire and it's people have been doing what does it matter how countries run their systems really? As long as they aren't facing foreign interference and aren't violating their peoples interests which the people of those countries should do something about as its been shown that any western interferences have caused countries to be in ruin regardless of whether it's done with good intentions or bad westerners should just leave the world alone and fix their own country and make sure their oligarchs aren't interfering on other countries either keeping it only with business and no political talks about those countries, but hey westerners use agenda based rhetorics like communism capitalism as a way to justify invasions on those lands right? In fact those westerners who have issues with authoritarian oligarchs should first fix their own country first and overthrow their elites for good even use violent means if there's no options left like with the Russian revolution, China did the same although still was in a weak position from the Imperial Japan's invasion on their lands and the people of western countries instead of wasting their time criticizing foreign countries should look at their own first and not just choose oligarchs who will claim hundred different things and in fact violently overthrow their governments for good if no peaceful options are left

  177.  @Nerwesta  well it is better to have a smaller number of people who can use sufficient resources and lavish lifestyle than having millions who all want the same lifestyle that the rich live, the modern European ideology is based on the fact that countries from third world have large numbers of population and all that numbers wouldn't be enough to sustain them for a long time especially when people will fight for resources, the issue with this thinking is the fact that European leaders can't admit the fact that this overpopulation issue was created by the rich in the first place and had been continuing for centuries especially when the poor desperate for money and better lifestyle breed as much as possible to have kids who could provide them the lifestyle they didn't get, its very common in South Asian countries and even if it is a positive thing about family sticking together it still is completely reliant on each other as if anything happening to the breadwinner will lead to all them in poverty and the cycle continues, this could all have been avoided in the 19th century especially when modern liberalism which is based on a scientific and socio-cultural understanding of things in the world compared to the old system of superiority complex among the elite started coming up and people from the colonist countries at least started having souls and remorse for their actions and started to better the lives of those they had ruined, but now there's an issue with how things have been going, similar to a person who has been wronged for many years who will want revenge which is understandable from a certain point of view, now countries will want the same thing against European countries and will go far as to harm the citizens of those respective countries to satiate their revenge which will just continue the cycle of who will come at the top and bottom, history throughout time has been around the fact that humans lived their lives without any proper understanding or care about the world they are living in, only recently we started progressing in proper understanding of the world around us compared to those days stuck with placebo effects like religion and other things which satiated ourselves and kept us from progressing further, modern times could be better and not a repeat of the old century ways which the few select are desperate to hold onto which wages war on those who are poor and steal from them, even in those old century there were kings who actually cared for the welfare of their citizens something that modern times doesn't look for even from a profitable business perspective, by having a better understanding to the people in poorer countries towards scientific and socio-cultural understanding and respecting their culture and bettering way of life is how you can prevent them from taking drastic measures like overpopulation which they had no choice to take especially even now poorer nations are forcibly breeding offsprings as a way to survive like in Russia where this war is escalating day by day

  254. people here talk about drugs being good or bad but are actually scientifically illiterate about things like these, they forget the fact that addiction to these drugs is something that often doesn't get addressed and many don't even know the composition of the product especially when taking the wrong product which usually is adulterated could be dangerous overall and people who aren't informed about drugs or have any knowledge of it should never be allowed to take stuff like this especially many don't even know the dosage limits or how much of it could be fatal, overall suggestion for people should be the fact that to try understand things instead of recklessly consume products and get addicted towards it especially when it's become the norm and culture nowadays to consume drugs and party and maybe not treat drugs as daily commodities like food and clothing where due to demand excessive production causes massive problems to the environment and allows predatory businesses to exploit on that trend which is happening with marijuana sadly, i mean really people in the past have taken serious drugs and survived especially when they know how much of it could mess up the body and how much of it is good enough not to get addicted, it's scary how people can't seem to understand that addiction to anything is the problem especially with alcohol or even excess food which people find as a way to quench themselves of the problems of the real world, i mean the so called blowback on drugs caused the war on drugs which their leaders justified interfering in foreign countries which people claim were supplying drugs but of course the results of the war on drugs is seen, instead of blaming drugs why not blame the culture or ideology that people still can't see is harming them, what's to say there won't be another drug which will pop up in the future and would be worse, why not go after the moneymakers and legal companies which allowed this mess to continue and lend money to cartels which are in turn just proxies for the government, it's sad how ignorant the people here are

  264. Well that's the issue, think of those times during slavery and when the average citizen was indifferent towards those slaves and just thought of them as lowlifes and untouchables but there were some who did want to help them but were powerless as it was the culture to consider slaves as lowlifes, good people feel the same way towards the poor and while there are some who do want to help and they are powerless to do so, the worlds more about survival and nothing else, people rather look after themselves first than others and not all people are like this, even from a personal experience there are people who do feed the poor and try when they get the opportunity to help them, the worlds about survival and just like in the wild where you will get eaten by predators or starve if you don't go after food our world is kind of similar when it comes to resources and yes even if there are people who do help the poor at some point it's unlikely they will sacrifice their own well being, the rich are in the fact that they are superior and have more than what they have and if an average person had the same wealth at least the good person they will surely help those around who are poor or help them provide jobs and other things necessary, it's not about superiority complex as you claim at least for many good folks as even rich people some will help but not enough as to let go of their luxuries or end up in the middle class, some rich do help in the sense they live in the same way middle class do but keep that wealth for their offspring instead of spending it but it's different for those rich who have everything at their disposal yet don't help and only seek after more and live in that old century mentality like almost religious thinking that their way of life should stay the same, that is evil no matter how much you put it here, the materialistic desire for more instead of using it sufficiently and smartly is killing the rich and in their stupidity they are costing the lives of others to achieve that want, there are all sides of good and evil doesn't matter but claiming they are not evil is just a fallacy especially when they have that potential but they rather live in their egoism and arrogance as to further themselves as superior

  287.  @pausereflect5911  the issue with modern times I see is that there's so much information around it's just impossible for people to focus on one topic let alone have the time to see through any of these recordings, example I seen is say a controversial topic about a corrupt government official and after a few years it's all just forgotten buried under all that white noise from others, it's one of the reasons why people arent able to discuss controversial topics anymore and concepts like that are brought up are put down just as quick by a large number of people who oppose it targeting it, yeah you can try but the number of people who want things to remain the same are more than the ones who are trying to change it as they fear that change will affect their lifestyles in some manner, i don't think we can fix things especially when channels like these are just 0.1% compared to what's going out there for the rest, these channels unless they get millions of views everyday which is unlikely, they will still wouldn't be able to make any changes noticable by others in the net, westerners had that chance in the past when things were relatively tame but foreign countries didn't see that change when it was supposed to and now it is certain for us foreigners to not expect westerners to fix things, we would rather keep it to ourselves if things don't change and although I wish things would be different many would have no choice if the west doesn't change its policies against its fellow superpowers, it will take a miracle probably for this mess to be fixed and not to mention the damages caused by the west too

  289. But one thing no matter what system is applied to all sectors should be understood and is the fact that corruption in these systems will be inevitable something that people should start to accept instead of praising one system while berating the other which I kinda feel has many flaws, i like this channel but can't get over the fact how much they try to claim communism will solve everything but it also need to be understood that people if they eat the rich will become the rich and there will be no difference as people will just elect few others as large masses can easily be swayed by people looking for power, so i feel each systems flaws should be addressed as it will make for better discussion and ways to improve or even make a new system altogether different from the previous predecessors, and not to mention how each system on the countries being applied also is completely dependent on how much resources the country has or the culture that the country has, eg : Cuba due to being sanctioned by the US had no way of sustenance as they had been outdated on technological and sociological aspects and it became increasingly harder for them to have a foothold in the global market and also corruption played a big hand in the decline many countries in the global south, but many countries now are becoming self reliant thankfully and establishing their own foothold through their own resources instead of other countries consuming their products, it also plays in hand of how with self reliance other countries are more binded together culturally as compared to consuming other countries culture instead of their own, so globalisation you could say has stereotyped countries into jobs they are meant to do for eg - Saudi Arabia and Russia as oilmen or China or other Asian countries as the production factory worker or manager and many of these countries are tired of being stereotyped for certain roles and are now wanting their own roles in how they will manage for their own citizens compared to being completely reliant on other nations like the US or Europe for healthcare which the west has a massive global control over, it is understandable how countries geography and culture also plays into how they have each roles to be assigned off but this is something that should not be their only identity, something that the west continually wants to stick them to their roles, there needs to be a balance in what flaws each countries have and how they can cover up their flaws like say most countries don't have enough oil reserves but can rely on other countries while keeping a positive relationship but if in case a catastrophe happens in a nation and be self reliant for their citizens instead of the whole system falling apart with being excessively reliant

  298.  @Time4Peace   @Andy Roid  well, I kinda agree with that last statement really but I do feel the US system is more draconian than that of the Chinese, the fact that people in the west claim freedom of speech yet censor various controversial topics and discussions which are meant to be had but kept under wraps for the sake of people is problematic especially for the people, so no people in these systems do not trust the government here, and the issue also pertains of the fact that the west unlike China looks to force surveillance on every country and their systems onto catching any US citizens who are expats or have taken refuge in different countries due to various reasons like whistleblowing or exposing classified government secrets, hell Snowden was an example and he was persecuted for it regardless of the fact that corruption in the government was exposed, I say these ideas of censorship and other concepts from governments exposed by various other figures like Julian Assange or Snowden is used against foreign countries who unlike the west aren't willing to force their concepts onto others, I said so the system the Chinese implemented is relatively new and it will take time before things can be stable, unlike the west which wants every country to adopt the same systems they want them to and even gain control over any of their expats who defected from the US, I do agree with Asian countries overall having a familial based philosophy and many nations are already adopting such a system which suits them to their convenience is better than having a system being against the citizens like the west is doing, I see the bigger problem being the west especially with its aggressive approach on its policies towards its people and always favouring the elite, and overall western ideas and culture should stay in the west which I agree with

  358. How does prostitution mitigate any abuse here ? If we live in a society where sex trafficking and other crimes against women are involved it just shows the incompetency of the government which is meant to protect its citizens from such exploitation, it just shows how people still haven't left the old century ways where women didn't even have rights let alone have jobs which doesn't involve them being exploited and it's no different from modern times here and instead of the opposite sex suffering for others pleasures it's more about everyone from all races and gender selling themselves equally for the sick pleasures of people, it still doesn't eradicate exploitation overall which the government is meant to do yet people are sick enough to seek pleasures at the expense of others, i mean Epstein island itself is an example of how modern culture failed the youths and the system which allowed all this and continues to allow people who seek exploitation to continue their voices and censor those who speak against it, the fact of the matter is the nature of sex work itself is exploitative whether people like it or not and it is an industry which involves physical and mental harm to those who involve their bodily functions to be ruined with contraceptives and surgery for sex appeal especially in the porn industry which is notorious for exploitation, people selling their bodies for the sake of money should never have been a thing especially in modern times where the ways of the old century like slavery and other exploitative jobs are slowly eradicated for people to lead prosperous lives, such an industry offers nothing to contribute to society other than satisfy the sick pleasures of people who seek to enjoy at the expense of others, work should never be at the expense of a persons physical and mental health and we already have technological marvels which are already replacing jobs which were harmful for people to conduct and this should be no different and people should seek more mutualistic ideals which benefits people positively

  366.  @awpetersen5909  well it was the USSR which used to held these practices and those times of the Tsars and many of them shared slavic lineages if you know the history of their cultures, if Russia is slowly taking those territories over we would have seen more more asian or European countries under Russian rule which wasn't the case, if anything it's more like inverse with European countries like Germany, France, Portugal, Netherlands trying to do the same with even erasing the history and culture of the countries they colonised, many of the ethnicities in Russia still keep their identities despite living in the same state, that claim of mistrust among Russians has been fed by westerners for centuries especially when Russians were regarded as lower class among countries like Germany or France or other countries which formerly had monarchy, Russia even if the history wasn't pleasant probably isn't looking to conquer as you westerners claim, if you known the history of Donbass where there are indeed Neo Nazis in Ukraine and the west did nothing to cull or get rid of Nazism or even bother to report anything about their crimes in the mainstream media as doing so will lead to them now having to reveal their history of working with Nazi Germany in Ukraine with Banderites fascists led by Stephen Bandera former nazi collaborator If you claim that Russia invaded the country despite the fact that the west did nothing against the conflict with the Donbass being constantly threatened by Azov forces and Banderites which there were a large number of which western sources used to report on but didn't show enough coverage, you westerners still keep that old colonial mentality and think countries are the same whereas never questioning your own country imperialistic ways which is still continuing with how the US steals Syrian oil reserves, there's a reason why many countries still support Russia especially when many of them know exactly the history between the Baltic states and Russia and Russia being constantly threatened with NATO expansion on these Baltic states which it has no jurisdiction towards leaves Russia no choice here, you claim Russia invaded Ukraine under the pretext of liberating ethnicities yet can't say the same thing that US did with Iraq which it has no reason to actually invade using false claims of weapons of mass destruction as a claim to ruin millions of lives which it still couldn't provide any evidence of, Russia at least has a valid reason which the West hasn't solved in Ukraine and chose to allow far right groups to carry out genocide against Donbass and Russia also being threatened with NATO expansion

  372.  @bdd2195 Aiden Aslin isn't a Ukrainian citizen especially when he hasn't issued any Ukrainian passport or visa which could prove he's a citizen of Ukraine, you think people just become soldiers for free then? You westerners claim others can't understand things yet here you are can't even understand the difference between a mercenary and a soldier, the difference between them is night and day, one can enlist in foreign forces and get the sufficient amount they can just like any average army personnel and they have to follow rules and regulations as the military always does as to have a sufficient ethical standpoint between both parties, mercenaries don't have those rules and ethics and are directly paid money for directed purposes which they fulfill, Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner aren't citizens of Ukraine and if they were they would issue passports and other identifications as to prove they have citizenship, going into a country and fighting a conflict does not make you a citizen of that country, Russia even if hired mercenaries like the Wagner group which incorporates prisoners from the Russian federation into soldiers who also have ethics they have to follow and aren't paid money and only reduced sentences as to enlist in the army and they are still classified as mercenary despite only the private military company paid to and not the workers, Donetsk and Lugansk republics are not paid by Russia here they have their own rules and regulations and laws different from Russia and have different policies in regards to their military force, your definition of mercenary is completely flawed and maybe you need to recheck again as Russian military is in no way smaller and still have yet to mobilize as only a few hundred thousand had been mobilized at the start of the special military operation

Well really you gotta look at this way, Germany had invaded Russia and nearly tried another invasion against Moscow and in that process carried out their ethnical cleaning against Russian villages and putting millions in concentration camps wiping out multiple ethnicities throughout the region, and this was also the 1940s where ethics weren't something considered at all and Russians when they got the upper hand gave everything they had against Germany and in that process lead to something disturbing and that is the revenge mentality that people have overall, this mentality was so engrained in Russia due to the losses suffered by them they were willing to do anything as to have some form of payback against those who wronged them and in documented cases it was shown how ruthless Soviet troops were when they finally had enough and carried assaults in villages, other European countries citizens did the same thing as to satiate their revenge against the nation which ruined their people and culture and it lead to people who should have been convicted and sentenced for their crimes to get away with it especially on the Russian and British side who justifying preying on the weak as a sick form of revenge against the Germans, hopefully Russia does not carry out anything like this especially when the recent conflict of Serbia and Yugoslavia saw the most disturbing cases of genocide and rape and murder of ethnicities against both respective sides , and with the US fueling these wars Russia should really take steps as to avoid any such mentality breeding onto their citizens and be humane as to prevent violent ideologies like Nazism ever taking hold on the populace and youth of those countries, really we should be looking to help the weak to progress and come out strong while helping those who had been wronged give them support and care in these times where we have been at our safest and prevent people who are having malicious intent from carrying out their deeds like the collective west waging wars on foreign nations and even other larger countries like China or Russia whom even if we are supporting should be critical of and all their doings as to prevent any of those nations to carry the same legacy as the west did with imperialism and allow respect and prosperity for all nations to have a foothold in the world sharing power as to help their respective citizens prosper and advance humankind regardless of race or colour or ethnicities or country origin

  384.  @QuentinKLEau  my suggestion will be a better hybrid system which takes the best aspects of them, in this case things like state resources and health related issues should have a communist approach as capitalistic ideals we have seen how devastating effects it has on the populace who are denied treatment as to pay more instead of sufficient treatment for the individual and healthcare being expensive, and other consumption related fields like electronics and communication technology or entertainment sectors could have some capitalistic ideals as competition between both companies for products is something that's positive as there's incentive to progress and create the better product similar with entertainment as each companies can have a healthy competition overall, but in terms of social welfare fields like conservation of environment or resources lented projects which affects peoples lives should be state related completely as to avoid corporate meddling and concepts like planned obsolescence which cut downs the quality of the product for profits as we have seen many construction projects fail or build poorly as to save money for corporate lobbyists which they use money as to avoid facing law, there's also the possibility of state officials being corrupt but they should have better regulation and records which could be tracked back to people as there will at least be some records of any officials involved in corruption compared to corporate entities which can completely avoid detection as they aren't restricted by state laws and regulations as we have seen various companies do as to move their production in foreign nations as to avoid prosecution which has happened before, we should learn from these experiences and come up with systems which will mutually benefit the welfare of the people of those countries and their elected leaders whom they have chosen and can have background checks as to avoid any disinformation among the masses as compared to corporatism which we have almost no guarantee off and them having more transparency with laws

  402. 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

  425.  @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

  492. A lot of polish people seem to take this victimhood mentality like the Zionists are doing while they are bombing Gaza, these colonizers seem to think that foreigners will believe their western propaganda and acting like they were doing just fine till the Soviets came along,while in the past their country was suffering from severe poverty, debts, housing crisis cause of the mass privatization carried out by the capitalists in the 1920-30s, and these polish people use the poor economic conditions their ancestors suffered as a way to claim that the Soviets did all of this despite the fact that the Soviets did all they could especially when Nazi Germany was the one to be blamed for causing even more misfortune they they already had in the 30s while the developments they had later on after the capitalists were back in power was primarily because of the fact they had implemented social democratic system which involved exploitation of foreign labour with private institutions on foreign lands and still do so, but they pretend to use the victim status their ancestors suffered as a way to justify their modern imperialist ways But hey polish capitalists would do anything to prevent a communist revolution running on their country and making sure the workers don't have control over their country, and you see the polish peoples economic plight after being taken advantage off by capitalists and the capitalists using the past as a way to make them forget that the elites of Poland are oppressing their own people currently It shows fascism is rising in Poland again as the capitalists are gaining power and cutting off all the previous benefits of social democracy which came from exploitation of foreign labour and unequal exchanges and other criminal methods carried out under the name of free market

  506. The reality is that every country in the modern century is authoritarian but for their own reasons of justification, the Chinese overall are atheist centric people with the majority of them being Han Chinese and here what we see is just a culture clash between both ethnicities which seek different ideals i.e the Chinese with their westernized atheist centric approach and Uyghurs with Islamic culture which has different ideals for their women and other restrictive ideals unlike the westernised block of majority of Han Chinese, these culture clashes are almost something which every country faces but also there's also the problem of Xingyang region which the Han Chinese seeks to have more control over as it was part of Mongolia in the past, China wants control over it as they obviously consider it part of their country which they could if they were more acceptable of ethnic minorities like other countries like India was in the past (until the majority of Hindu nationalists started regime change and oppressing their Muslim ethnicities) Sure theres no denying the Uyghurs are supported by western colonizers in their approach where they encourage radicalism instead of proper cultural tolerance on both sides and even reforming their practices as to understand the issues of both cultures and their flaws Some muslim ethnicities have been very conservative and protectionists sometimes to the extreme (stoning women and other practices which prevents women from engaging any any degenerative cultural beliefs) towards womens rights and mens to avoid other vices of society which western culture fails to acknowledge (which Chinese culture and almost any non orthodox and non religious cultures in modern times have adopted and accepted as westernization is pretty much accepted everywhere across the globe sadly without proper understanding or autonomy of existing cultures of those countries), while western culture encourages toxic liberalism towards women and encouraging experimental rights like lgbt rights ( which we are seeing having many issues in western culture with how overtly sexualized it is without any proper understanding or research on its consequences) which western culture encourages them to engage in prostitution and other predatory jobs and other cultural vices which some orthodox Muslims from countries find ill tolerant for many understandable reasons but their approach towards these ideals itself is ofc poorly done Both sides of the spectrum don't try to reform their ideals and culture and find the problems and flaws of their culture and discuss it together instead they lean towards extremism (i.e western culture with their high emphasis on women rights even rights which are harmful to them and some Muslim cultural ideals which deny any basic rights for women even education in fears of them learning any western degenerative ideals) Obviously again even efforts to try to reform their ideals and seek tolerance towards each others cultures are thwarted by those in power who want to take advantage of the peoples sentiments for their own twisted goal of colonialism which is exactly what's happening in China too China although it does claim to be secular still takes its notes from western culture itself (foreign Chinese students who learnt all the knowledge from western Universities and thus leading to harmful choices) which they could have avoided by understanding western culture faults and in turn not just taking inspiration from them, but again the blame doesn't just go on China as western culture and their ideals are literally everywhere which encourage harmful vices without proper research or understanding of maybe the consequences of their regular culture itself which those in "radical" Muslim countries find it ill tolerable understandably so China had abandoned their culture half a century ago with the cultural revolution which they took away even the positive historical cultures of their country which could have maybe helped them understand or take notes in maybe trying to have different approaches than the westernised approach they currently practice along with every country (even Russia which the Soviets didn't in the past but now has changed) Culture clash is a serious topic which people often don't discuss about and it's consequences are seen by these radical extremism and so called "reeducation" (cultural genocide) done by both sides in fact People seem to take pity for Uyghurs but also they are funded by western extremist groups throughout the middle East so its not just a matter of good vs bad here and there should be more understanding of the problems and issues with cultural ideals which in westernised countries across the world fails to acknowledge or reform themselves and we see its consequences

  519. @J PETERMAN i mean I'm just surprised that people think that drugs are being treated as if they are food which we consume daily or something, i mean even alcohol in excess could cause cirrhosis and cancer yet people still continue to get addicted towards it, I'm not saying addiction isn't something that can be easily controlled but at least most people i see are barely aware how addicting various substances can be and usually are lone when trying exotic drugs or with friends who themselves are less literate about drugs, also the issue is the culture that's around which constantly tells people how drugs can be consumed without informing anything about the side effects, like LSD is explored as a good psychedelics but people never understand the fact that consuming any drug while in a bad mood could turn out into a nightmare, the point of drugs is to enhance the cognitive functions that includes memory and emotional thoughts which also releases dopamine as a factor, and people who are in depression often take drugs recklessly especially when they don't know which drugs they should take, LSD usually causes bad trips especially with people who suffered trauma in the past and people fall into that hole and get worse especially when people continue to focus on that bad trauma and are never able to escape, so knowledge is massively important especially when we are selectively smart but not well rounded in all aspects in modern society, we should be more scientifically literate on things like these especially when it allows people to explore new aspects of those drugs and help understand it's applications on all sectors of science and not just for personal consumption

  542. Well the logic is to give away power to more corporate lobbyists who were formerly the people themselves? What difference is there between the corporate and the people really? Your idea of a free market may work for a single person but the competition mentioned only causes more problems than actually collectively work for betterment, the government is inefficient because the people working in the government are incompetent or work with corruption and trying to seize power, the corporate elements are no different from the mafia which ironically was created from the average person gaining power and climbing up the ladder, the idea of a free market can work only if the government allows enough control over resources instead of having people who will look for their own interests and seek power, the problem is corruption overall and the handling of power which happens in both people and the government, let's say a person who has a small business and eventually grows it into a bigger one and in that self preservation tries desperate measures to prevent competition from others who want that same status and this leads to infighting and even smaller underlings working under them are considered casualties, the mafia system is no different from the corporate system but instead of gaining resources through monopoly they use brute force or other factors and even try legalising their businesses, the arguments for a free market is understandable but even among people there are bad eggs which will try sinking other businesses to gain power to the top and the nature of competition itself which does involve violence will be harmful overall, and added the fact that corporate practices involve absolute control and revision over the rules they provide leads to even more problems like healthcare being privatisated which is worsening the conditions of the people seek healthcare, the current system that China or Russia i believe has is a hybrid system i believe where companies are present but are controlled by the state and don't have full control over their businesses, if they were US led systems they wouldn't have functioned well especially when for example cloud companies companies can revise rules around surveillance and the government will be unable to gain access to a costumers information if a customer has a criminal record or is endangering others and this leads to a loophole where some companies are more reluctant and massive lawsuits take place over them, the autonomy that businesses have is dangerous if not handled well and rogue companies have been an issue overall especially when it comes to healthcare again where corporate practices of reducing basic food and water needs is seen, the issue with capitalism is the fact that even if people do gain power some use it for malice and to get to the top like Amazon which still has human rights issues with how workers are treated and this reckless power distribution where there are thousands if not millions of companies where some end up rogue is a major issue which the ordinary people are suffering from, problems with communism is also understood well as the wealth is concentrated to the state and people get sufficient pay to their hard work accordingly but at least it will be less likely that problems will occur with such a system if managed well, it's all upon numbers and how much people are likely to face problems under respective systems and the way i see it in capitalism resource distribution comes at the cost of fewer people as most people will have enough resources if the government were to fail but also creates the problem of one person gaining more and more resources till they gain power which they can have full autonomy over their company and the people working under it via their work hours etc which companies have exploited in the past, i argue with communism if damages are caused it will be a big dent for sure but will fix things up if enough attention is given to it, compared to companies which if damaged can go under dragging the people who worked under it too, it's all upon the people whether they choose to have a big dent if some problems arises (communism) or to have smaller holes which eventually grows big (capitalism), under communism there will be less autonomy but also less risks compared to capitalism which has more autonomy but higher risks which could be devastating or be benefiting but playing on a balance here, i rather prefer a hybrid system which takes i to account how resources are managed and compared to the past system which didn't allow any research on how things could be managed due to corruption which should be curbed the newer system could look to how they can incorporate elements of both systems and apply those which are beneficial instead of being one sided and out of a lack of understanding cause even more issues, whatever the system there should be a unbiased research put forth as to avoid interference

  545.  @majeedp8760  what you westerners don't seem to understand is countries want to preserve their culture and some do it at the expense of their own people which is exactly what foreign countries now which have technologically developed fear, at this point in time where we have conflicts with each other instead of looking at the bigger picture of who's in control and how they influence people towards infighting, I'm not saying Iranian culture should never change its Sharia law but still with current times I say it should be a gradual and natural change among the people who should look at other cultures and their negatives and try to choose the positives instead of abandoning their culture altogether, a cultural bond makes people stronger and gives them hope and this is something that western countries completely lack as they carry out controversial things which even if it harms them they still look for solace like prostitution, hypersexualization which has ruined western men and women i argue which never is brought up in western media as people come to accept such cultures as to prevent ending up in poverty, women nowadays in the western countries (not all women but the recent younger ones) sell themselves to people and even if they do have freedom which is another positives about the west still doesn't look the fact that economically they are suffering and don't have much choices other than compromises which the west graciously accepts and gives power to women who get radicalized with extremism without seeing the damages they cause to others , foreign countries see these issues and do not want the same radicalization (most muslim families i seen are usually very protective of their daughters especially the head of the family and never let any foreign influences near them, i agree it's a toxic form of protection which restricts their freedom) and both sides of the extreme right and left need to set aside their differences and look to change things and accept the various positive aspects which benefits the people instead of waging wars against each other, i do understand the frustrations of each respective cultures but you got to look from their perspective towards the culture that you westerners live and never question your own culture instead, it's overall better to change your own selves than look to change others who wouldn't be willing to change

  547. The issue is even if these capitalists if they look from a business perspective don't really seem to understand that cheap labour will only cause people to fight back and more losses for them, instead of wasting time trying to wage wars they could easily invest or spearhead research on robotics and other technology which could have eliminated the need for humans to work under inhuman conditions, the situation that we are in like overpopulation and other wealth gap is only caused by the rich especially when the poor having no choice to survive will try to breed as much as possible hoping their offspring will lift them out of poverty and in some countries it eventually becomes their culture to breed as much as possible to stay alive similar to prey animals like rabbits or rodents which is understandable from a human perspective, similar to the situation China and other third world countries like India and other south asian countries were in, there's still poverty but significantly reduced than before, but the rich want people to go back to the same times as before without understanding that with scientific progress people from the poorer communities would come to an socio-cultural understanding and will have a better scientific approach on things and even revise their way of life as to prevent overpopulation, it's the same issues on African countries where a state technologically developed has better population control and resources management and things have progressed there quite well in these years, so unless the rich don't let go of their old century mentality of egoism which keeps them dependant on the same old system and culture which they continue to follow ( look at how fuel sources have remained the same since hundreds of years and other technological developments come from old century methods) we will still be stuck on this pointless squabbles between people who can't even see from a logical standpoint that everyone is dependent on each other on this planet and pissing off one side will only cause chaos, which from a business perspective as corporatism puts it is non profitable and reckless as losing your consumer base is the worst thing you will be doing

  550.  @MS-jz9ne  well really what can you a average citizen do infront of these elites? The reality is these people who are powerful will continue to be powerful just like the old days where people in the imperialistic era colonised many countries while the average citizen just were living their lives without any complaint as doing so will lead to them being persecuted or worse, it was similar thing in the US when slavery was present, people were indifferent during those times and information about things weren't provided to the average public as newspapers only reported on things which were within their country and not what happened to foreign nations, it's a similar case with the internet either confusing the people on what's information is right or wrong and misleading people onto obscurity for the elite interests, it will be hard for people to even learn about the truths of what history is accurate on those great wars with how people have many different interpretations of it and now elites take advantage of it with censorship and other things which doesn't look for any welfare of their citizens, the rich are just waging wars against the rich of other countries and like a big bully you need another big bully to stand upto them. And that's what is happening with China another country with power is on an equal foothold against the US and Russia is also gaining a foothold on the world too, they can either choose to look to take each other's resources and be at the top or bottom or all of them will be on top while their citizens will be in the bottom, eitherways someone will have to assume positions of the top and bottom and it's upto the person sitting at these positions who can decide whether they abuse their power against the people at the bottom or actually help them to stay in the middle

  568.  @svenhanson398  overall I believe westerners should leave foreign countries alone and just fix their own country instead, if anything is to be done it should be done by the people of those countries instead not by people who can't be trusted with their history of colonialism and obviously cultural changes which they will opt for as to live for their own convenience, does internal colonialism mean that other powers should interfere in their matters here? It does seem very convenient for changes and with these countries having historical damages being done to them they will obviously not look to receive any foreign help, China has overall done a better job with that especially when they don't look for whether they are considered terrorists by the rest of the world or not as the people who are in those foreign countries will reform for themselves if they would as with any power shifts throughout time, any interferences from other parties only leads to unintended consequences whether the western group in those countries making the changes want to implement their own culture or not and China understood this well and stays away from it, is why they still opt to trade with the Taliban despite their history as they only believe in the mutual interest of the country Afghanistan overall not the Taliban themselves as in their eyes they are just another political party, I don't believe westerners should interfere with anything across the world for their convenience and they are not the world police here and they should definitely leave world matters alone for good especially when people don't want to continue the same thing or have their cultures being ruined for the sake of western influences

They did criticise and look at what happened to them, the west lives of this idea that with enough white noise information which is legitimate can be censored which is arguably worse than actual censorship as even with valid arguments there aren't enough voices to listen to for the rest of the people, i also did say how censorship even if controversial is argued to censor any disinformation campaigns sent by western media on foreign nations like with Nicaragua successfully getting rid of western interference with censorship which people argue is what China is doing as to avoid it's culture being in harm from the west or potential coups being avoided with the US which used the National Endowment for Democracy NED to overthrow Ukraines democratically elected government with social media influencing the youths to be against their nation like the US does with foreign countries , you westerners keep demonising the Chinese for no reason other than claiming they are fascist without any actual proof of fascism like race segregation or cultural genocide which in the past has been debunked already especially when any western sources at this point have greater chances to be fabricated than actually believable, you claim to criticize China yet i only see extreme bias and calling others fanboy? How is that a valid argument? Especially when all you are doing is being loud and not willing to listen to any valid arguments made by the opposite spectrum which has been proven to be true but westerners still stuck with their heads under the sand

  587. @Meme Memeson Ben Nortons talkpoints are too repetitive with him constantly mentioning the past and not the current affairs that Nicaragua is facing, which is what exactly the West wants the populace to focus on, if you watch that full interview that person Manuel makes some good talking points about censorship and even if he aligns with western interests like many corporate lobbyists do he does make valid arguments as Nicaragua even if it carries out censorship against western hegemony still will be seen as a dictatorship regardless of intentions, censorship is still seen as a negative aspect and will have more people especially the youth being curious about the flaws that westerners keep claiming and will eventually believe it which is what the west wants, the west's disinformation campaigns work on human psychology and how people think on groups and individualistic ways and the west is perfectly targeting various aspects of the flaws that Nicaragua has been doing and trying to plunge the country into chaos in this manner of trying to agitate responses in a way to demonise the country, similar tactics is how the west did with Russia constantly provoking it's influence on Russian borders in Ukraine and Russia eventually snaps and the west got the exact response to demonise Russia once and for all, it's doing the same thing here nothing new and unless countries stop continuing to fall into these traps and see through the manipulation, the west will have better influence over the world especially with its populace who can't think about their flaws and aren't vocal enough to address any of the problems

Do you really think a small scale attack on the US (which itself is questioned by many to be an inside job by your oligarchs) ( and although I do understand the loss of life but still) even if done by Afghanistan warrants an entire country and its people decimated and their culture tarnished for the sake of revenge? Don't you think you westerners sound like colonizers by this point here especially when the amount of damages done to Afghanistan is miles more than 9/11 especially when those people are now run by the client regime that the West has kept in power since 70-80s ? No wonder you westerners are asking to be nuked and erased from the world especially when your actions are harming and worsening the lives of millions across the globe and can be single-handedly credited as even worse committers of genocides than the Third Reich itself, seriously the amount of damages done to countries isn't being acknowledged by you westerners and you people really think that violence is the solution to everything no matter what alternative options are out there especially when countries have been trying safer methods to come to agreements unlike the West, you westerners who are having the blood of millions and preach about your perfect culture to us foreigners who just want to live our lives in peace, all you ask is for everyone to be doomed which isn't something that can be reasoned with

  592. Well it seems like China is the big bad evil nvm the west which colonised China in the past and had utilised cheap Chinese labours across the world to build their roads and bridges and mine their gold which Americans were going for the gold rush in the 18th century and waged the Opium war on China and had China overproduce opium and kept them fed on opium and China being pushed into war against India by the US which was more convenient for the west to continue its control over China as it's production factory again in the 90s, especially with Western corporate companies utilising cheap Chinese labourers with almost zero pay to make their phones and products for them to the point where people wished to commit suicide and China being relegated as the biggest factory producer of cheap blood labour products which westerners enjoyed to its fullest content while thousands of Chinese died from unhealthy exposure and lack of management which the west utilised Chinas corruption problem to its own advantage and got multiple lavish products while disrespecting Chinese labours overall and putting the blame on China instead of the fact that the west had complete leverage over China, now that such things won't have a repeat in China anymore as it will not subordinate to western dominance and westerners lost their cheap labour factory they now call China big bad communist, even if you westerners claim China is evil does that mean westerners get to be racist and disrespect China again? Isn't the west supposed to be the moral one which isn't supposed to follow it's colonial past? It's more like we foreigners are fooled by you Westerners who will talk all convenient nonsense while getting rid of our systems and culture and traditions and picking what westerners find convenient and only accepting those who are westernised in your images and not those who don't necessarily follow the same ideals as you westerners want but I guess the freedom of speech the west claims so much about is just a lie then especially when ideas no matter how controversial which are supposed to be respected by the so called freedom of speech concepts as if the word actually implies countries and people expressing their differences while respecting them and not forcefully imposing their own into others like western culture is doing? Cause they need to be liberated? So China isn't meant to follow it's own systems based on its own culture and traditions and when the west does it it's all ok ? Especially imposing the same systems onto the rest of the world seems convenient i guess So you mean that the US if it wanted to could have been dominating the whole world and subjugate others into their culture and systems which the rest must follow, isn't that what the west is doing here exactly? The fact we are speaking English and not our own languages just proves it here, so you mean the west should have complete dominance like they did in the past then well in that case they should expect wars from other countries who will fight back with that same force and everyone can end in nuclear annihilation rather i guess, but I guess the west has to be the moral one here to be a good leader to the world yet its culture and socio-economic leverage is still there on the rest of the world, I guess it's easy to claim yourselves not as warmongers who built schools and hospitals right in return so it's all ok right? Kinda like what the British Empire did while subjugating anyone who doesn't follow their ways? So you would rather prefer the US Empire and claim that we foreigners should be dominated by the same colonisers who back in the day treated us as subhumans and lowlife peasants? It's not like the west still views us foreigners as peasants right especially when we built cheap labour products for them to use for their own leisure while we barely make any money and no food and wish to commit suicide for it which your western companies don't even spare that fate and built nets around, please we foreigners are aware of the west's nonsense and how much leverage the west has over the world and our culture and how much harm is being done for Western conveniences and you westerners obviously proved we rather live in subjugation instead of having control over our own systems and living away from the west for good

  605.  @Warsame7  agree if I'm honest these westerners talk about freedom and rights yet they don't even respect other foreign countries rights and justify attacking others claiming they are saving them, if others need to be saved they can save themselves and not need foreign intervention which isn't free in this world anyway as corporate interests does come up, Americans thinking they are saving Iraqi or Libyan women from their culture and support their oligarchs yet their handlers are making millions off stealing natural resources from foreign countries and westerners changing the laws of the country and harming the cultural and religious aspects of the nation instead of actually fixing problems by helping them provide infrastructure and jobs instead of charities which honestly is a good way to avoid taxes, the way that westerners lived all this time while never understanding or respecting the rest of the world overall culture and way of life while not even looking and questioning their own culture and it's flaws, it's very similar to the way Britishers and those other imperialistic nations were in the 1800s till 19th century and probably could care less about the atrocities their oligarchs commit kind of similar to the way Americans were during slavery era and now that everyone in their nation are getting the short end of the stick with corporatism and suffering from it they will now consider themselves as for equality as they are so called equally poor, US now use soft power to convince foreigners especially the youth of the American culture and how much positives it has while demonising the culture of the country they are from and indoctrinating everyone else into the same mentality of thinking monotonously, this factor is something i always seen in foreign nations especially youths from foreign countries like gen z who often demonise their own country while claiming how great America is while not even looking at any flaws the culture itself has, as a wise saying goes the day a nation loses its culture and language is the day it officially loses the war

  618.  @peterretep1010  well yeah many of you were ignorant, I'm not talking to you directly here other than just state the obvious, you think that just cause you were ignorant doesn't mean your not responsible for it or there should not be any form of responsibility taken by anyone? It does seem kinda an excuse to dodge all the things done by your overlords in current times, not even old times here, these changes are happening very recently with the Ukraine war and that lack of action or any care for the actions being done by the west is what's the problem here my guy especially the naiveness, you can't just be like part of a crew which basically robbed a bank and claim you were ignorant of them actually robbing a bank despite the fact these things were happening behind your backs and then expect others not to arrest you, consequences of one's actions are something that can't just be glossed over by many you know and they would do anything for those who did wrong to pay for their actions, yeah I'm not claiming the citizens are at fault completely here and they were the ones who directly did the action but many people I seen from foreign countries feel like there should be some form of responsibility which needs to be taken by those who enjoyed status and material wealth among the populace especially when it comes to your government and the people just expecting others to save them but end up getting attacked cause they were seen as the aggressors, it's just naive expecting others to just forgive one's nation cause they were ignorant cause really there are many who don't feel that way especially with people who have lost too much from the proxy wars committed by the US Empire, I mean really if you all think that responsibility doesn't need to be taken then at least pay for the reparations and damages happened to others and the debt that other nations owe to the US Empire especially when the people don't take any action against the government and how they expect others not to treat them terribly

  620.  @Time4Peace  well I may have some reservations about Chinas policy in terms of mass surveillance they have and other things like the social credit system, I didn't claim they were committing genocide against Uighurs or any ethnicity here as I do agree none of those claims could be confirmed, I only have observed it from a objective standpoint and without any propoganda bias here obviously, whether the people of China agree or not isn't something I take into account, I overall did say I don't agree with the current way China is implementing these systems and they are changing things constantly yes but there are still flaws with it regardless like with any other country( like I believe censorship is something that's required as to prevent any western influences from interfering in their support they have with the people via propaganda or various other reasons like with surveillance as to curb crime rates and various other factors) Overall China's foreign policy is something that is interesting but still questionable like allying with the Taliban i.e Mujahideens who are a controversial group who were supported by the US in the 70s against Russia and although their intentions are positive still criticisms need to be put to avoid any mass scale corruption, overall there's not much gripe I have with their policy other than not give too much weaponry in the hands of terrorists who may be a threat to various Middle Eastern countries as seen in the past with the US supporting such groups The overall history of China and it's relationship with Japan and the West is already known with how imperialism affected China at a heavy cost and I understand their perspective towards why there would be such animosity especially when the aftermath of these events were something that was still continued after WW2

  621.  @Time4Peace    about China I'm not sure how their position on things will be like really, they are developing economically but are increasing their military spending too but isn't nearly as much as the US especially in terms of cultural influences and various other factors, it also doesn't help with how people see China as especially with its controversial censorship programmes and I do have mixed feelings towards it especially when I'm not a fan of censorship either but am neutral towards things overall, yeah I agree with prosperity and all of that but overall if you are major player or leader in the geopolitical game your country's cultural and social economical ideas are going to clash and people are mixed in China's rise especially with how things are with its social credit system and other things which China has a large control off especially with surveillance and people in the west ofc not being a fan of something like that, I'm not sure with China overall but it is a mixed bag of opinions for people and it's all upon the person to decide, yeah it maybe called propaganda by westerners but overall it is hard to decide which side is right or wrong and people are stuck in between and resort to recklessness Like I did say I do agree with ur opinions on not continuing wars especially with military spending being absurdingly large at their peoples taxpayers expense but overall I'm looking at things from a realistic perspective maybe a bit of optimism but overall won't just decide things especially when it just continues the same manner after all was said and done, yeah I'm not wishing hatred on anyone here but would understand the situation we all are in with the current times
    2
  622.  @Time4Peace   sorry for the paragraphs tbh it's tedious typing it on a phone or even pc especially with YouTubes UI being terrible especially the arrangement of the comments About geopolitics, if I'm honest it really is a complicated mix of things and what our leaders do and decide is something that for the most part is beyond our control, I mean even the withdrawal in Vietnam war is arguable especially when North Vietnam had major support from the USSR in the past and the US wasn't willing to continue fighting Russian forces, if anything it's more similar to the Ukraine war now and back in the day Soviets had better technology and weaponry which the US didn't want to risk so I doubt that peoples support alone was enough for the military engine to stop involving in wars, hell even during their final years of the war they still left Vietnam scarred with agent Orange and various other herbicide warfares thus literally starving the population which wasn't even reported in the mainstream media back then , yeah I do agree with the expenditure which comes and also the people's support too at some degree but these are situations which are really rare especially when your talking about powerful people here who even today have a huge influence especially with the immigration policy pushed against Mexican immigrants or the 9/11 which involves the war in Afghanistan in the first place which they completely failed and only withdrawed the troops to avoid pointless losses The US Empire doesn't listen to public opinions out of sympathy here my guy and if I'm honest y'all are quite naive in thinking that, wars are only stopped only if it doesn't work in their favor, look at the Iraq war and how troops are still present there despite multiple protests and the Syrian war which is still continuing and Syria even struck with an Earthquake and it's people in turmoil and the war continues, many wars which are still continued by the US across the globe isn't going to stop with people alone here and the propaganda machine is surely working on Americans long enough, I don't wish for hatred to be continued but overall I'm just saying all of this with observing the current situation and the times we are living in, I don't wish hatred upon anyone ofc but overall don't see how the common people can convince their overlords to come to an understanding, especially when this war ends another will continue at another side of the planet as long as the military industrial complex keeps going, something I feel isn't just easy to stop especially with how much influences they have over others

  639.  @louissosa1535  I'm not a fan of conservative ideologies especially when westerners ironically use a mix of such ideologies which we don't accept, let us allow our own ideologies and what we believe in and not just force it down like the west does, conservatives were the same people who colonised the Red Indians and still carry that colonial mindset and carry that toxic culture with them but set standards onto others, why don't westerners just leave and give back what they stole especially when they stole too much and talk about their media being corrupted while possessing many of the blood oil from foreign countries, look at many conservative presidents like Donald Trump whom you people support who basically wanted to kick out any migrant or immigrants who had their lands stolen from the west and such western ideologies which are labelled such as conservative or liberal are all the same for us foreigners and we don't care about what ideology westerners want for themselves especially when that colonial mindset still remains within the west and we get both sides of the extreme either our systems become extremely conservative or liberal without having any scientific research or understanding towards these ideologies which the west were ironically good at in the past but now are more unscientific than ever, we at least had some hope with liberals since they shown to care for migrants but only do so if they are westernised and the same things continued, the west and it's people have just too much reckless power for them to dictate such ideologies without thinking about any consequences that will happen with traditional cultures and systems which clash with these western ideologies, we just believe the west has done enough and should leave foreign countries and stop spreading their influences everywhere and pay reparations for what they done and give back the lands they stole especially from Mexico and various other lands they stole in the past, America and the west brings up it's history of conservative vs liberal ideals onto foreigners who would just focus on improving their peoples lives first and respect any ideology no matter how controversial it is as the west only feels it should solve it's problems with violence whether it's conservative or liberal without thinking how much damages they do, we are afraid of that violent and forceful culture not what ideology you westerners follow, hell i support some conservative ideas but also support liberal ideas based on scientific research and understanding towards such concepts and not just blind faith and abandoning science like the west does and we foreigners only see more harm being on how these ideologies are introduced into our systems without proper understanding or rules which is the main issue we foreigners have, the west has too much power like I said which is used recklessly and both sides which we see a civil war happening as westerners would like to claim but still don't change their foreign policies against fellow superpowers and countries, that's the main crux is why we foreigners don't want westerners anymore especially when they are always at both sides of the extreme and don't have a proper understanding of even themselves or the world around them

  655.  @samkimmins  well as said so the main objective was always the Donbass region here and the tactic of launching an attack on the capital was more of a psychological warfare as to prevent Ukrainian military from further militarizing and to surrender with carrying out attacks from multiple regions, many of the towns which were shelled were due to Ukrainian armed forces placing military targets on civilian zones which they have been using as human shields for leverage against ground forces, Odessa isn't the major objective here as Russian forces have already applied cauldron tactics focused on gaining LPR and DPR territories, if Odessa was deemed a threat then Russia will advance onto the region like with Kherson Russia isn't willing to fight a major war here if it would means causing conflicts with NATO forces in Ukraine which they aren't willing to risk nuclear escalation with and risking civilian lives on the regions, it is obvious the west has shown it's imperialistic nature to foreign nations in Asia and South America with NATO expansion towards the east and Balkan regions which they have constantly waged war against and toppled their governments and many warnings were given by Russia to the West not to expand an inch which the west continually provokes other superpowers, China already had good relations with Russia and both parties have mutually benefited with Russia spearheading relations with India and Iran, all the west has managed to do is put its own economy into recession worsened by the COVID situation while possessing no natural resources and buying from third world and leveraging resources at cheaper prices, if you westerners can't see the fact that your western oligarchs are arming Nazis like Azovs who have been documented before by western sources ironically and continuing to militarizing bases in foreign nations like Japan and Hawaii then maybe you are just asking to be seen as the aggressor by foreign countries

  675. ​ @haniahannslew4108  ​​well the West doesn't believe in different worldviews and culture and ideals which aren't monotonous and have differences and they have decided to enforce their mentality and beliefs onto other countries and cultures even ruining them completely in the process all for westerners like yall to live in those countries and enjoy status from those countries cheap labour and blood oil and live with their ways never being challenged by other cultures and ideologies and flaws which are inherent in western systems never being questioned and enforce others into submission if they fight back for their self preservation the West certainly never changed from the colonial times other than having the best marketing strategies which ensure people be enslaved like before without any bloodshed on their sides like the great wars were and we foreigners have to live the same monotonous systems that the West believes in and implement those systems on our own systems which gets rejected instead for Western conveniences, if anything the west certainly has built a monotonous system which it can find and monopolize from and other countries have no choice but to follow or end up being sanctioned and face the consequences, the colonial masters still continue their legacy but with westerners who are propagandised into believing their actions are altruistic yet still remains egoistic in nature regardless, that egoistic altruism certainly is used as a pretext to cause chaos and wars like 9/11 and the West certainly continues its colonial history like their ancestors did

  676. 2
  677. ​ @antonyjh1234  you mean to say that American systems help other systems even though the systems they implement are no different from the western systems anyway? How are the systems having any familiarity with the culture and ideals and traditions of those respective countries especially when all the system is to them is foreign at best and is the same monotonous system that the West wants other countries to forcibly implement and any other worldviews or ideals countries have usually ends up with them being sanctioned and cut off from the world trade which is controlled by the West inherited from the British Empire anyways, you westerner talking about different ideas to be supported yet are hypocritical enough to lie through the fact that the "ideals" you talk about are westernised at best and doesn't appear "different" like you westerner claim, it anything it's a monotonous system at best which westerners would obviously want to enforce and play world police on the rest of the world and anyone thinking differently or having their culture and ideals different from the Western Empire are subjugated forcefully like Iraq Afghanistan Syria Yugoslavia Vietnam Libya Haiti and various other countries, it's easy for westerners too to live in foreign countries where they will have familiar cultures and ideals instead of their worldviews challenged by other cultures and ideals which brings out flaws in the western systems which the West obviously doesn't want to accept and want to project their ways onto others

  774. Sir Ukraine claims Russia withdraw it's troops from its territories while they can't even demilitarize their right wing groups like Azovs and Banderites which if Russia withdrew will continue to shell the Donbass region like they did since 2014 and carry out cultural genocide removing the Russian language from schools in pro Russian settlements in their own backyard? Seems very convenient for Ukraine here You westerners are still so self deluded thinking Ukraine is going to win despite it still hasn't even approached the Donbass region or laid any claims to any territory on Lugansk or Donetsk regions and keeps shelling those regions and blaming it on Russia which those territories are pro Russian in the first place, you are right about Ukraine not being a real nation especially when they had lost their sovereignty way before with the maidan coup they carried and cut off relations with the pro Russian government being toppled with western interference and now remaining a puppet regime run by Zelensky who himself is leveraged by CIA with his offshore bank accounts revealed by the Pandora papers and him acting according to western interests and right wing groups also taking advantage of the situation which Russia wants gone to prevent any threats against Russian ethnicities, the delusions isn't going to work for long if the west itself is directly involving sending NATO forces with the Kharkov offensive being a temporary victory, Russia still hasn't fully mobilized yet as to prevent any civilian casualties unlike Ukraine which stations it's military weaponry directly in civilian zones making them a target and as a human shield too, Ukraine lost its negotiating power with Russia especially when they still haven't had any territorial gains in the Donbass which they have yet to show for

  945. ​​​​ @blackdragonwolve8317 ​​​ It is a monopoly indeed that there aren't many competition for steam outside of companies selling their own games privately as Steam itself has made themselves as a brand for people to sell their products from, digitalising games itself makes them inaccessible and temporary not allowing you to own a permanent copy like a disk does In the past you didn't have to pay subscriptions every month to keep your game while you could have paid one time for a CD which many devices are removing it as to avoid people from keeping storage of their games permanently, there used to be many retail stores which promoted their brand while helping advertise physical copies for games but people aren't allowed to own permanent copies of the games they pay for nowadays theres a real reason why people resort to piracy especially when corporations don't seek to have an equal ground or give people equal opportunities to own games they pay for, piracy wouldn't have been a thing if corporations didn't stop us from having permanent ownership of the product we purchased or say have a large monopoly on the market as to leave other brands behind, a company can only have too much power till people start deciding they could rather get their products from third parties then pay subscription based services or say have only one brand been known It's been the same way even before digital marketing was a thing as instead of Steam there was GameStop which had a larger monopoly than other retail companies, things haven't changed but just made worse on purpose and people wonder why we resort to piracy again as we actually get what we pay for via paying the ISP and not just adding more fees from corporations who claim to provide us proper services but don't give us the services we pay for

  975. It's not even about morality anymore, it's more about the nature of people themselves and how they have stooped so low they will be seek pleasure from people who only do this for the sake of putting a roof over their house, many people if I'm honest in modern times are predatory especially when it comes to how if given an opportunity will surely exploit someone if they suffer no consequences for it, our culture which constantly pushes women and men to sell themselves in onlyfans for the sick pleasures of others who themselves are either antisocial with zero social skills to get pleasures from people via mutualistic understanding which is lacking on todays society as it's more like about screwing others and forgetting about them, and then you get people who make millions off such businesses and especially off youngsters who are given huge promises to participate in jobs like these, i mean stuff like Epsteins island itself is an example of how the rich take advantage of such a system which doesn't even protect its own citizens from predatory powerful people and justifies such a culture which has done nothing but physically and mentally ruin the youths who are used by the old, prostitution are jobs which come from the old century ways of how women or men who have gotten freedom can be allowed to sell themselves for money no different than slavery which obviously exists in poorer countries which the rich exploit, it's our culture and government which allowed all this instead of improving peoples lives and giving them employment which doesn't lead them to them suffering for the sake of avoiding living in poverty, the nature of sex work overall have been to seek pleasure from those who seek money and those who are addicted to sex due to excessive hormonal changes which being taken advantage off by people

  987.  @GreyKing69  I'm sure it is understood right really, newsflash you can get addicted to anything which brings satisfaction and really giving people just more choice and saying they will be protected even though the person doesn't want to be protected and gets exploited despite gaining money isn't a good thing really and especially with the rich will have no limits in any business as long as money is involved, let's be real one of the main reasons why people choose prostitution is really because of money and that you can demand any price tag on a person, other than that people can just freely have sex with whomever they want and ask no money really and prostitution has shown many times that it has no limits even with protection as the example with Epstein island really, and again with a personal level no person would put their kin onto such a business and only as a desperate measure as really personally it destroys relationships with people and others of any age or relations like a friend or kin like uncle can choose to use the person for the sake of money and really people only accept it as a desperate measure sake not as something the person wants really, if the person wants sex they can just go freely hookup or have a good relation with that person not ask money and do it for the sake of it, it turns the person into nothing but a product which can be used by any other person regardless of whether it's moral or not, it's nothing but slave labour for women and children especially when they involve contraceptives where it's shown to ruin their physical health and have permanent side effects and also gets them addicted to sex which they continue to fall in

  1001.  @thegirlsilove  How does prostitution mitigate any abuse here ? If we live in a society where sex trafficking and other crimes against women are involved it just shows the incompetency of the government which is meant to protect its citizens from such exploitation, it just shows how people still haven't left the old century ways where women didn't even have rights let alone have jobs which doesn't involve them being exploited and it's no different from modern times here and instead of the opposite sex suffering for others pleasures it's more about everyone from all races and gender selling themselves equally for the sick pleasures of people, it still doesn't eradicate exploitation overall which the government is meant to do yet people are sick enough to seek pleasures at the expense of others, i mean Epstein island itself is an example of how modern culture failed the youths and the system which allowed all this and continues to allow people who seek exploitation to continue their voices and censor those who speak against it, the fact of the matter is the nature of sex work itself is exploitative whether people like it or not and it is an industry which involves physical and mental harm to those who involve their bodily functions to be ruined with contraceptives and surgery for sex appeal especially in the porn industry which is notorious for exploitation, people selling their bodies for the sake of money should never have been a thing especially in modern times where the ways of the old century like slavery and other exploitative jobs are slowly eradicated for people to lead prosperous lives, such an industry offers nothing to contribute to society other than satisfy the sick pleasures of people who seek to enjoy at the expense of others, work should never be at the expense of a persons physical and mental health and we already have technological marvels which are already replacing jobs which were harmful for people to conduct and this should be no different and people should seek more mutualistic ideals which benefits people positively yet we live in times where things like these are purposefully kept away from the people for the sake of the rich who enjoy all the wealth in the world at the expense of others and research which is meant to improve peoples lives are only available for the elites, if anything it shows the failure of modern culture and the government which is meant to help the people here instead of putting them through jobs like these which only allows exploitation

  1154.  @QuentinKLEau  i mean the concept does sound good but has flaws in regards to how it will be conducted especially when privatising everything has shown to be disastrous especially when on the medical sector it should not be about competition especially when it comes to saving lives and any research should be done extensively as to avoid shortening of facilities available for the average citizen, like example in various hospitals especially private ones they provide you with different levels of comfort and how you recover will depend entirely upon the environment you are in, i seen people who barely get a decent sized bed to recover after a surgery and they often are placed in uncomfortable positions as leverage against the families of those affected and force them to pay more as to gain more profits or those cases of vaccines for viruses like Rabies or Polio or even the recent COVID and other terrible diseases which not taken at the earliest is fatal now being expensive enough for people not being able to afford thus many forcibly choosing between being in debts or their lives and the fact the person life is being treated as a price tag in the medical sector and it's the same with any sectors which involves physical labor where you are determined and given basic needs based on your work even water in some hospitals are price taged and really it shows how dangerous and reckless these policies will be if capitalism was applied on the wrong manner with human lives, yes artificial products like with entertainment and other consumption related sectors like food products which don't involve physical or mental human health can be considered under privatisation but also with similar quality management as the FDA does as not to have health effects, but with lives and resources which determines development of an nation should not have corporate elements into it especially when it's dangerous for the people causing civil unrest and wars eventually

  1157.  @jedisenpei855  can you cite your sources as to why you think Ukrainian morale is high especially when they have lost majority of their forces at the start of the conflict? Many of the commanders you claim are long gone from the conflict and any losses you claim Russia has suffered Ukraine has suffered even threefold or more, Russia already knows the topography of Ukraine especially when Ukraine formerly was from the Soviet Union and it would be ridiculous to assume they wouldn't know their own land which they were part of the country itself ? Maybe you don't understand the fact that many being mobilized in Russia have former military backgrounds and they aren't just average citizens who are just thrown into the conflict like Ukraine is doing? Ukraine in the first few months of the conflict already had a lower morale than Russia did and were lacking military gear and resources as to rely completely on US and EU as a proxy against Russia, even going as far as to salvage Russian MRE as many of the supplies they had had been poorly made or spoiled due to long hours of trying to hold off Russian military, how using nukes will be bad for Russia whereas it will be bad for literally everyone and all you will be doing is assuring mutual destruction which Russia isn't willing to do unless NATO being directly involved which will be a complete violation of the UN charter, you westerners make it obvious you like to be loud and spout our nonsense which your broader public, so maybe come up with factual information instead of being childish and claiming Ukraine is winning as it's far from touching Donbass let alone dream of reclaiming Crimea with its nazi regime which you westerners love to support Nazis of course

  1176. Ukraine isn't even close to annexing Donbass let alone try to annex other regions and even Crimea which it boldly claims it can annex, it's obvious Russia is conducting fixing operations and letting temporary losses on slide as to prevent Ukraine from contact with Donbass which it's only cowardly managed to shell various areas of Donetsk, the partial mobilization has shown to be continuing and unless Ukraine tries gaining any territory on Donbass which even if has few areas of Donetsk still has a long way to go against Russia which can claim it back with reinforcements and support creating a buffer zone between Ukraine and Donbass, the nuclear threat is obviously towards the west with how any further escalation and interference by Western forces will lead to use of nuclear weapons as NATO has no jurisdiction on foreign soil, as for referendums being tampered with,you people forget the fact that many of those regions have majority of ethnic Russians and few Ukrainian and other ethnic groups so the majority vote isn't going to be fabricated especially with how Ukraine for these past 8 years has been treating the Russian ethnic by censoring their language and replacing Ukrainian as the primary language in schools, warping history of the Soviet Union even if claimed to be evil as according to westerners is still denying history while shelling regions of Donetsk and Lugansk republics, by these factors it's obvious why many would choose to join Russia than stay behind corrupt leaders in Ukraine who have been shown to have offshore bank accounts with the Pandora papers being leaked and various other corruption scandals known locally by the public

  1189. Well really we are living in war times and emotions are going to be at all time high here and ethics will be thrown off the roofs let alone wish for people to try to survive, the reality is in this world no matter how people look at it people could even be framed for a crime and serve years of their lives inside a cell as to satiate others revenge against a person or a country, we will surely see more unethical cases like these pop up now and then especially with the nature of this war both countries will be putting peoples lives at risk just to prove a message against each other, in wartime this is the harshest truth and the least we citizens could so is to prevent getting in such situations as to piss off other countries or be careful around overall as Russia or any other country like the US could be willing to put you under the bus if it serves their interests really especially when it comes to millions of people lives interests, so we should avoid any such mentality from breeding into the minds of the populace especially when in these times with the internet many keep falling onto these mentality and trapped thinking monotonously of how they want to commit crimes against Ukrainians or Ukrainians against Russians harbouring hatred towards each other for no reason other than to satiate their selves, let's hope with the BRICS initiative countries will actually put up ethical rules for countries joining as to prevent such sociopathic tendencies among the leaders or the citizens who understandably affected by war or trauma as is with poorer countries often can at least improve on mistakes compared to the artificial alliance carried by the US which has forgotten ethics conveniently for each nations as to keep their foothold on the world order

  1252. Ok you claim the Russian military does not have enough sufficient resources but the same could be said to Ukraine especially when their military numbers have gotten so low as to allow women to be conscripted into the war in this recent October, that claims of demoralised amateurs while Russia is mobilising men who have former military backgrounds and have had been in the Russian military in the past, such claims are nothing but outlandish trying to disinform the public about it so nice try, the losses you claim while Ukrainian military suffers much more significant losses and have already depleted their Soviet Era military which they had better knowledge off than the western equipment which they have zero training knowledge off isn't looking good for Ukraine here, the slow burn effect of "sanctions " is affecting Europe more than Russia here you westerners seem to forget that it seems and even if Russia is suffering those effects it will probably cover up all the losses with better relations with foreign nations which the west has constantly disappointed them with The morale claims which you mentioned should be applied the same towards Ukraine especially when they were able to gain all that territory back after six months of fighting which are just temporary wins as Russia still has the Donbass region which was the main primary focus of the special military operation, so dubious claims of Russian morale loosing while not even looking in the mirror with Ukrainian losses and even going as far as to mobilize women to replace the lost men who had better knowledge and training over 8 years since 2014 which in this case Ukraine can't hope to win let alone dream of taking back Crimea now Claims of forced military service while Ukraine is almost lost its military trying to replace it's military numbers with Ukrainian women and all that NATO equipment having no training of it shows how Russia could take over Ukraine sooner but chooses to delay as to prevent civilian casualties which also is another priority of the special military operation to avoid as much loss of life as possible which NATO constantly tries to indoctrinate its own foreign legion forces which are getting decimated by Russia systematically Russian economy is far from collapse here especially with the support of Chechen forces and Belarus and the rest of the world in favor of the special military operation against Nazism which you westerners constantly supply weapons to , the only economic collapse will be of the EU which has driven its economy into suicide by cutting its own energy supplies with so called "sanctions" which the US has successfully deindustrialized EU with

  1260.  @LeadLeftLeon  judging by how well advanced the Russian military was in the old USSR days and how even today some European countries like Slovakia or Germany still prefer Soviet Era weaponry with how cheaper and sufficient it is to use than NATO equipment which is expensive due to political reasons in the US and bureaucracy involved overall and production also being very limited as the US chose to have more attention on quality than quantity, Ukraine in all honesty isn't in the same position as Vietnam where they had the topography and geological distance from Russia being closer with contacts from China which also close with Vietnam provide them with reinforcements which gives them sufficient advantage over South Vietnam which still was much further away from the US, Ukraine still has to take weeks if not months to gain newer NATO equipment which Russia targets directly and keeps track of any further intervention from NATO via their foreign legion forces or other NATO personnel establishing bases to train new recruits, Ukraine in this war hasn't been able to gain nearly enough territory as much as Russia did judging by the timeframe it took to finally launch an NATO-assisted offensive after six months of fighting so it's unlikely Ukraine has any advantage over Russia especially when short-sighted victories may boost morale but not understand the long term implications of how the war will go, especially when Russia has already started mobilizing men from former military backgrounds to be trained within weeks which is more than sufficient enough to conduct another offensive against Ukraine, Ukraine even if it does mobilize women in this conflict wouldn't nearly be enough to cover up the losses they suffered in the initial months of this conflict especially when training them and providing them knowledge of how NATO equipment should be operated will take more time than what they have currently

If they were really soldiers belonging to the Ukrainian army and enlisted as you claim Russia will have no reason to put them in a official trial for crimes against humanity and declare them as mercenaries, it's really doubtful that these men histories are real as the west has shown time again to fabricate various profiles of mercenaries and spies in the past and these men now go around trying to gain "fame" by appearing in various news media outlets and the interview between Graham Phillips and Aiden was censored for some reason especially when Aiden was willing to testify against the crimes carried out by Ukraine in the Donbass region and even stated there was good relations with Russian law enforcement cracking jokes with them despite the lies spread by the west and why don't you mention anything about one of them participating in the Syrian war? Probably doesn't look convenient for you westerners, This so called motivation that these men have to "protect" their country doesn't look plausible at all especially with the background stated above about participating in war on Syria and censorship about their interviews continuing in the west and why not have Russia or UN investigate about their backgrounds as stated it's not wrong to do so, really these men were in uncharted territories in the past and present and their history is quite questionable so there is reason to suspect ulterior motives especially when during war disinformation among people is the main objective for respective forces against each other and it's quite working with well for the west

  1279.  @bdd2195  well really this is war and these losses were always known to occur during such conditions and love how you westerners never stated any losses from the Ukrainian side as losses are threefold and so high that they are even drafting women into the war by this October as they have ran out of civilians, compare that to the losses by the US during their so called Iraq and Afghanistan invasion which you westerners still support and justify which the losses on the western side over the course of many years piled up on more than thousands while you wiped millions of Iraqis soldiers and civilians and not to mention Vietnam war which the US has suffered significant losses around the same as Russia around 50k also invading North Vietnam and civilians protested against the losses suffered just like Russians are, the war is very similar with the exception of now Russia which will soon win this war with the 300k mobilized troops which had sufficient military training in the past compared to Ukraine throwing civilians onto the front with a few weeks of training which nearly doesn't qualify for an infantryman which they also have to use advanced weaponry requiring further training, western media loves to claim how they fought back Russia while their NATO forces are the ones who secretly pretending as Ukrainians or foreign legion forces lead the offensive against Russia, so it's obvious many of the Ukrainian forces have ran out of men and only fighting with NATO forces who had sufficient training to operate the equipment that Ukrainians fail to use correctly due to lack of training

  1300.  @awpetersen5909  you claim Russia to do these practices of pushing Russians onto foreign countries yet you won't mention anything about other countries like Britain doing the same as many ethnicities also share British ancestry in Ukraine in the past? Why the double standards then? It's obvious throughout history countries choose to rejoin with various nations as they share similar cultures or with different reasons, claiming Russia is using soft power to exploit other nations while they have better multicultural states together helping Russia progress which the west constantly denies by cutting off Russian contact with foreign countries like Syria or Afghanistan which could have been a direct link for trade relations with Europe which it had a positive relation with like Germany which betrayed it anyways with Sanctions by US, if you westerners can't see the soft power imperialism carried by the US i can't explain much here to change your minds, the US has been doing the same thing with Taiwan which had a good relation with China yet turning it into an enemy against it even if they share cultural relations with, you westerners can't seem to understand that countries share cultural and social relations with each other and willing to join which in this case you could explain about the relations with Ireland and Scotland with the United Kingdom which many still want to leave yet aren't able to, why can't you westerners mention anything about those nations then? It's pretty double standards when you mention about a country's history as them doing something evil while you can't look at your own states which have the same flaws which you don't correct and lecture other states and interfere in their affairs, if you claim Russia is invading under the pretext of liberating ethnicities, then does it make it right to give those who were oppressing those ethnicities more weapons like providing weapons to Neo Nazis like Azovs or Banderites fascists in Ukraine? And make billions off this conflict by corporate lobbyists who are getting richer day by day?

  1473. 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

  1563.  @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

  1575.  @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

  1588.  @davidw.2467  the scary part is that countries although they would put anti western rhetoric to gain power over their own people which in turn the west makes sure the country is reliant on them completely, the British Empire did that to a lot of countries with the same system which is applied today like in India where they had implemented state owned companies like the East India company which had invested a lot of shares in India and the same concept was implemented in African colonies with the slave trade and the Opium war was caused by the British using South Asian countries as a medium to supply large numbers of Opium to the black market indirectly attacking the populace, these systems are essentially centuries old and still are implemented in modern times with companies like Amazon, Google and many other organisations even if they claim to be autonomous still work for the US indirectly and could withdraw their services in an instant if a country acts hostile against western interests like they did with Russia like when they invaded Ukraine to get rid of western influences and them being directly near Russian borders putting them directly on risk, not justifying Russia's actions but the west and other superpowers surely have had negative intentions in the past and still have to maintain their western Empire which never died out as history claims, hell half the people on western countries who had colonial ancestors now enjoy better status and wealth living off privately away from the worlds problems

  1590.  @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

  1605.  @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

  1606.  @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

  1611.  @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

  1612.  @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

  1648. ​​ @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

  1649.  @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

  1660.  @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

  1661.  @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

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

  1682.  @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

  1686. 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

  1688.  @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

  1689.  @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

  1691.  @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

  1696.  @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

  1706.  @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
  1707.  @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

  1725.  @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
    1
  1726.  @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

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

  1753. ​ @nessi777 hahahaha please stop westerner, this concept of freedom expression and all western rhetotic is nothing but false rhetorics for westerners to take control of other countries and assimilate them into their Empire, please don't have us foreigners fooled with these altruistism and positive big talks, the west is hypocritical in the sense it doesn't do anything that is good and only does so while calculating which party benefits from it, it chooses who benefited from it rather than doing it out of altruistic intentions, all Empires have been colonial and still will be colonizers as long as they want power over other countries and will fight their competitors and other superpowers who themselves are colonizers and smaller countries are stuck in the middle forced to choose sides or end up being desecrated there is no true freedom other than those who benefit from that freedom and allow them freedom and the least smaller countries can do is withdraw themselves from the rest of the world for good and look after themselves and not have selfish corrupt leaders running their country like before this altruistic ideals of countries wanting to help other countries has shown to only weaken other countries and abandon their culture and history for the victors convenience, if the west really wants to help the rest of the world, then abandon all their stolen wealth from foreign countries and give it back to where they stole it from, let countries have their own autonomy on what systems they would like to implement and look for betterment for each of their own people, countries don't have to play world police and act like heroes as we foreigners have already seen enough of it and it's better for countries to have their own autonomy than ever rely on other foreign superpowers

  1817.  @Gnashercide  the video itself explains it perfectly of how their economy is dependent on colonial unequal exchanges and them serving any western interests The Unequal exchanges that was told in the video could be applied to Russia in the 90s too where many corrupt Russian oligarchs ripped off their state and escaped to guess what your Nordic nations where they enjoyed high status as they were able to afford better housing on those nations Many former Ukrainian state officials and many other former Soviet states escaped from the illegal dissolution of USSR have a lot of property assets in many Nordic and EU countries you claim where they are free of persecution or any form of extradition from the former Soviet states Even after the dissolution of the Soviets the ruble still is fixed on an unequal exchange against the Euro which is directly from the west helping corrupt Soviet state officials and the EU easily for years till 2022 were able to afford cheap Russian gas and oil at the detriment of the Russian people while the EU keeps talking about their "social benefits" and how happy their countries are while in reality that happiness came from the mistery of the Soviets and other countries across the globe If that isn't colonialism that idk what can be told especially when the same practices are seen by EU countries on other foreign nations under the guise of "free market" and capitalism is used as a weapon by the western Empires to be introduced on foreign countries to "trade" (more like sell) off their assets at a cheaper rate to foreign corporations while the value of the resources of the exploited country is all determined by the colonizers instead of the exploited nation having any autonomy on deciding their resources values which if done (like nationalizing their state assets like Gaddafi did in Libya) the western Empire whines about how they are being very "authoritarian" and controlling while they are mad about not being able to control the poor nation ofc Nations aren't poor they are made poor by the western Empire which you people keep claiming isn't colonial but again with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, your peoples and your leaders true colours and allegiances are seen 😂

  1819.  @sourdough6490      well again you seem to forget the material conditions of the Soviets that they had during the times of the revolution and the great war, the NEP policies directly lead to the creation of the Kulaks which although was originally supposed to carry on a industrial revolution of their own which also includes collectivisation that Stalin did, so the Kulaks were opportunists who took advantage of a already agrarian country and tried monopolizing their resources which they should be held accountable for and you can't claim the Soviets methods were harsh especially when the Gulags they were sent in were much better than anything the US regime has with proper healthcare and basic necessities fulfilled You can't really call yourself a Leninist if you don't ever consider the material conditions that were present in the Soviet Union, the social democrats and the Mensheviks directly were in collaboration with the Tsars again the Bolsheviks which required the kind of policing against any monopolistic tendencies among the masses created by remaining Tsar royalists who were still not educated enough on class consciousness and had a lot of petit bourgeois class created cause of the NEP policies Again the NEP itself was a huge compromise done by the Soviets who were directly facing serious invasion threats from foreign powers and were exhausted fighting the civil war against the White Army Speaking of which you seem to forget the Jim Crow era where black people were literally lynched and hunted down for minor crimes especially when the KKK movement was much larger than today so the CIA is nothing compared to how the US was before the 1950s so there's literally no comparison made against the Soviets who actually tried to maintain a working class socialist state and tried to prevent any opportunists from gaining monopoly over especially when many of them were outright funded by foreign powers especially with the black markets always been a challenge after they abolished private property and carried out collectivisation policies There's literally no evidence of any kind of misuse of class power in the Soviet Union other than very rare cases which only happened during the harshest times like the famine, the war with Nazis and after the period following the civil war While the US regime actively chose to commit human rights violations and still do to this day and break the record against any country present, especially against black people and minorities and in foreign countries where their war crimes are infamous and documented already, the Soviets really had no serious history of human rights violations other than defensive and retaliatory measures they had taken while facing constant threats from the US regime and Nazi Germany which sought to exterminate their entire race I'm sorry but the history regarding red terror,the implementation of certain policies which you claim have been violent are all propagandistic made to demonize the Soviets as no different than the US regime which they are far from being called that

  1854. I'm sorry but your country was never great since it's inception when it was created in 1947 and did not exist before the British Empire created it, western academics have always stated that India is one of the most invaded countries in the world and due to its discriminatory caste system and the typical class capitalist system it's left hundreds of millions impoverished and in fact created as worse circumstances as the British Empire in regards to how they managed their state They were looted from imperialists from the US regime and were made richer by the state Capitalist USSR which although wasn't nearly as worse as the western powers they still did not help anything with the conditions of the old century systems of the Indian subcontinent other than make the bourgeois high caste elites of the previous kingdoms richer The Indian subcontinent always had dark days and still does to this day which Indians sadly never acknowledge while current Indians flauntly claim that they had dark days while in reality choose to ignore the hundreds of millions of people they abandoned for decades on purpose and made the overpopulation crisis significantly worse than before At least China which in fact suffered from direct extermination by the Japanese and severe famine policies which lead to their overpopulation crisis even if they had better circumstances they are much more united in their cause while Indians due to their backwards culture still don't look for long term solutions like the Chinese did and are still doing even if they are state capitalist in nature

  1882.  @sourdough6490  your last point about insistence on building socialism in an agrarian country is literally just dismissal of the fact that in developed countries, socialism was met with fascism like the video you see there, you seem to use the argument of socialism in all countries and claim that the Soviets should have kept waiting for the Germans and other Scandinavian countries to be successful in their socialist revolution, but the reality was far from what was idealised and only the Soviets went ahead with building socialism in one country as Marxism still never had a true answer towards Fascism Expecting socialism to be developed on advanced countries is still a pipe dream which socialists still fail to understand as Fascism at those times in every country crushed any serious revolutionary potential that was carried, ask the Paris commune how their revolution went and the German revolution too, they were met with fascists who completely dismantled their organisation all because they never built up any serious organisation and a sufficient military force or created any dictatorship of the Proliteriat to enact these forces Lenin and the Soviets were successful as they had developed a proper organisation which was harsh enough to combat Fascism which was exactly the solution back then and the same thing done by Stalin who implemented the teachings of Lenin into practice,Fascism crushed any serious Marxist movement and still does to this day put out any working class movement, and making concessions with the bourgeois never ended well for the revolutionaries and even small scale attacks towards the bourgeois is pointless especially when the bourgeois has always had enough military power to put them down too The Soviets had a stricter police force and anti capitalist ideology as they understood that any form of monopoly created by opportunists within the working class itself has in the past led to many socialist states collapsing like with Vietnam which turned revisionist after Ho Chi Minh died but even then their policies towards those arrested was not nearly close to being as worse as the US Empire which still to this day employs prison labour with no benefits, insufficient healthcare as prisoners usually die of curable diseases and serious gang violence within the prisons themselves which is encouraged by law enforcement within as to justify harsher sentences while for the Soviets the so called "Gulags" the sentencing did not even last 10-20 years and only worst offenders of the state actually got serious sentences and all the while they received free healthcare, education systems being employed and other stuff which never gets mentioned in the "horrors of the Gulags" The Soviets only had poorer conditions in the Gulags during the times of the famine or during ww2 where there was serious food shortages and thousands of prisoners died cause of it which these separate incidents are obviously propagandized to make the Soviets obviously look like the boogeyman, sure there were some serious flaws within the Soviet policing systems but considering the situations they were in and then claiming they should be held completely accountable for circumstances beyond their control is just false rhetoric used by the capitalists obviously to demonize any socialist states from the past

  1943. It disgusts me that westerners talk about countries spending for their own self defence while their corporations colonize their country and allow corrupt leaders to take advantage off their own people and create discriminatory systems like the caste system, and it is also disgusting from the discriminatory leaders of India who created circumstances where people would breed like crazy all to gain some decent life from poverty and leave large numbers of populations similar to how China suffered from the same problem, all that large numbers to be slave labourers for foreign corporations and colonizers who obviously have all the stolen wealth from those countries in the first place, and corrupt leaders who are more than willing to sell their own people and create discriminatory systems like the caste system and screw their own people over and create backward religious beliefs as to keep them backwards, it's a good thing China staved off western colonialism and cut themselves off from the rest of the world and created laws to prevent overpopulation although it is harsher on the people of those countries, yet also suffer from systems which are discriminatory and from taking notes from western colonialism now carry out neo colonialism on African countries and other smaller nations, all in an effort to gain back what the western Empire stole from them yet in that ruin other countries and to gain power like the west has, if anything it's just colonizers fighting colonizers and the majority of the world sucking off to the western Empire while others nations who staved off from western colonialism are also becoming colonizers themselves

  1998. @prav_5778  typical deflection of the problems that been happening and ignored on purpose Just admit you shill for the rich and that's why you seem to care so much about peoples feelings being hurt more than understanding the reality of what's happening, the truth is that these people didn't take any serious stance to change their impending situation and you act like the government isn't just being run by elites and you claim "it's just bad times" nonsense as if shit like this wouldn't and hasn't happened repeatedly throughout these few years, the COVID was a good example, the Ohio train derailment and a whole town being evacuated is a good example So don't use this bullshit excuse of good times bad times nonsense especially when the whole system itself is rotten which people have been told for decades to bring any significant changes but they choose to ignore it like they will this crisis too and you only embarrass yourself shilling for the elites actions which led to this problem And you whine about others being hypocrites too while never looking in the mirror first, these people took no action for years until it came right at their doorstep and now they complain about it despite the fact they had years of warnings and ample time to take serious action against their countrys imperialist actions while leaving their people starved too It's the peoples inaction and that we expose their hypocrisy over the fact that we are supposed to care about their feelings while they didn't care anything before or didn't bother to until it was right in their foots which we are now indifferent towards their feelings as they should have known years ago

  2047.  @Anonymous------  basically WW1 is culmination of centuries imperialism where colonizing nations like Britain and Germany who used to colonise various third world continents like Africa or Asia came in confrontation against each other for land and resources from poor nations as well a king after oppressing other nations finds an equal match and this culmination had been building up for decades until they found a reason to fight against each other via small proxy countries i.e Austria and Serbia with the assassination being a spark in flaming the war, many conflicts of European countries against each other like British, Portuguese and French colonies came to be and Germany being a new competitor waged war as to be at the top wanting to replace Britain and you know what happened later on with ww2 being just a continuation of the same thing with no difference but Britain being tired of the conflict and America taking over it's place, Germany already exhausted itself with WW1 so America took over and Russia too which Russia already was powerful since the 18th - 19th century and now brought down in the late 20th century by so called "American" ideals which drove corrupt Russian officials to split for money of course, similar thing which happened to Germany which the US did with corporate lobbyists in Nazi Germany seeing the results of their leader, it's obvious US now wants to get rid of all the competition as to be at the top and already won over the world with their culture being everywhere across the world and many countries not even following their own culture especially among the youth who are lured in, ofc now China and Russia wanting to stop this from happening are demonised by their own people with how they survived while praising US culture as perfect with no flaws despite far from it, culture affects a country more than anything in modern times and it's especially true with how people in poorer countries are demotivated with their own culture and want to follow what's popular without thinking about any flaws in that culture, the US empire thrives off other poorer nations while have no blood on their hands while having others do the dirty work while countries like China or Russia having no knowledge from the rest of the world thrived off via cannibalism of their economy trying to adopt a system which was supposed to be beneficial for the people but lacked resources or technology to bring that system into working and also the rest of the world supportive of western culture depriving these countries of trade and knowledge, in the past we never would have learnt anything about these countries or their culture with how the American public living off the so called "American dream" ignorant of the horrors their oligarchs commited to keep them in their safe zones without the internet which ironically has been both boon and bane for the west

  2049. Basically it's like having private henchmen work as drug peddlers while you give them immunity, the west literally steals all the natural resources from poor nations like Mexico by having illegal cartel businesses work in specific areas to grow cocaina leaves from Mexican soil and then process it into cocaine and sell it to the west which the so called savior of US DEA one of the most corrupt institutions on the world seizes all the drugs and money from cartel members using them as a disposable tool to gain billions to keep those rich oligarchs working in DEA offices happy while they stole billions of resources i.e drugs from Mexico seized and not returned to the country, it's quite obvious the war on drugs is nothing but soft power imperialism trying to justify stealing natural resources from poor communities and leaving the agricultural lands of those nations barren which the cartel members i.e private businesses create excess of the same product which leads to other agricultural lands having shortages for the country to remain poor with them having no sufficient food supply due to majority of their lands used up, the Americans justify seizing up all the hard work their cartel members did while having them steal from Mexico their own country and gaining billions from this, really its not a war on drugs it's a war on Mexico and it's people and other countries which US uses their natural resources by having proxies take up land and use them up with no actual required resources for the poor

  2110.  @notafantbh  well doesn't mean the west should interfere in foreign nations and their system and affairs they carry out via war or aggression which is exactly what westerners don't get, you could have a dictatorship and a country still could be sustainable, even good kings have run their kingdoms well, it doesn't really matter what system you take approach as long as the people in charge don't share any understanding with the people and their culture, instead of trying to change the culture and ideals of foreign nations why not respect or understand their perspective instead of attacking them, who are you westerners to judge how Russia or China should lead their countries especially unlike them they at least dont go around waging wars on foreign nations under the name of "democracy" and only retaliate if their economic or trade relations are hampered like with Syria being a direct partner to Russia for contact with Europe and having better cooperation overall, you westerners can keep your culture to yourselves instead of forcing it on others claiming they are a threat when the so called free world still has the largest GDP and power in the world and is hampering it's competitors instead of having mutual cooperation like other nations are doing which you westerners never want to accept, aggression towards any side will never end any conflicts here and we should try understanding the perspectives of those nations rather than say all nations bad, in the end those who are powerful aren't going to give their power easily and we should hopefully try to change their minds on bringing mutual prosperity instead of having this mindset of being against each other at a stage where nuclear annihilation will be at any point in time if one person does the wrong move

  2125.  @tonypeterson5316   the thing is back in the day the US had backed up the Republic of China and not the Chinese communist party where they had relocated to Taiwan after suffering the defeat in the civil war between western backed Republic of China and Chinese communist party backed by Russia, so the period you mentioned of the west trying to integrate China into their international market was specifically due to competition against other South Asian countries like Vietnam and Korea which the US failed on the war and it happened around in the 70s too where Asian countries were just starting to industrialise, Russia did have border disputes but mostly with the western backed forces of the ROC, the trade relations between both countries were in a positive light especially with many of the Chinese military technology was inspired and reverse engineered from the Soviet Union, in the cold war many countries started playing both sides as to survive amongst both superpowers and China eventually gained nuclear capabilities in the 70s with the help of Soviet Union, the west only had better relations with countries from the far East like Japan, South Korea, Phillipines and other nations from the Oceania continent like Australia and the remaining islands and only in the late 90s after the Soviet Union collapsed is where China started trade relations with the west as they themselves were in a compromising position after the Great famine in the 70s, it is surprising that China still wasn't subjugated like Phillipines and other east Asian countries where the US started militarizing and posting military bases and conducting nuclear tests on foreign soil and then sugarcoating it as to blame Russia and China when they conducted tests for their own defence as to now allow western hegemony

  2130.  @alicec6459  well think about it in this way, i seen criticisms from western sources about China regarding why they feel its authoritarian, many feel the problem lies in the surveillance program China has and it is considered controversial with how it will be used, although it is understandable with how western neoliberal shock therapy it caused the collapse of the Soviet Union and western ideology trying to influence the Chinese people against their governments, but people also feel such programmes will be used against the people and it would be devastating with the wrong hands especially when Americans already have experienced it with Snowden whistleblowing about NSA surveillance systems and how some of them were used maliciously including millions of peoples private data being sold, although we haven't seen anything like that in China the problem still stays especially among the elite, it is to be seen with how they proceed with this program but currently people rather prefer the old system which even if it has flaws does not risk everyones privacy, China does have a big responsibility with foreign countries which are relying on them for their sustenance and they fear if it would end up being the same like with the US which people obviously don't want anything like that happening, overall the people i feel should get to know more about governments inworkings as they feel isolated from them here and with foreign countries they don't trust or know anything about it will be difficult to say the least, overall i feel countries should be allowed to implement whichever system they feel suits them without bringing harm to their own populace or them being monopolised in any manner and if superpowers like China or Russia or other nations implement their systems right without any damages to their own populace in any way they feel then sure they can go for it

  2131.  @alicec6459  if I'm honest overall it's more about the fact that people are separated by cultural and social differences with each nations, i don't like the Sharia law in Iran and restrictions put on women but that politics is used as a guise to invade foreign nations and I see this tactic applied everywhere almost and in history throughout, yes cultural differences are something that will be there but instead of trying to understand all the aspects and analysis of that culture we just don't accept it overall and wage war like we did with Iraq or Afghanistan or other middle Eastern countries, i mean if those countries have flaws which harm their populace the people of those nations are the ones to change their culture not foreign powers who have no proper understanding of that culture, but we still waged a war anyways and the people gained nothing but their nations in turmoil in a worse situation than before, let's be real people in modern times when it comes to survival aren't going to associate themselves with culture or ideology or any sorts of ideas, many just want their economic condition to be better as possible and culture comes secondary here, and this financial war is something that is the main crux here which countries are trying to get a hold of, people are controlled in the sense that those who never think out of their heads or incentivised to think about controversial topics are used for their voices as to carry out actions which benefits the rich and those who are smart enough to understand or maybe remain critical are censored off social media and their voices clouded under the voices of the illiterate masses, like with the Ukraine war which those who are smart and know about rising Nazism never talk about it as doing so will either get their position they enjoy in life stripped or censored if they talk about it, modern times don't live for expressing ideas which even if controversial are discussed regardless and they only live for convenience and fear of losing that position

  2141. Well it's overall the fact that the issue with any system is how it's implemented and what benefits it brings, capitalism is based on the fact that any person regardless of class will be able to obtain a higher position of power while socialist or communism bases itself on people having equal positions and for them to govern certain rules and regulations and does not have people ascend a higher position unless they are fully qualified and dedicated towards it and not just solely for gaining power like it's in the west where politicians are crooked enough to recklessly use their power without thinking twice, China and Russia with the system they have is implemented based on what they know from history and socio-economical successes and how it works in tune with their culture and ones lifestyles and economically too which the west certainly lacks and tries to force it's system onto other countries which have different doctrines and cultural methods on how they could implement their system and ends up being incompatible and a mess, eg- capitalism or communism may work in some countries but not all as the west has people believe and really under that guise the west has only managed to ruin or desecrate entire countries and their economy due to how their system is implemented on nations which are completely incompatible like with Venezuela or Nicaragua in the past or various other Asian countries like India or even China to a certain extent in the past which they had changed their system entirely, any system as long as they are implemented properly would be successful and what matters is countries which respect the ideology or systems that others have and fix their problems instead of doing it for others like the west is doing

  2143.  @majeedp8760  well you are talking about regime change which at this point in time where nuclear escalation is at a all time high and yes i do know about Sharia law and all other middle Eastern countries are usually monotonous on that idealogy, but your approach of trading one demon for another which actually looks to erase your culture altogether isn't something that is ideal here, look at what happened to Iraq and with the pretext of Saddam Husseins regime the US government destabilized the entire country will millions dead and their culture permanently damaged especially with the US invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan is another example with culture clashes leading to the country now led by the Taliban which despite claims of giving equal rights is still following the same Sharia law, also foreign countries do not want western culture either as the culture clearly had multiple flaws and the scare of radical feminism also does not help them either but there are positives too but foreign countries can't risk suffering the same radicalization, and tell me is it really worth risking your country for another demon which basically looks to exploit your nation? Especially when the power vacuum left behind will just be filled by another dictatorship, whatever happened to the people and women in Iraq face is unfortunate but willing to gamble your nation for another corporatist is just as worse especially when you risk your culture being completely erased even the positives that Iranians wish to present to the world, culture clashes are something that will happen in history but modern times are geared towards resources more than culture and some really powerful people will do anything even erase their culture and every identity about them just to gain access to their resources, Syria is another example with how its oil is stolen by the US without any legal consequences and about Canada the times were as recent as the 90s and even still today the indigenous have the potential to face something similar especially with right wing groups and Nazism increasing in large numbers in Canada and other western countries so your quite naive on thinking your western friends will help them, whatever culture each respective countries carry doesn't mean their entire country should be at risk for war, i mean have you even seen how the US military treated Iraqis in the invasion? You are only fed sugarcoated versions of the events which probably will never be fully disclosed especially with the massive censorship that the west is notorious for, Iran faces persecution and any culture revisions are something that should be carried out by the people of that nation instead of foreign interference which the rest of the world has had enough especially when everyone at this point knows how that will end up for the nation being invaded, culture change comes from proper understanding and compromises between both sides instead of outright waging war against each other which does nothing but harm your culture and the younger generation which doesn't want anymore conflicts, you think it was fine for that 16yo kid to burn her hijab and only anger the old traditions which many still follow in Iran and instead of trying to have peaceful protests which does not involve cultural harm or use of weapons or anything which leads to both sides attacking each other, that kid was involved in something big and it's unfortunate extremism took over and many are angry at western interference in their culture, the point I'm trying to make is that we the average citizens don't get to choose between both leftist and right wing ideals correctly and either approach towards their extremes instead of trying to be in the middle and create a sufficient balance which benefits everyone regardless of sex, race or ethnicity, but now we are divided with identity politics by corporatism which only seeks for resources as to subjugate control over the people even if it means erasing their culture and way of life, we should have a pragmatic and emotional understanding of cultures and you can't just change a culture overnight it takes decades for people to come to terms of their traditions being challenged and they usually are afraid their entire culture will be at risk which isn't the case but they don't like to take risks, we should be more humanizing instead of having the same aggressive approach which only causes misery to families and children throughout generations

  2148.  @jihigh482  well it is not too late especially when people are still needed for the elite to carry out their imperialistic ways, something that the average person is either forced to work due to individualistic mentality as it is understandable to be selfish to survive, but the censorship carried by the western powers on their people is already kept people in a patriotic mentality so it will be tough times for sure and even if people do understand these problems they are in the worry of the fact of how foreign powers like Russia or China will manage the world power, whether in the same manner like the western imperialists did or a different approach altogether, it is hard for people to find out especially when they get sources of both approaches and although some approaches are made in response to fight against western powers it will still be seen as them being an aggressor like Nicaragua for example carrying out censorship against western disinformation which does influence people towards western interests but still seen as a dictatorship by the people due to the way that their own oligarchs carry out censorship and this being reminiscent of those times where free speech was being removed, people are stuck between whether to choose themselves as to survive in this world or for the sake of their nation it is a hard choice to make especially when people don't want their culture and way of life to be gone under the name of revenge and will be forced to fight back if pushed into a corner by the elite, individualistic mentality is something that is a moral question whether it's right to fight for your nation and worth sacrificing yourself for causes you may not fully understand or to be selfish for once and look out for your own survival as it is understandable, this is why modern generations have always been anti war as possible as they rather choose their own lives over others and understandably so as it is a moral choice overall and this lead to problems like these where people of higher power get leverage from these people, the way i see it unless those people who are individualistic come bind together instead of singling out and talk about this things which will lead to their voices never heard compared to a larger crowd, things aren't going to change for the world if this continues and eventual outcome will be nuclear escalation

  2149.  @Milosz30  well if you look at it this way really the old colonial powers already had met a threshold to how much colonies they can colonize before they end up fighting amongst each other for land and power, and that is basically the great wars where countries were already looking to fight each other like Germany which in Africa already had multiple wars against the Dutch and the British Empire and in all that fighting amongst each other the remaining colonies had a chance of escaping the grip against colonial rule which they had a chance of launching a revolution, even before the colonial times countries like India or China still had rulers who oppressed their own people especially with the caste system in India which was notorious and still continues even today especially among the rich elites where the power vacuum left behind by the British Empire lead to the higher caste assuming the positions and thus the elites in India persecuted muslims in their country, i do agree that western countries should stay away from foreign countries especially when they have shown to have ulterior motives with how they conduct so called liberating operations with Syria or Iraq Afghanistan and endless amount of countries in the list, but the people of those nations should also be sceptical towards their leaders and how the power left behind by colonial powers could end up against the interests of the people in those countries, really even starting up a revolution involves some form of power which they do need to overthrow the monarchy they were against and mostly comes from the opposition side of the people that they are against like with the French revolution which despite rising up against the monarchy of Louis XVI only left behind a power vacuum of which lead to events like the Reign of Terror which caused even more deaths, so really the power vacuum issue is a real thing especially when in hands of people who can decide whether to improve the lives of the people, it's overall a cycle of who will come at the top and having scepticism towards anyone in control is something that needs to be there instead of just being one sided overall and not questioning anything about the policies our leaders commit to even if for good

  2151.  @motherlandbot6837  well i didn't make comparisons between East Asian countries and the industrial revolution which was one of the worse times for the poor overall, East Asian countries progress overall is much better than compared to industrial revolution but still there were labour issues in China which is acknowledged by China overall especially during the 70s where devastating famines occurred and since then they have learnt from the mistakes that the west committed in the industrial revolution, they have even acknowledged those periods as the century of humiliation and since then drastically improved the lives of millions of Chinese people since the 2000s, labour laws were surely much better than in the 1900s but still a large amount of cracks followed even in that system which was largely controlled by the west, another example I'll make is the issue of slave labour of Indians in Dubai where they were given promises of better housing and welfare overall but stuck in poor living conditions and worse with crippling debt which piled up for the expenses to even enter the country, China since then has been self reliant and many of their companies are state owned instead of relying on foreign companies like Apple, Samsung and other tech companies and in other sectors they have done the same throughout, these are factors that needs to be acknowledged of the fact that most of these nations still were suffering from post colonial effects where power vacuums were filled by western proxies from those nations selected by the west and large numbers of corruption started continuing in those nations, China and Russia even acknowledge this in fact and they have improved things since then, if you think I'm just spreading western propaganda i can't help then, im overall sceptical on all nations and how they carry out their progress and their history without any biases, the fact of the matter is many of the nation's progress isn't without struggle and it is something that needs to be acknowledged and other factors like corruption needs to be brought up instead of having a subjective opinion and biases, the current system of these countries are something that needs to be acknowledged and how they approach on these matters whether it benefits the populace of those nations or exploited should be brought up, eg: i don't fully agree with China's system of censorship and surveillance even if it brings safety to the people with less crime and terrorism and also preventing western influences which are known to have its populace against the nation but with full control over the people who it is still seen as a demonising move by westerners who also are sceptical of their own country like the US which is famous for censorship too, Russia's approach on this war is something that is also seen as demonising by westerners even if it shows their western hypocrisy like with the Iraq invasion which they fully supported and many people who have a neutral stance on this like India or other nations like Hungary still do think this war could have been avoided if west stayed away from Ukraine and other Baltic states overall instead of Russia making compromising choices with the war and having no choice but to get dragged alongside to fight off NATO expansion and i also mentioned about Nicaragua's approach on censorship which you didn't fully read and even if their approach is to avoid small scale influences from the west which western countries have done in the past destabilizing nations by influencing them it will still be seen as a demonising move by the average person, every country in this world will have flaws and positives which needs to be addressed instead of having one sided arguments which in fact just gives proof for westerners to believe the countries as bad and more reason to recklessly pick the side waging war against other nations without having both sides perspectives and choosing the one which benefits them, i rather see people who would have criticism towards all sides and addressing their flaws and taking their positives into account too instead of one dimensional black and white biased thinking, in the end this is a battle between the rich and the average person dragged into these wars which some don't want to not have any part of and only want peace and to prevent any escalation into a nuclear war

  2153. @TheDrewSaga well that's the issue, we have that ability and potential to understand that it wouldn't end well yet we still go with it as if we are the same as animals with the survival of the fittest and that mentality is surely going to get everyone killed especially with modern times we have created weapons which will wipe out countries off this Earth, and countries those who won't hesitate to use it like the west which is desperate to try to protect its Empire against foreign nations which had enough of their hegemony, we have past reached the point of this survivalist mentality at least the average person who doesn't want to live under the same culture which has them under crippling debt and any ideas or controversial topics they share in modern culture is censored and waged war against like the war on drugs or war on terror which ruined entire countries for the sake of money, the rich are still stuck in their old century mentality and created circumstances and adverse effects which led to people who were poor breeding more offsprings and trying to have cheap labour as much as possible but now it blew up on their faces especially when those poor are now provided access to education and resources by their respective countries who have their own motives, but whatever the case the rich now are desperate to hoard as much resources as possible (thus explains the wealth gap) as to have the people cannibalize themselves, similar situation in Iraq with the water crisis going on there, and other countries in the future will soon end up fighting for resources as much as possible, instead of the rich actually understanding the cultural and socio-economic problems of countries and for once letting go of their capitalist mentality and of this thinking of gaining profit and ending this cycle of exploitation and pointless militarization for wars, we are rather seeing them desperately trying suicidal ways as to further themselves in their egoism trying to prove a point to the world
    1
  2154. @TheDrewSaga  well that's the issue, think about generations of people in China or Russia who thought about how their country has gone down in poverty due to western policies which lead reckless corporate practices via proxies in Russia or China which admittedly is true (especially with how much iPhone factories in China created forced labour camps to drive workers to the point of suicide and the fact that it got so bad that they had to build nets around to prevent backlash) and thus now those generations of people who now despite living in censorship and state owned control  (which i do think i have one of the major issues with both countries and other nations trying to practice this, although it is argued that it is partially due to western ideology and corporatism trying to influence people to be against their nations just like how the National Endowment for Democracy NED did by influencing people against their nation which lead to corruption by elites in those countries also playing a main hand against their citizens which i think is another flaw of censorship which people argue against and i agree) they argue that they still have better lives than they did before the famine in China in the 70s although they do believe things could be way better, these are people from generations who even from their own elites were kept in poverty like in the case of India which people argued in the old century the elites never changed their doctrine against their own people, and thus in a desperate attempt to survive the poor breed as much as possible so their offspring can survive which these circumstances were created by the kings of those countries, times haven't changed now but the difference being now anyone can become a king within the modern political spectrum and those rich will be more likely to become king due to inheritance or other factors, and the revenge mentality i mentioned is due to the colonial control that there was there and the colonial powers had that mentality of conquering everyone instead of having control related to caste system like segregation in Africa, to the colonial mindset everyone in the nation is a slave and compared to the past century where it was race related now it's more about who has enough power and control over everyone regardless of differences, and that's why this revenge mentality is there for the poor who look at everyone who is rich as enemies or people who look to keep them under and a few poor do have the chance to be at the top with education which is something that in modern times has been a good hopeful way of making things better for people but also depends upon how that knowledge is used whether for good or bad, many people in these nations are still stuck to patriotism and hatred for the west which is understandable to say the least but also those who don't want to be part of any wars and only want to survive join in as to well survive hopefully finding any system which will let them live

  2163.  @Gunni1972  China is a social democratic nation at best but with smaller changes in the sense that the state ran their corporations which were given much more market freedom than the Soviets did (which leads to corruption and power accumulation like with Jack Ma and Evergrande who screwed over their employees) the social benefits they are providing for their people has been at the expense of their own people especially in the Xingyang region where they are seeking to evict the local population there and assimilate them into the majority of the Han Chinese and other imperial methods in many foreign countries which frankly with the censorship there's barely any knowledge about China's system is not like the Soviets which is truly socialist unlike what people claim to be especially when the Soviets had complete control over their systems and didn't allow any free market policies on their marketplace, the only similarity that can be made with the Chinese and Soviets is that the state would demand foreign corporations work with their own corporations to market their businesses but even then the Soviets didn't just allow their corporations to have complete market freedom China's wealth distribution towards their peoples betterment is only temporary at best and with their censorship and lack of information on their whereabouts makes it harder on what kind of imperialistic methods they implement on which country or whether it's even on their own people like in the Xingyang region it's hard to know whether such a country can be called democratic as they claim especially when they do carry out some unethical practises whether it's on foreign lands or their own people and again it doesn't help that the rich of those countries prioritise their own interests even at the expense of their own people or other nations

  2164.  @Maximoose875  you know the irony is Chinas system has never been truly socialist despite how much socialists continue to claim it is China for all intent and purposes have kept a system where they give some leeway for their corporations but as long as they work for national interests which obviously is not working on their favor especially when corrupt oligarchs like Jack Ma were getting too big China although may have a huge control over many sectors like banking and technology still allowed many of them to grow and carry out corrupt practices which they could have stopped by not just creating such corporations in the first place but the issue with such a system that it's similar to a social democracy as westerners like to call it where the country essentially works for the interests of the people providing them all socialistic benefits but at the expense of some group of minorities or in fact their own people but with careful strategic planning as to prevent any revolt against their systems China allows its systems to be run by corporations like Evergrande, Huawei or other companies which have been shown to have CEOs who have been jailed or executed for looking after their own selfish interests but again the fact that they allowed such a system in the first place is exactly the issue here someone like Jack Ma was allowed to collaborate with western oligarchs and he was allowed to become as rich as possible while China conveniently decided to screw him over as he was getting over his head ofc, while Jack Ma did all the damages he could by screwing over his employees and their assets were taken by the Chinese government instead of being returned a true socialist nation would never even allow creating such a system which screws over its people and then correcting it when it's convenient, they would abolish the very foundation of that corruption itself by preventing such corporations from being created let alone allow them with power with no checks China has a system which is 70% run by the state and 30% by capitalist oligarchs who are controlled by the state and in fact is not like a true socialist state like the Soviet Union which abolished all capital or any formation of corporations and most of its systems were completely different from what China today is Soviets never engaged in free market policies and only engaged with foreign corporations with strict governmental standards (like complete control over their engagement with the people of the state they conduct their businesses in) and preventing any western cultural beliefs from entering their peoples conscience which unlike the Soviets China allows a decent amount of market freedom as long as they are serving the financial interests of the rich, in fact Soviets banned any western media which culture clashed with their own cultures and prevented any businesses which promoted pro western ideals on their countries (that is why there was a serious amount of black market on the USSR which was funded by western colonialists to weaken the cultural beliefs of the Soviet people), the Soviets never had created any corporations like Huawei, Alibaba or Evergrande which have had corrupt business practices for the sole reason they had power over the people as their net assets were much larger over the average citizen on China Yeah sure China did crack down on such corrupt CEOs but again why create such CEOs in the first place while you could have had a system like the Soviets which solely relied on actual state owned enterprises which only worked for the sole interests of the people and their CEOs didn't even have net worth close to the billionaires that China has cause they never were allowed to get powerful in the first place Sure bureaucracy was something that was a huge problem in the Soviet Union but again if u have such a huge nation where u would have to check every other state and city on their progress and development you are bound to have corruption especially when western oligarchs also were planning your doom alongside too while your country just survived a brutal war against the Nazi regime (millions of Russian sacrifices in battle of Kursk) which wished your peoples extinction all those circumstances while the western Empire stole and pillaged from poorer countries, the Soviets were bound to failure cause of circumstances not cause of the system they adopted which would have challenged western imperial capitalism China is not taking any socialist elements other than just being a social democratic nation which develops betterment for its people while also carrying out huge land leases on foreign countries and screwing over its own populace especially in the Xingyang region where they seek to evict the local population there for the development of their own people i.e majority Han Chinese

  2179.  @bartonlee3594  yeah calling yourselves socialists while promoting fascism is something that has been done before many times you know, like Hitler did with his Nazi Germany faction which was called National socialists Germans workers Party and Orwell was no different from his ideals, fascists and neocons usually masquerade as Socialists while preferring only one certain faction or race while kicking the rest off from their systems like the Jewish, Romani and Slav communities Both sides i.e the US Empire and the British in the early years of the Great wars had obviously sought out to destabilize the Soviet Union even before WW2 and it was all pre-planned since the Russian revolution where power shifts caused various factions to join in after the Tsars were executed so the power shifts obviously were unstable in Soviet Union especially when authoritarian figures started taking control during WW2 where the threat of Nazi Germany was arising for the Soviets to take action After WW2 the colonies which fought for liberation were offered and for the west which used western propaganda and westernising other former colonies which were ravaged by the British Empire and to provide them opportunities as to gain leverage financially and culturally over them would be the obvious move made by the US Empire and it worked, you see we foreigners speaking English for you westerners and praising western authors instead of people from our own country or systems (unless they have been Westernised) which wouldn't get nearly as much recognition obviously as any ideals which are controversial are rejected for Western conveniences Orwell ideas were pro-capitalistic at best especially when although he did refer to authoritarian states it was specifically made to be against communist ideals or any form of government control which for those times were preferred by socialist countries like Cuba which was formerly a colonial outpost for Spain and many other states than the capitalist system which housed private organisations and seek expansion as much as possible and were colonial in nature let's be honest colonialism came from capitalistic ideals especially with the British Empire which introduced The East India company which specialises on privatising a countries resources and gaining leverage over the countries financial sectors and media and cultural ideals especially with Christianity being introduced among the foreign masses which worked well for the British and still the same model was used by the US Empire against the Soviets and now is still being used to suppress and prevent nationalism among countries to protect their interests while westernising their culture and ideals to allow immigration while putting harsh immigration policies as to get them out when they are done with them Orwells ideals were the same as the colonial era which supported the extremes of privatisation instead of nationalism which the US Empire still pushes forward with his ideas, i mean the fact his books are still everywhere and was and is still used as a pretext for ideals against Governments across the world (especially against the Soviets with Animal Farm) and ignoring the private sector which is gaining more ground and then the government which works for the private sector to enforce laws for their conveniences which obviously has been working well

  2195.  @RebeccaTurner-ny1xx  the same goes with the UK especially when their oligarchy continues to enforce destructive laws on their people essentially planning out ways to prevent their people from forming unions to overthrow their governments Russia and China by far were the only countries which violently overthrew their leaders and even then Russia has been more successful than China in the past, the people of Britain continue to be subservient to their leaders for at least half a millennium or probably even more, the industrial revolution and it's consequences being one of the most devastating modern time abuses of the elite against their people, making entire cities in hospitable grounds festered with diseases and life expectancy being low amongst the average citizens, the elites control in the world has largely remained the same and unless violent revolutions like in Niger or Russia didn't take place the people will continue to be slaves the people of China didn't criticize any nation when they violently overthrew their leaders and carried out a cultural revolution, so why can't western citizens do the same towards their elites and instead of wasting their time criticizing other countries they should maybe first spend that time fixing their country first I don't believe in any ideologies as they have been indeed used as rhetoric to try to deny the fact that corruption exists in all systems and the people who are part of those systems should take actions and not just remain soft having their own selfish thoughts over their communities well being We didn't see China criticizing other countries in the past and only now that they are at a better position for their people is where they are finally in a position to critique others, while westerners are still in poor conditions with all their wealths taken from them by the elite and kept stagnant never allowed to reach an equal position over their leaders

  2203. Or maybe u a westerner continues to believe that countries will just change their systems overnight cause it's convenient yet ignoring the economic harm it will do to the entire nation, changing the system of a country to different systems ignorant of the decades reliant systems and practices that the people of those countries have been accustomed to is nothing but mismanagement and poor planning of a countrys economic development, A purely socialist or capitalist system is nothing but an illusion which ignores the fact that both systems are implemented for a country's economic development instead of leaning toward one extremely, how well that system is used is something that's important especially when leaving natural resources and important future economic developmental assets in the hands of solely oligarchs without imposing any rules on them will only lead to disaster as any lines can be crossed, but the opposite is true with small/medium scale businesses also suffering productivity if the country's system is entirely socialist as any smaller/medium scale businesses which rely on competitive edge and more independent systems would be forced to work in a uniform manner which takes away progressive growth or any experimental research and development capabilities those businesses might share for the countrys growth This idea of countries being purely socialist or capitalist is just an illusion crafted by channels like these especially when China although claimed to be socialistic still encourages private corporations to oversee their entertainment and tech industries but any macroscale sectors like natural resources or any economic assets pertaining to the country's development will be owned by the state as to prevent any abuse of power by any single private corporations like Jack Ma tried to do and got jailed from it

  2231. @Stanley  please don't judge people before you make statements like that you only look aggressive here, especially when I'm in agreement with your statements too but insults isn't something i accept around here especially making outlandish claims of me not knowing history without even seeing what i said, i claimed these countries did things differently in the sense they started looking for their own economic value and sustainability via trading with other foreign nations like former allied countries like Russia and even other European nations which it was close in borders towards instead of serving US interests, you do know that the US sees everyone as competition even Europe and many Europeans nations have started accepting it and looking to have their own interests before they completely become subservient to American hegemony, US does not like nations which act on their own interests as nations like those will carry out actions which turn the geopolitical game upside down especially when it comes to economic and military relations and pointing that out is me claiming not knowing history? Please I'm not speaking here without knowing the history of these nations especially when south asian countries also are going through the same thing when they were weakened by British colonial rule but still are more sustainable than the Baltic states which i claimed were in turmoil which is true here, the Baltic states were always meant to be the target especially with Ukraine had multiple ties with Nazi Germany against Soviet Union in ww2 and other countries may had also similar coup attempts, it was obvious the Soviet Union was never allowed to become a full fledged superpower like the west as the west already had been waging the war against communism since the 1900s, they always knew the threat of working class citizens who would shut down any corporate interests which the west had developed and it was especially a major issue in Britain but with the socialist elements which some corporatists like Oswald Mosley who lead supported the workers union which was formerly socialist into being successfully warped into fascism as the British Union of fascists which is what the west is doing with MAGA communism which Ben Norton stated before in his livestreams, true communism elements are removed entirely and warped into fascism which priorities right wing elements and "white" workers being given more focus instead of all workers, so really all these factors are something the west always were fighting against and this war between ideology never ended as you claim it only was silence before the storm and Baltic states are surely suffering from it

  2234. Well the cartels never got rich out of nowhere you know, many of them work under corporate legitimate businesses who carry out their supplies and import-exports and many have had ties with western companies and corporate lobbyists working with the US government, even the drugs do not originate from the US and literally grown from the global south under the cartel and sent illegally or bribery from those countries respective governments as there's large scale corruption with those who look to make money in a poor country, the US literally seizes and steals resources from poor nations by seizing drugs and money under the pretext of war on drugs and taking up millions of dollars worth of cocaina leaves which should be returned back to the countries where it originated but i guess they just resupply all the drugs back to poorer communities in their own states allowing corporatists to run their Empires and catch them again for more money, literally stealing from their own people and people wonder why the US is seen as this evil, the agricultural lands of those poor nations are taken over by the cartel and the government those who are good and want to put an end to all of this have virtually no power in trying to stop their lands from being ruined, also added the fact that even the people are powerless against the cartel as seen by the massacres they carry out, really the good people have no choice but to run with it while their lands are occupied by money makers who themselves are backstabbed by the west who gain from a lot, i mean the DEA literally earns more than the expenditure that they get funded and many there are corrupt too and even those who are good unknowingly carry out violence on people i.e the cartel who are meant to be betrayed by the US as a scapegoat, it's not surprising the west gets involved into proxy wars and resources grabbing as they did the same thing with the mafia, the mafia, cartel and other organisations are nothing more than disposable tools for the corporatists who use them as scapegoats for them to loot from the people and destabilize foreign countries as much as possible, i mean look at what Nicaragua and other countries which were strucken by the war on drugs have to do especially with after getting rid of western media or influence via censorship which arguably even if controversial led to less intervention from the western media and culture influences which is the same thing China is doing but now stuck to it for other arguments which are controversial too, the case is Nicaragua now has to deal with the remaining drugs and the cartel that was left behind by western interferences and now either has to stick around to sustain its own citizens via the drug trade which westerners find a reason to claim the nation is a authoritarian regime yet can't see the fact that they got all the remaining drugs which was left behind by the cartel and now the way these drugs will be used is something that Nicaragua could decide whether for good or bad as it would seek to get rid of all of it and also the cartel as they will surely seek to monopolise as western powers left the global south and the country should seek for better control over it's agricultural lands which formerly were taken over for drug production, honestly the west all it managed to do is ruin the agricultural lands of the global south and even Mexico which it did the most damages towards all in an attempt to gain money and possession of drugs which were meant to be returned to the global south, the way i see it drugs production is environmentally destroying the lands as only a single crop is grown with no diversity causing massive food shortages for the people which they now need to take control over their lands, really the global south did better in getting rid of western influences for good and get rid of imperialism and should have more control over its land and do better to improve the lives of its people and control the leftover mess left by the west or proxy cartel, in this case better research needs to be done to avoid such corruption and provocation for good

  2251.  @svenhanson398      sorry I may have drawn a direct comparison with Ukraine and Tibet here, I would say it is more similar in the lines of Crimean reunification which didn't involve any military force and even if there were still didn't lead to a all out war, Tibet was in a similar situation which even if people claim was annexed still doesn't hold true especially for the majority of Tibetans and even if there were foul play involved especially with Dalai Lama's government which there were many controversies involved against it still doesn't mean justifying attacking China for it especially when it also doesn't help western media which continued promoting anti-Chinese propaganda to demonise this unification and where we haven't got a apt description of the events, either way if Tibet wants to separate from China then it should be done under a referendum like with Ukraine and under the International community not comprising of any western powers or influences especially when all such interferences has done is only worsen things for those who do carry sentiments of hatred, the approach of demonising another nation and its people is no way justified especially when the people of China should also have their opinions on these topics, if Tibet is to break up then China should have all of its investments taken from Tibet especially when they already had invested long enough for infrastructure and various other necessities like hospitals, schools and various other developments which Tibet lacked in the past, overall it is in the best interest for Tibet to be reunified with China especially with its rapid progression is beneficial for the people than harmful and any cultural or economical harm should be addressed by the people instead of just declaring a split which will be disastrous, u made a comparison between the British Empire and China in terms of development but you do forget that the British unlike China never allowed any Indian any higher position or education equal to their position or what was given to them or access to share those developments anywhere across India especially in poor villages, it's not the same with Tibet here especially when Tibetans are given equal positions now than in the past especially when the government didn't provide enough necessities for the people

  2252.  @svenhanson398  well Tibet is in a similar situation with how Ukraine was with Russia here, you do forget they share land borders here and overall is also in a conflict with another nuclear power like India too over these regions and where western influences there too from the remnants of the British Empire, these are geopolitics which are between Asian borders just like with European borders with Ukraine which didn't need any western interferences too and thus doesn't justify another western meddling, the west is miles faraway from these regions and yet they feel the need to play world police in these matters? If the people of Tibet feel like they didn't want to reunite they would have elected not to join with China unlike the west which directly invades countries without any jurisdiction or governments of those countries having any say in these matters, you may argue whether it was colonization or reunification but overall in these times the politics of those regions should stay within those regions and should be resolved with the choices made from the people of those respective lands and if there are any turmoil within the people of those regions it would be regarded and acknowledged internationally and not just allowed interference from any powers as they feel like it, the west has enough interferences already and should look at their own regions instead of playing politics with other countries and installing military bases on foreign soil which I don't see being criticised for obvious reasons,

  2275. ​​ @SM-df9hm  ​ buddy the historical facts that you have learnt is usually westernised and although there will be some of your countries historical facts many which will be considered controversial to the west will probably be removed as majority of today's history isn't taught to todays people and more given a westernised view more than anything, the problem is the fact that how much traditional and socio-cultural leverage the west has over the rest of the world and sadly they have too much influences over the youths of foreign countries for changes to happen, it's worse especially when even with this channel we get a westerner who talks on behalf of countries and reports on them instead of fellow countrymen talking on their own countries behalf, its scary how the colonisers never left our lands and worse managed to have absolute control over our traditions and lifestyles to where we would speak and talk in a westernised way, we should be talking our languages on the internet while having some knowledge of others language as a form of respect instead we are here talking English instead of expressing our fellow languages and culture to the world and others respecting it enough to understand it The education system is westernised and is a failure overall too and westerners ironically accept it and it's only there for having a certification than actually learning about the world and it's cultures and traditions across the world, the education system in foreign countries has never taught to have an understanding towards things let alone portray cultures and traditions with respect especially when things are too Westernised and are more oriented towards money and saying anything against western ideals leads to people being scrutinized at least in the newer generations the west like i said so has no respect for fellow cultures and superpowers like Russia or China and feels the need to project itself onto the rest of the world while ruining their culture and even insulting it instead of respecting it no matter how controversial it is as people in those countries have almost no rights of their own to express their culture and traditions without being tarnished by Western values

  2304.  @chrispercival9789   are you even hearing yourself ? Just because you have the ability to talk about things doesn't mean you get to enact your ideas on them successfully, especially when a lot of white noise and controversies are created like the so called sexual assaults allegations against Julian Assange which almost completely shifted the narrative about the wikileaks and many working in the site were under scrutiny of it later on as to hamper their operations A fair trial ? Are you serious? You really think the US corporate lobbyists will ever allow Assange to be free especially after exposing many secrets about world leaders internationally and causing billions in damages and same thing with Snowden who would have zero chances seeing the light of the day especially with so called military secrets which in another word is just imperialistic plans being exposed, it's honestly laughable with how you claim they will ever get a legal trial as if in the US things are legal, this is the same country in the past which was imperialistic and carried out nuclear tests on sovereign countries and despite media coverage was forgotten by the rest of the world till the internet, no amount of media coverage means that they will get what they want and again it's embarrassing when you claim the west has more freedom which is just given to us for name sake as to not get enough backlash for censorship You are naive thinking that there will be no elites in power in any country, it is known the west does the same thing that you claim CCP dictatorships do using the war on terror as a justification to invade sovereign nations, you westerners just don't want to see China at the top or even it's people successes being ruined by foreign intervention which is obviously the case, you call me CCP apologist being a complete infantile person throwing words at me but can't vene realise the fact that despite all the claims you make the US still has GDP and military bases around the world higher than China does, the people are already aware of the dictatorship you claim which carries out censorship and like i said you don't even bother to debate between the topic of censorship in China which i said many countries have the same approach like Nicaragua and Cuba recently but understandable reasons as to avoid western influences in their country especially among the youth who are the main target, but having this childish and aggressive approach is going to get you nowhere and even justifying the so called freedom of speech which the US has is just halfassed for the sake of not creating a revolution which is already happening wouldn't sit well with people especially the rest of the world which knows in the past the same nation talking about freedom and everything used to enslave many countries and still does in the past and these anti China rhetoric which you make is only appearing as an attack on the Chinese people like how it was with Russia when westerners started attacking Russian people for supporting Putin, instead of calling me names why not actually bring legitimate criticisms which doesn't look like an attack on others on the opposite spectrum which is exactly what it looks to us with your approach

  2317. ​​ @liberaltears1714  ​well if you known some history between Ukraine and Russia you would know it's not just solely annexation as you westerners read in propagandised media, Ukraine was already a hotspot for the West to have control over Russian aerospace, not to mention the amount of former cold war weaponry Ukraine had inherited from the USSR and many of it being on the hands of the West would have been a huge risk for Russia and it also didn't help with how many people in Ukraine had developed facistic elements from the past and allied with Nazi Germany against Russia in WW2, even if Ukraine was annexed in the past by the Tsars the cultural and social relations that Ukrainians had with Russia wasn't something that can be abandoned here especially with how the far right in Ukraine tried to remove the Russian language in the Eastern regions of Donbass and had threatened any Ukrainians with Russian ethnicity in the past, it isn't just solely for annexation especially when the western media in the past reported on these incidents and took no action against it despite many outcrys, it isn't a real threat and is made to do so by the West which is obviously working like how it did with 9/11 and the cold war tactics which are still continued for western convenience Countries which are supposed to be defending their territories and had past cultural ties with countries which look to reunite due to outside interferences are being demonised for western convenience and called regimes, as if the West never was a regime in the first place where it has installed its multiple military bases in various corners around the world giving fellow superpowers no authority over their own airspace You talk about annexation done by foreign countries and make comparisons to the annexations done by the West, let me ask you a question here then, what cultural or borders ties does the US have with countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, North Korea and various other nations which the West bombed and caused wanton destruction towards ? Yes it could be argued about the USSR as it in the past was considered a regime but is modern Russia or China be really considered in the same lines as the US or its western Allies here who have done discriminatory harm towards multiple nations In the end I say do I justify the invasion here ? Of course not but the reasons for those actions and their seeds were already sowed by the West which is also continuing in Taiwan too where Taiwan has been radically westernised for them to be coerced into war against China in the near future which the West still continues to push for and cutting ties with China like they did with Russia

  2327. ​​​ @os3984  about that first point about Russia not winning is so inaccurate here really, especially with how the war is still on stagnancy and the main objective of the special operation is still successful for the most part, the main tide depends upon whether if Ukraine has even more soldiers to spare and are literally recruiting child soldiers on the battlefield here and remaining women who are becoming more fodder on the field The part of Americanization is sadly been true throughout the world really and Finland is just another country which is on the newer lines like with Asian countries or Middle Eastern nations, even Russia and it's people are westernised to an extent regardless of them being against the West( I would argue China is probably one of the few countries to not become completely westernised and are changing things), the Nordic countries were just in the lines of many countries here like the Balkans in the 80-90s which have fallen to Americanization really About Russia I do not understand why Finns or Polish people still consider them as enemies despite the fact they were having better relations with the oil and natural gas industry, I do kinda understand with the past wars and all that history that many are still harboring that hatred but really putting your country on a economic suicide isn't in the interests of the current and even future generations and Finland especially your president who goes around in dance parties with multiple allegations of drugs involved doesn't seem well for Finland really, Finns had a better understanding from their Russian counterparts and Washington managed to ruin it for their conveniences here and many Finns probably will move to the US before their country has nothing to offer for them, look at Norway and how much of its gas supplies which are distributed for every NATO country instead for its own consumption and the environmental damages are probably going to be worse for Norway with the way they proceed

  2333.  @loinaluks2251   well the first point is quite interesting, I did say there were other factors in the culmination of those great wars like the great depression which may have put a huge dent on the world economy at that time which may have put them into desperation but the fact of the matter was the pre conflicts that happened in multiple colonies in Africa and Asia were reaching a turning point,the West really puts this propaganda that Germany and the Axis powers are at fault but really the seeds of war were right there since the beginning, powers like Britain and France had to set aside differences they had from the colonial wars to ally against Germany which under the Kaiser had annexed a significant number of African colonies I do think WW2 was a failure by Germany to continue gaining back it's lost position and various colonies which they lost under pressure from the Allies and having all these facistic ideals which Germany strived for under an attempt similar to the British Empire, the elements of fascism was already present in the West especially with various political parties like the BUF lead by Oswald Mosley and many others who rallied up many labour unions across Britain giving promises to fix the damages caused by the Great Depression and for Britain to gain back it's power in world politics and sufficient control over it's colonies once the internal politics is taken care off, they also had multiple fundings from Nazi Germany and the Italian fascist block but knew such a system would still continue the power struggle they will have in the near future so the Parliament didn't take any risk against it especially with Germany's past with the Kaiser, really WW2 had many elements where things could have gone differently if not for these powers to expend themselves and their military into losing control over their colonial outposts, so you could say their greed for power lead to their own doom especially when it they would have cooperated at least have had their Empires intact even if under submission, i believe that Hitler's ideology is stemmed from resurrecting the previous Empire led by the previous Chancellor Kaiser Wilhelm II and building a Neo capitalist order which bases itself on ultranationalist ideals which they learnt from the consequences of the Industrial revolution, the rapid rise in technology especially with the cost did not resonate with the people who were forced under extreme work hours and their negative sentiments towards their oligarchs who didn't favor them anymore were used as a pretext for war I do agree Nazi Germany's invasion of Russia is certainly not well understood especially when Russia already had gone through with regime change and by the 1930s they already had established sufficient military power taken from the previous Tsar so I do say it was a bold and reckless move especially when the Allies already had been flanking them from the West, but what I seen throughout western interpretations of WW2 is really how much credit they would like to give to themselves for ending Hitler's reign but really the history of the Soviets who fought off against Nazi Germany in the eastern front is completely forgotten almost for western convenience, I do think these topics need to be discussed and understood well for those who are tainted by western culture and believe in extreme nationalist ideals

  2352.  @ernestkhalimov1007  that's the issue with what those who support capitalism claim to be, people have that idea they don't want to be controlled and they surely want things which they have full ownership off maybe out of sense of this belief of control that they want, the point is people in the US already are disillusioned with their governments which they can't seem to understand is controlled by mega corporations especially when they can make larger decisions approved by a single person compared to multiple people who have to make that decision like how a actual government is supposed to be, China and Nicaragua follow the same doctrine as to censor other negative influences in their media but end up only causing problems like people who would want to try gain information from the uncensored news either out of curiosity as to why it was censored or maybe finding a flaw in their own country, China's current system is controversial regardless and people in the US argue whether things should be in control or not but with how the US itself tried to censor various of its doings in the past it is understandable why they will have a specific hatred for such a system, with a big system like China chaos is inevitable sadly as there are hundreds of not thousands of things happening at the same time and consideration of the fact that there are billions of people in poorer nations who would want to live the same lavish lifestyle as the US it will cause problems and differences in the nation itself

  2353. Well Ben Norton talking points were too repetitive with him continuously mentioning the coups carried by the US which westerners probably do not care about and the way that western propagandists work is by targeting convenient information selectively, they keep focusing on the current affairs of Nicaragua and how the President is carrying out censorship of other opposition parties on the state and to be fair it's working for those elites as people in modern times will focus on their current situation instead of the past, and what the President is doing even if for good intentions as to avoid western intervention among the masses will still be seen as a dictatorship trying to censor others even if those are evil, the point is the interview in the eyes of the average person will be seen as Nicaragua as a dictatorship which is censoring all controversial figures and the act itself is what the west is focusing and demonising the president for and trying to have the world against them, that person Manuel who was on the debate clearly never mentions any of the past history and focuses on the present which is a perfect way of manipulation for the masses who could care less about the past and focus on current affairs and the people watching the interview will rather not care about the west's wrongdoings and will focus on Nicaragua's issue with tackling western disinformation, the west's way of disinformation campaigns they carry on foreign soil is seen and they often will use manipulation tactics like these to try to make the opposition as evil as possible while trying to preach their culture, it's seen throughout history with how Europeans had convinced the indigenous people of better lifestyle that what they were getting from their tribes only for the colonizers to betray the populace who were helping them destroy each other, these are wartime tactics which are obviously manipulative and works well especially among the average public which has zero understanding of their country and are extremely individualistic which the west has created this culture around the world. Even if being selfish is positive sometimes doesn't mean abandoning your own kin which is what western culture is famous for, the way that Nicaragua is carrying out censorship is something that people will find relation with their own country and will now find a reason to demonise Nicaragua even if they can't see the fact how their western disinformation campaigns work, the interview on a pragmatic standpoint will not support Norton's viewpoints as they only focus on the past issues and not current ones which we aren't getting a full picture off, Nicaragua's approach towards this is surely getting them demonized by westerners and unless they allow opposition parties around like how the US does but have better control as to allow freedom of speech even if disinformation will at least put Nicaragua in a good light as they wouldn't be stooping down low as the US proxies and opposition parties do, hopefully they stop the censorship as people need to get all viewpoints for them to decide which one is right and why the west's ways are clearly dooming then, the point is people should get all viewpoints even if controversial and then decide what is the better way for Nicaragua to progress which doesn't involve war or chaos and economic prosperity and social development

  2362.  @1941blkwidow  well I'm pretty sure South America did not belong to the US anyways and it is better Nicaragua maintaining relations with China especially unlike the west which wants regime change and westernises almost every country it tries trading with even Saudi Arabia to some extent although not in the way they wanted, China only maintains economic relations with its fellow countries,not invade their politics and install client regimes on their country and sanction them if they feel like it yeah voice on how our government works ? Are you even hearing yourself buddy? You do realise their regime change failed here and that Taliban already started gaining grounds due to how pointless the reforms were, and that the west didn't just choose because they wanted to and had "freedom of speech" on their side or something, you westerners are completely in ignorance thinking that you can just invade a country and involve yourselves in their politics without having any proper relations or understanding between them, its no different from the colonial era where the west chose whichever country they can invade and decide which leaders should be in control but at least i argue the colonisers were more honest and open about it unlike the US which uses soft power to hide all its dirty work, your government has no voice or anything here especially when it comes to foreign policy and just chooses to invade another country if it didn't work in their favor and you westerners just use that as a pretext to claim they have a voice or something, yeah do not push the American people? Are you westerners ignorant or just can't see the fact your military is in our soil pretending to defend against China or Russia? Does China or Russia even have any military bases near the US or its allies as we are pretty sure it's the opposite, the west has had enough privileges here especially when your oligarchs are the ones who bomb our country without you people ever trying to stop it, why didn't you westerners speak about it huh? Is it because it was more convenient for countries to be in economic sanctions and be leveraged if they don't comply and westerners gained cheaper priced goods from foreign countries due to their currency being less valued than the USD due to obvious western bias ? Please using indirect threats against the rest of the world does not work like that buddy we are past the days where conventional weapons could colonise a country now we got nuclear capabilities which could end all life on this planet and we foreigners would rather prefer to live than invade the west or something which you westerners fear and only wish to have our countries in our control away from western influences, we just want our countries back and westerners leave our country for good especially when coercion by the west towards our people does not work at least not without people abandoning their identity which is harmful to our systems i don't see common ground with you westerners too due to how aggressive expansionistic your countries approaches are and various cold war tactics like soft power which is used on our countries and our youths being manipulated into joining the west and abandoning our country for Western conveniences, it seems nothing but leverage by the west here and we don't wish to cause wars over this but at least let us live and the west live too, and with that power which your oligarchs stole return it and let us rebuild our countries instead of putting your military on foreign soil, we foreigners just want to live in the same way the west is doing and under our terms not for western conveniences, that's all I ask especially when the threat from China or Russia is only exaggerated by the west for no reason other than fear of losing their control over the world like they did for many years now, the west can work as economic partners but nothing more no cultural exchanges as to harm our country especially when we have seen the consequences of it already, you may try to understand or not but we foreigners just don't want wars anymore and lose more people to proxy wars especially when any further push will only lead to mutual destruction, it will be only be beneficial for both sides if we look for our own interests and not each other like the west is doing as such a thing is only causing our countries and people to harbor hatred towards the west and wish they pay reparations for the damages caused On a side note I don't even wish for any invasion or something like you westerners fear and wish for countries to have their sovereignty and build other countries economies especially paying back all the damages caused by the west which will obviously be a lot especially including the colonial era where countries are still suffering from poverty due to how much trauma European powers caused and westerners are willing to forget all that even recent damages they are still causing? If you think I'm xenophobic or anti western or something I do have some positives about western culture and i do like some of the countryside culture overall as they maintained themselves in the past but sadly city culture ruined their lands too and even among the cityside there are a few positives but really the negatives outweigh them all really if I'm honest and is one of the main reasons why we foreigners don't want our people to be following the same negatives, it's upon westerners to improve it and again we foreigners would be better off if westerners left their culture from our countries if they aren't willing to acknowledge our culture and fix their problems and economically too which the west has introduced systems which doesn't work in our countries which westerners aren't willing to acknowledge if westerners are still going to remain the same without having any understanding towards our side and why we feel the way we do towards the west then really there's no helping then and if they are willing to change and leave our systems alone then we would be better off as at least there will only be better economic trade relations like how it was during the pre-colonial era where China and other Empires had respected others borders and didn't seek expansion across all parts of the world unlike the west is doing now

  2363.  @1941blkwidow     yeah what was that claim again you made that you helped them around and they didn't want to listen? Love how you now go off topic lol claiming one thing that the West built the Afghans but now claiming another that they didn't install anything yet installed the Taliban to power in the first place, yeah sure majority of Americans don't think that lol and again the issue we foreigners have with the west is they don't leave us alone in our affairs and claiming we aren't westernised is just a complete lie, yeah like I said so many cultures can do anything as long as they are westernised in the eyes of westerners right and that they can't carry any aspects of culture which is controversial to them and vice versa since those foreigners now are made to follow the culture that the West has which in our foreigners eyes is toxic and harmful to our cultures which promotes hypersexualization and prostitution drugs and violence and other nonsense like lbgtq rights something that our cultures are made to accept it and those who reject it are regarded as misogynists or xenophobic right? Your freedom has already ended especially when westerners talk about one thing while doing the opposite and resort to violence especially with disrespecting other cultures who don't want your ways but are forced to especially when they are subjugated economically and socio-culturally, again like I said so the West isn't the world police who can decide how other countries can apply their systems and they certainly don't have the right to interfere in any other countries global politics across the globe especially when all they have managed to do is cause chaos and are miles away from these countries to have any proper understanding of the historical and cultural ties that those countries share and why harming it can cause the whole system to collapse, let us foreigners decide whats our best interests and stop interfering in other countries politics especially border countries like Ukraine which has been westernised and ruined by far right fascist ideology which only puts it's own people as human shields against Russia, China overall is going to replace the West for good especially with how well it has helped develop various countries in Africa and the Global South like Nicaragua and Venezuela and will surpass the West in a few years for good, the wests reign is done and it will be time to pay reparations for the damages caused to the rest of the world as power in their hands certainly ruined many countries and the colonizers do need to pay back instead of running away from their actions consequences

  2364.  @1941blkwidow   yeah wishing to remain free by taking others freedom? Are you insane or just asking to be nuked? Yeah good efforts which y'all only pretended to care especially when all you westerners did was westernise Afghans and had them wear skinny jeans and eat McDonald's and watch Kardashians instead of respecting their culture and allowing them to continue their traditions which the original freedom fighters i.e the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan did who had better cultural values and traditions and supported women's rights and various land and marriage reforms and were in support of the Soviets did compared to the Mujahideen you westerners assisted a far right faction in the late 1970s-80s which did not respect women's rights and were extremists and labelled them as terrorists anyways as the West was done desecrating the culture of Afghanistan, please with what the West did to Afghans they would rather prefer to have any form of government even if they had to suffer for it especially when the West desecrated the original government that Afghanistan had and only installed a client regime to wage war on them again which the West obviously had made more money than they spent as with the West they have already shown throughout history to make up various propaganda to portray weakness, you claim im slightly incoherent and claim it's all half truths without even debunking any of my claims and proving im wrong I'm not looking to do justice on any side other than stating objective facts which you westerner can even search it up on Google your western website, you westerner just sound like your oligarchs and obviously are complicit in this and dont feel any regret for what your country does across the globe replacing once well established governments who had already suffered from colonial rule by you westerners and claim your country isn't an authoritarian state which desecrates multiple nations across the globe, you prefer living in such a system then you westerner should pay the consequences for it especially when the cheap labour products you enjoy from the blood of foreign countries and blood oil taken from them will be no longer available to you and your countries reign will finally end and surely westerners will be kicked out of foreign countries and isolated for good especially when we don't want anything to do with the West anymore other than get rid of your so called system which only ruined our cultures and traditions and our economy, we will fight back for sure and eventually have our own countries under our control and get rid of any more western hegemony for good and kick the colonizers out for good

  2376.  @jovimathews  yeah protect their democracy more like the west having enough leverage over its treaties and continuing it's interferences in the south east asia which it has no obligation other than taking advantage of loopholes, please your claims of western culture being shoved down out throats while we are literally speaking English for you westerners and not our language which westerners don't bother to read or learn due to how much lack of respect they have for our traditions, Asian politics have no obligation to have the wests military in its foreign soil especially when South East Asia overall has better relationships with China and there is enough proof for that already, China would rather maintain better relationships with its fellow neighbors unlike the west which is interfering in countries which are miles away from being near it's borders, if China was like the west I'm probably sure South American countries would have Chinese military bases around to claim it is defending their "democracy", we foreigners have enough of democracy especially when the west doesn't decide what systems each respective countries can implement and forcefully leverages countries via the IMF which is just a western organisation and still has South American countries and East Asian countries like Sri Lanka in massive debts which caused the crisis in the first place not Chinese interference like western propaganda claims, you can even find proof of how much debt Sri Lanka has from the IMF and the blame is put on China, the west also has no reason to interfere in Africa which they claim to provide charity for but not provide them the means to use it anyways, we foreigners have learnt enough from you westerners and how your propaganda and economic game works and will continue to fight back

  2386. People don't seem to understand that even in Jewish communities there are orthodox and unorthodox Judaism and there are also many ethnic groups in Jewish communities which westerners are dumb enough not to understand like there are many other ethnic groups and differences in many countries like in the US with the Mormon Church in the conservative sides, those who are of high status Orthodox groups especially from rich communities are highly extremists who disregard low caste communities and it's the same concept in every religion which people fail to acknowledge whether it's Muslim, Christians or Hinduism, those who are mixed blood or share any mixed ethnicities are seen as heretics and often ostracized even extremists ideals are shared in some rich communities, hell even in history even before Nazi Germany many of the Orthodox rich Jewish groups were told to leave the country for the grandeur vision of Hitler and weren't given the same treatment as those lower castes and in fact allowed complete immunity against any extremist attacks and escorted by the SS to many foreign settlements with all their assets and businesses untouched while those lower caste Jews who were mixed blood with German or from middle or poor class communities were never given any such warnings as they were the victims of their wealth stolen and put in concentration camps, and worse western propaganda uses them as a justification to safeguard those high caste authoritarians Zionist communities who are just as worse as Hitler and in fact some of them took inspiration from him with their extremist ideals, if u westerners knew about history you would realise that generalizing one ethnicity as one usually is worse idea

  2389.  @WingBroJoseph   well really the Presidents human rights record is well known here but it does not mean the west needs to interfere with Indonesian politics, you westerners forget what you did in Iraq? Especially when under the name of ousting the dictator Saddam Hussein and claiming they possessed weapons of mass destruction while the US Empire and its organisations found no such thing in the first place thus justifying an invasion? Please you westerners don't get to talk about other countries human rights issues especially when your country is the number 1 violator of human rights in modern history desecrating multiple countries under the name of "democracy" Please you westerners don't have to give lecture on how Putin invaded and started the war but forget for the the people of Donbass this war has been going on for 8-9 years at this point, you westerners forget how many Neo Nazi forces were rising up and initiated the maidan coup in Ukraine in 2014 and that coup was spearheaded by none other than one of your diplomats Victoria Newland, we foreigners don't forget the wests hypocrisy and how much damages the west has caused to the rest of the world so maybe claiming we can't blame the west and its people for waging wars on foreign countries and stealing oil and cheap labour from then in the past and having monopoly over the rest of the world via the IMF and massive debts which the US Empire itself doesn't clear and uses paper money to artificially inflate itself while the rest of the world is leveraged by the west which bases its own value and rules based order onto other countries, Putin did the right thing trying putting an end to the constant shelling of Donbass and the persecution of ethnic Russians in those regions and the territories of Lugansk and Donetsk rather prefer to split with Ukraine which has been filled with Neo Nazi ideologies and constant corruption in the Ukraine government and its western interferences being a national threat to Russia especially with the west having control near the borders of Russian aerospace, especially when now these territories want to join Russia via an official referendum which has been declared as sham by the west via it's propaganda which the rest of the world wouldn't fall towards unlike the western people who still believe in their oligarchs, please it's been documented and shown throughout footages of western troops and CIA operatives who are disguised as mercenaries and don't have any obligation in Ukraine and the west constantly asking for exchange for their "mercenaries" which they deem as a neutral force, it's obvious how much western propaganda is used to justify arming Neo Nazis in Ukraine and using weapons banned by the Geneva convention made by the west ironically to Ukraine, Russia was forced to make a move and gave multiple warnings to the west to stay away from recruiting foreign countries to join NATO and with Ukraine being close to joining NATO via joining the EU which they would obviously be more integrated towards the west instead of staying neutral and now the west still continuing to wage proxy wars against its fellow superpowers instead of negotiations and compromise with Russia which benefitted both parties instead of one sided agreements which no nation will adhere towards, the west has chosen war against its fellow superpowers and with the Taiwan situation it will be similar to Ukraine with how the west continues to invade into foreign countries miles away from it

  2411. Well how do you think corruption comes from really? Especially when a system which is run by multiple entities have multiple differences each with their own agenda to gain power or try to monopolise the system in their own way, this creates differences which cause chaos among the public and some rich stooges resort to try make as much money as they can to survive or for their future generations to have the same lavish lifestyle that they have, capitalism also encourages inheritance which in the wrong hands causes more problems to the people via bribing or anyone at the top position who is rich to make changes against the publics interests, corruption is something that will be existent due to the nature of power and how it's used and under a system which is divided by various people looking for power it creates more problems than actually fixing it, i mean what arguments can you bring up to help the people against a corporatist who is obsessed with making more money whether for the sake of his family and his future generations or for material gain, the concentration of power should be evenly distributed instead of having one side have more than the other, there are arguments for the fact that the people at the top will have full control over the people but really this is something that has been going on throughout history and the least we can do is to have people who actually look from a longer term for humanity instead of having individualistic mentality, even from a business perspective a corporatist needs the people to get to the top position which doesn't cause problems on the long term, the idea behind communism is the fact that there will be neither rich or poor but again this system is relatively new like a hundred years ago compared to capitalism and corporatism which existed centuries ago, i do agree whatever system is present imperialistic ideals is something that will be present but it all depends upon how power is distributed whether in multiple hands where there's disparity of power some being high or some low or a group which all have the same amount of power, any system can work if it's done properly even dictatorship or monarchy where there were some good kings in the past too

  2468.  @davidc9214   so you seriously compared Brian to a vlogger? You do know hes been doing this for years now and probably has better insight on military affairs than "vloggers", he's been in the military and knows how military operations are conducted and has a better analysis than so called professional commenters like you westerners, how is it really a disaster for Russia when their main objective always is securing the Donbass region which they have been successfully completed and what's remaining is to denazifying Ukraine, you westerners just make it a serious issue and surely provide disinformation as to confuse the remaining public here, what proof or arguments do you have that Russia has suffered heavy losses despite the fact that Ukraine is suffering many times more losses as documented many times with how much infantry and artillery Ukraine possesses which Brian proved many times its way lower than what Russia has fired in a single day, it has been proven Ukraine suffered heavy losses in the so called " Kherson Offensive" which failed spectacularly and only gained a significant gains in Kharkov which Russia already evacuated many citizens and it's military from there in the first place, really it's more like westerners exaggerating this victory as to even make ridiculous claims that Ukraine will claim Donbass and Crimea back which is a pipe dream at best with what Russia has on its arsenal, nobody is sugarcoating it other than you people who claim Ukraine hasn't lost any of its brigades which to any military expert will be a laughable statement, Brian has already put out not just theory but legitimate statements from Pentagon sources which itself is far as legitimate as it goes really, it's embarassing how you westerners act so loud and make outlandish statements while being out of reality of the situation with Russia still in control of Donbass and will probably create a buffer zone around the region as to prevent any further NATO forces from interfering in the war which you westerners of course will provide weapons to Nazis which you always do, It's embarassing how wrong you westerners are really when the rest of the world knows exactly how the west operates it's hegemonic ways onto foreign nations and Ukraine is just next on the long line of countries to destabilize, really all the west has managed to do is put EU in a economic suicide with sanctions which EU were completely dependent on Russia whether they liked it or not and EU will suffer the Winter hard while Russia will make deals with foreign nations like China and Iran, etc. and will increase its economic value on the global market having a positive image of denazifying Ukraine and you westerners will continue living in your delusions creating regimes while you sit in your comfort zone whining about your own economic conditions while being isolated from the rest of the world due to hegemonic ways held onto for centuries

  2489. You know the irony is that westerners create their own problems, the amount of homelessness and drug addiction is probably due to lack of management of the drugs which are flowing in the country especially when managed by corporations who only look for profit than understand the consequences of their actions westerners whose lives are either living lavishly off from the blood of others and many corrupt practices involved or those in the middle class barely gaining any proper income and only filled with more debts as to get decent position and income which itself isn't sufficient with the increasing inflated prices of basic necessities, combined with all these factors and lack of knowledge of their own countries internal affairs especially when corruption is allowed to the brim leads to people ending up on massive debts and tending to drugs especially among youths who are provided false fantasies of utopia in social media and other platforms by westerners same goes with every country which is following the same thing especially those which are affiliated with western systems and are facing the same problems with the rich and poor gap increasing and making the rich richer while worsening the already worsened situation of the middle class Sad thing is westerners take no action against their colonialist leaders and some even blindly support them and even put those who speak against them in censorship for their selfish interests and the people of the west buy their nonsense and come in justifying their countries actions especially those rich enough to enjoy all the cheap slave labour products from third world countries and bloody oil from the war torn middle East which they still label them as terrorists despite them directly being present on foreign soil causing terror to the local masses on those nations

  2501.  @them9884  I didn't even claim any such things that you all are at complete fault here but at least they should be willing to acknowledge and not just escape others from saying it to their faces here that they were ignorant and lived better lives which others don't see it as a good way especially they are suffering, nobody is expecting to just start a civil war here but at least try to educate others about it and bring awareness of the actions more as the current actions aren't just enough if I'm honest, I may not know what solution should be done for this but overall many westerners are just giving up here which doesn't make the situation any better here whatever the case I'm not advocating for any blame game here but I'm at least looking at it from a outside perspective and what others thought about this overall, many foreigners I spoke to aren't so willing to talk let alone change their minds towards peace especially those who are traditional and more country oriented, hell even some people I seen disagree with all the points in the China-Russia relationship video made by Brian and feel like the hosts are just too forgiving towards each other in terms of their history, I personally don't feel civilians are to blame but at least they should be acknowledging at some point here especially when one must feel things need to change here, I say it's more similar to WW2 situation where Japanese war crimes are still not forgiven ( in terms of comparison it's not the same but a rough idea) and the same sentiment is there for the west difference being these things are still continuing

  2502.  @them9884  see that's why westerners aren't take seriously by the rest of the world here you all aren't willing to listen for once, nobody is claiming you to suffer the same things foreign countries suffered here yet you all still make that assumption, responsibility in the sense fix your government and culture which brought people to this mess in the first place, and with that ginormous budget that the US Empire has collected from all across the globe pay reparations for it and rebuild the countries the west damaged especially when the elite obviously have enough to fix the damages caused as with the money that the elite have it would be possible with enough left for peoples sustainment and their lives being better, westerners can't just think of being selfish here especially when others would want to start fresh but are unable to do so, so unlike in the past where the west was pretending to help war torn countries while starting proxy wars in their country and gave them charity instead of jobs or build infrastructure which China is doing to other countries and helping them progress unlike the west, no one is asking for others to suffer for fulfilling revenge or something here, the only thing people want overall is progress and wanting to live better lives which westerners aren't putting enough effort towards their leaders or even stop them from damaging more open wounds here but foreign countries don't see any such efforts or acknowledgement here sadly and is why they are frustrated with it

  2515.  @MarkMiller304  you do forget Russia although it has orthodox values still is majority for the part western oriented here especially when it's people many of them started leaving the country for the west due to how much western culture had affected their country's cultural values, Russia had a problem overall with its integration with Europe in the past and although it wasn't as problematic as today it still had various colonial ideals in the past with the Tsars and many of the leaders in the Soviet Unions like Kruschev who brought western culture onto their lands thus weakening them, those damages are something that Russia may not fully recover from especially when they have to forcefully have to take actions to preserve its own culture from western ideas, China in that case is also similar in that terms and had to take various compromises in its traditions to be where it is today, the China and Russia today are certainly can't be the same as their traditional selves at least not without western culture progression being stopped from their country altogether i don't look for cultural harm of any ideals but also don't believe there should be full monotony between nations as that will erase their identity overall and i do agree that cultures which harm others like some aspects of western culture should be rid of and it's positives been taken and understood well, i at least believe that unlike in the past modern times at least has people who have free thinking capabilities but are misdirected into conflicts and chaos

  2516.  @MarkMiller304   I think it's more complicated here, westerners i see always bring up the situation of Ukraine as a pretext for their actions throughout the globe claiming they are liberating the people from tyranny while installing client regimes onto those countries in the first place, but they forget the fact that Ukraine used to be part of Russia a few decades ago and the people of those regions never were able to leave Ukraine especially after Soviet Union was bankrupt in those times, that cultural integration is understandable but the issue is the culture clash that Ukraine suffered from unlike Iraq or various other countries the west invaded while having no history with them, really there are many exceptions which I say can warrant certain actions I believe especially when ones cultural and national interests are in harm like with Russia especially when Ukraine was Westernised and already was moving away from Russia especially with erasing the Russian language there, I don't believe people are solely the country here especially when information and knowledge about certain things aren't something that the people can be able to have full access towards especially when with the example of 9/11 we saw how reckless ignorance and taking advantage of the loss of life happened in that day warranted an action which desecrated multiple countries i do think people and their leaders whom they elect should have more open communication with each other in these matters and any major actions taken should have a voting system like with Ukraine's special operation the people should have had a voting system which should have warranted such an action which I believe Russia failed in unlike China where the people have chosen towards censorship against western ideals to protect their own cultural ideals i don't believe wars should be caused recklessly like you mentioned with the government uprooting as with the nature of war from what we foreigners witnessed has only caused more harm than good, I wish to discuss more as really these are topics which in these times are barely discussed and only filled with nonsensical propaganda by others with ulterior motives

  2517.  @MarkMiller304  I'm sorry i can't disclose anything personal here, most of the things you said I agree, but I don't agree with the statement of Russia and China to reject western culture sorry especially when they too in the past had to be accepted by Western culture to get where they are and even then it's still not as cultural strong as the west, the rest of the world has more cultural assimilation and are under more economic leverage under the west here, China or Russia may have equal economic power but that alone does not determine how the people of those countries will determine the country's growth and progress especially when the western cultural influences in these countries is way too strong for China or Russia to have full cultural control over their country, hell even in these countries there're still massive corruption issues in Russia and China and China's system is relatively new which still people who are western oriented i.e adopt a selfishness idealogy kind off like the corporate culture in the west will take advantage off to introduce western concepts which is already happening with many westerners moving in China which I feel may be a problem especially those who are using that to spread western propaganda, channels spreading anti Chinese propaganda are increasing in views more than pro Chinese, the west has already won the cultural war decades ago after the Soviets collapsed my guy and although logically people may support China or Russia for their self defence actions majority still have a western viewpoint and there's more anti Chinese/Russian propaganda for the rest of the world to continue increasing the progress of the west That concepts of international order isn't something that should be similar to the west either, it should allow as much anti war solutions as possible especially when China has demonstrated successfully towards the Taliban and various other factions which are considered controversial I don't believe people should have full rights over their country here especially when the majority of the people lack the scientific and technological knowledge that those in power possess to make proper choices and both systems the people and their leaders should have choosing over their countries internal matters and discuss it properly without biases as the people are vulnerable towards concepts which are new but integrate it recklessly for them to be harmed i do agree about the last choice here especially when what happened to Iraq was an example of it really when people lacked respect due to western culture and chose to commit violence against the whole country instead of negotiations and although I do agree at a certain extent countries may have problems like with Ukraine as an example I believe there are different scenarios which may warrant changes like how Ukraine continued harming ethnic Russians in Donbass, the ones with Iraq with the west which had no personal ties to warrant changes wasn't justified other than the west having economic agendas against the country as to install regimes on foreign countries

  2519.  @MarkMiller304  the idea of majority deciding is what caused these problems in the first place, you seem to forget a lot of aspects of how propaganda and radicalisation works here and the majority arguments can't be used anymore especially in modern times where people are radicalised into believing things which they don't understand but as long as it's repeated it's accepted by the majority, example with the culture of hypersexualization and prostitution or pornography and even though it is accepted by the majority it only has managed to cause permanent cultural harm to various groups but it's all ignored as long as the majority accept it right for others conveniences ? These are cultural propaganda which is assimilated into the minds of people without them having any thought process of the consequences of it especially when youths are affected by this and are pushed into these jobs related to this which is only exploiting them making them easy picks for corporate companies who can take advantage of the culture which the majority has accepted around them for their own monetary gain, that claim it does not matter if individuals adopt different views is what western culture lives off from especially with radicalisation of what's acceptable and what isn't is blurred, the majority can accept various unethical concepts which can harm various smaller groups and such things are concepts which the rest of the world does not want especially when these are western oriented, citizens should not have a full say in everything especially when smaller problems which are ignored for majorities conveniences are what's caused this mess in the first place and we foreigners don't want anything to do with such concepts of the majority over minority, we foreigners would rather believe in live and let live but also believe that cultural influences if harmful should be eradicated for good especially when they are integrated with proper thought and understanding that the west lacks

  2531. Well western culture overall has been about selfish idealism which expects toxic expectations from it's people which is only oriented for one's own conveniences instead of improving ones nation together as a collective, the West lives off its culture of hypersexualization and violence and drugs and prostitution that it sadly affected everywhere around the world and the Western culture has managed to erase almost majority of the traditional ideals of respective countries all in conveniences for westerners who would like to live in those countries and benefit from the exceptional credits they get from the foreigners and although foreign countries themselves may have had negatives of their own they still had a functional stability unlike the West, there was no humbleness in the old days either especially when the West always has lived off its culture with lack of regard for other cultures or ideologies other than what's the norm and westerners who took advantage of the generous nature of foreigners who didn't want any more wars via cheap labour and blood oil from various wars across the world, that humbleness was built out of a lie than having mutual respect as the West obviously had the leverage and power left from the ashes of the British Empire over the rest of the colonies, its just that soft power is something that West excels at and that pretend behaviour is something that the West has to put up to be accepted by the rest of the world as the colonial approach was obviously a failure, the West has remained dishonest with itself and continues to do so and although there are some positives like experimental ideologies which the West showed potential for those positives are just overshadowed by the wests actions, the West has gained this position of power which it isn't willing to share it with the rest and that old culture mentality is surely going to be it's hubris especially when foreign countries wouldn't have it for long

  2545.  @Time4Peace  well they rather not work especially when it comes to land and resources here, Russia and other third world states were leveraged and assigned various roles in terms of keeping the military engine going like Russia as a cheaper oil producer and other South Asian countries like China or India as a cheap labour production and subjecting them into service based economy, the US Empire obviously has much more leverage in the financial sector especially when nations are completely financially dependent and moving away from their assigned roles will only cause their economy to be collapsed or have to rely on each other, whatever the case the US certainly does have a lot of leverage over other nations and debt that foreign countries still are stuck with via the IMF which I say is a direct extension of the US Empire, it is just naive thinking countries aren't going to be in financial and other non conventional wars here especially when there will be a breaking point for their actions regardless, the Schillers institute is just a mouthpiece for the US Empire here and although they may claim via sources to look for peaceful alternatives things are just going to continue back at the same spot if the US was still working with foreign countries and many don't want to work with the US especially after its reckless foreign policy against fellow superpowers and how it continues to have leverage over them via the IMF, nations aren't going to go back to how things were here it's just idealistic to think such a outcome is possible in recent times my guy, especially when countries have already reached a breaking point in how much damages they underwent from the system which was imposed by the US Empire, cold war never ended it just continued from the old times here via other superpowers rising like China and Russia now trying to gain back it's position too

  2569.  @fars8229  yeah there is no such thing such as Russian speaking ethnicity yet why do many Ukrainians speak Russian then? Are you delusional or just using propaganda to fool others here? You can't see the cross symbol in the tanks Nazis have and claim its justification by Putin or some nonsense, Ukraine was formerly Soviet Union and has shared many ethnic changes throughout especially with Russians and you people are willing to forget history here? And you claim Russians don't like to live in other countries yet here are the West invading in their borders trying to westernise Ukraine to be against Russia and join NATO and weaken Russia which is exactly how you people wish for all for the sake of your American masters and now you wish to fight against Russia while misleading others into your nonsense and claiming Russia is evil yet when called out on your hypocrisy you people can't seem to spout out blatant lies especially when many of the things you claim are just straight up false just used as a pretext for the US to use Ukraine against Russia, countries especially close neighbours who were former Soviet Union would wish to maintain relations with Russia with no western interferences especially when its not in their best interests to be westernised losing their culture and traditions for western convenience and it's Russian speaking ethnicities who shared cultural ties with Russia in the past would rather wish to reunify especially when their country is going against their interests and again Ukraine even had separated out for good away from Western interests like Crimea did since the majority of Crimeans are ethnic Russians and now Donbass which wishes to reunite away from West Ukraine especially when their government is blatantly anti-Russian and even erases the Russian language from various institutions and public services which is nothing but cultural genocide and censorship against Russo-Ukrainians which Russia will not accept for long especially when Ukraine doesn't change its policy against Russians for the sake of western conveniences, so Russia would rather wish for a reunification with its people who are abandoned by their government and kept them in censorship and erasing their languages for the West to use as a pretext to claim invasion despite the fact the West already had enough interferences back in 2014 and other countries like Georgia whose Russian ethnicities face cultural harm by the West and far right groups in Georgia will wish to separate out from their government if they go against their interests and erase their cultural identities like you people want against Russia, no one wishes for a war other than far right ideologies like yours and the West which erases others cultural identities for your own conveniences and theirs while other countries fight back for their own ethnicities in those respective countries they are called as authoritarian, if anything the west just choose whichever is convenient and used far right rhetoric to justify it's actions and interfere in foreign countries politics and install client regimes in their country who will always be against their neighbours like Russia or China with the Taiwan situation, you westerners just wish for war for no reason other than to make billions and instead of negotiations with the government and preventing further harm to the populace use rhetoric like Russia invading as a pretext for testing out weapons

  2572.  @fars8229  hahahaha just stop justifying your fellow western masters, NATO had no guilt or regret in bombing Belgrade especially when their current president Joe Biden bragged a lot about bombing Belgrade and conducting various operations to capture territories, NATO had no reason to invade any country and its illegal and should be subjugated under international law which the west obviously does not follow and will conveniently ignore or press no charges against them, the conflict between Serbia and Yugoslavia did not warrant any interferences from NATO especially when NATO had no economic or socio-cultural stakes in those respective countries and justifying it is nothing but justifying war crimes that Serbians acted out on Yugoslavian villages I don't think you westerners get to lecture other countries about politics responsibility and all that nonsense especially when westerners feel they can invade any country like Iraq Afghanistan Syria Vietnam Yugoslavia Haiti Cuba and various other countries on the list which we foreigners will be happy to provide to you westerners and call out on your hypocrisy, caring for others more like the west carrying out racial attacks on Muslims during the 9/11 era while preaching about democracy, we foreigners have had enough of the west and will take strict action to avoid our countries from further interventions and harm and will kick out the west and call out any interferences they do especially when it is obviously clear the west carries out such interventions for its military industrial complex which has made billions from the Ukraine conflict and continues to interfere in Georgia and only worsen the border conflicts between Russia and its fellow neighbours as it's obvious it's in American interests for Europe to be pitted against Russia while Europe and the rest of Baltic States are used as sacrificial lambs to wear down Russia which the main question arises whether the people of Georgia will want to suffer the same fate that Ukraine did after antagonising Russia and only fulfilling American interests while sacrificing their own people for Americans to make billions

  2587.  @louissosa1535  the problem with the west in cultural terms is that the rest of the world follows what you westerners do and even if it will clash with their culture or worse even replace it entirely the rest of the world still goes ahead with it as long as they make money, the selfishness ideologies that the west has is imparted into foreign countries and we are plagued by it instead of having autonomy over what we can decide and the issue is those westernised feel a need to force everyone into their ideologies and have only one monotonous culture instead of living and letting live, China had this problem and now it's censored itself from the rest of the world to avoid further western culture from harming it whether the ideas are conservative or liberal, China can decide which one they prefer based on scientific understanding and research on such things and then properly allowing it without causing major chaos for their people, we foreigners wish to do the same especially when the west influences our systems way too much and it's worsened our culture due to some ideas being radical or some good ideas being abandoned for convenience, the west's foreign policy never changes whether it's liberal or conservative and they use such cultures to gain a resonance within foreigners to take advantage of their hospitality is what we foreigners have seen, and they already won the cultural war sadly and we foreigners have no say in living in radicalised cultures unless we do what China did
    1
  2588.  @louissosa1535   well you misread my point, I said that your government is using their culture as a weapon to have full financial leverage and getting rid of other foreign cultures and desecrating anything they find inconvenient or spiteful, the people of the west are at full fault here too but unknowingly and due to ignorance which they continue especially when their culture is used to convince us foreigners that their culture is better and to abandon their own culture to have better lives like westerners have, example I say is with Brian and other westerners who are speaking on behalf of foreigners against western hegemony instead of foreigners speaking it themselves and representing themselves and not others, we foreigners don't just want a repeat of the same things where you westerners win but our systems and culture are abandoned and desecrated for westerners convenience, we don't want a win which will not give us freedom over our own country and our traditions which now have been bastardised due to western thinking, and many westerners especially those believing in propaganda aren't just going to listen based on idealism here, we foreigners expect a change from you westerners to stop involving with our matters and leave our culture alone but we don't see any of that happening and all we get is more of our systems and traditions harmed for western conveniences, we want to see changes not just words which are just simple to say i don't hate you westerners or possess any hatred towards anyone but just the western culture which we are forced to live in due to new generation with power are making their people abandon their culture to replace it, i don't harbor any hate and would like to see changes here not just words which we have seen enough of it, you should see how bad it is in various countries here and maybe understand how much harm is caused to
    1
  2589.  @louissosa1535  the propaganda isn't solely propaganda and is more like western culture which is used as a way to carry out actions against foreign interests, the west which has successfully propagated it's western culture and it's ideals across the globe erasing any foreign culture which it considers subhuman and having those people who followed their traditional cultures abandon and even defame it for their own conveniences to live in those countries and take advantage of their hospitality, you could already see Japan and various other Asian countries like Thailand and Indonesia Vietnam which are sadly becoming more like western puppets and same thing with China and it's people and although the government isn't as subservient the people are too Westernised for them to deem the west as harmful for their socio-economic and cultural ideals, laws are being made which suits western conveniences instead of the preexisting culture and replaced by toxic western cultures like hypersexualization and prostitution which worsened the existent culture and it's people and is incompatible with their lifestyles, the west has already done enough damages to the world and sadly it will take decades or even a century for old traditions and identities to come back without being tarnishes by Western influences, the west has chosen a culture and system which it deems convenient for itself and not what people would prefer and want and freedom of speech the so called western concept is bastardised and used as a pretext to sugarcoat the west's actions as the freedom of speech entails any idealogy or orientation no matter how controversial it is to be accepted and respected but the west doesn't seem to accept any such things and is outright rejectful to have a monotonous culture which it accepts as the perfect culture in its eyes and the rest of the world carries on the monotonous culture which it suffers from like westerners themselves do

  2721.  @AtlantaBill  I don't think you westerners seem to understand how lingua franca can dictate different cultures as throughout history from what we have seen is that a language is related to one's culture and ideals especially when you learn many types of vocabulary with it you also share forms of cultural influences we foreigners have already seen how culture can win wars like how the cold war was won with the US using propagandist ideals of capitalism as to prevent Soviet Union from gaining access to the international market which the West already had control from due to their colonial history or say the South American countries which majority of them are more closer to their European counterparts in terms of culture and ideals than their own native ones (at least South Asian countries are fighting back but that probably wouldn't last long) we foreigners have reasons to be skeptical of westerners especially when our culture and ideals are restricted for western ideals which westerners with their egoistic altruism still believe they are doing the right thing trying to westernise other countries and now our own people who are westernised changing our former lifestyles for western conveniences, you may not see it but again only we foreigners can understand the harm done to us the concept of lingua franca although western still holds true to how languages carry their culture and ideals with them especially when we foreigners have seen its effects already, I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing to learn other languages but you can't decide one language to be the norm especially when language is ones identity not just a way of communication especially for us humans, by learning a language you also learn about their culture or ideologies and differences something thats forgotten as to bring us to a multipolar world yet it would be no different from the unipolar ideals that was formerly present with the UN, we foreigners don't want our identities erased and just want to rebuild from the damages which are being caused by the West around the world or their proxies from our countries who are westernised westerners and their colonial ancestors can't just leave our countries without fixing any problems left by the culture that was practiced especially when they have learnt to accept no form of responsibility for their actions even if it is done by their ancestors, we don't even want revenge or any of that violent history being repeated but just an understanding and fixing the damages caused, we also don't want our cultures to be westernised again like before which we already are by this point
    1
  2722.  @AtlantaBill   well "English is the best language choice" is something that's decided by westerners and not something we foreigners have a choice towards especially when countries which abandon it are obviously cut off from the world trade which the US Empire uses sanctions along with it and preventing any other countries from trading with them, despising your own culture is typical of westerners especially when the concept of civil war is used as to garner sympathy for western ideals while cultural exchanges are performed the problem is not in the language itself but the culture and ideals that come with it like how it was with Christianity and forced onto other countries where even youths of those countries are eager to abandon their traditional ideals for the sake of being westernised which western culture itself has flaws which causes culture clash in the first place, our systems and ideals no matter how controversial it wouldn't be considered by westerners especially when under the name of egotistic altruism things have only turned out for the worse like what the west did with many Arabic countries and we foreigners have had enough of altruistic ideals being forced onto others if anything we foreigners don't want any more wars and prefer control over our systems and traditions and the power vacuum left by the west only has our own people rule our countries with facistic elements especially when they have been westernised for them to carry out whether it's the government or private sectors controlling our lifestyles and traditions, worse poor people of those countries resort to overpopulation due to the belief their families will gain some hope of lifting them from poverty especially in the 70s Now the mess has been made and the west is still trying to kickstart it's colonial history especially with the growing problem of resources hoarded by nationalistic factions against their own people and using that as a pretext to justify facistic elements against foreigners living in western countries unless they have been Westernised for their liking I could care less about language especially when translators can be made accurate for the problems to be fixed as i rather believe that the culture and ideals that come with the language is the problem, we foreigners don't want any other languages forcing upon us whether it's English or Chinese and rather maintain relations with other countries while respecting others culture and ideals and enforcement of any other ideals and culture isn't something we foreigners would prefer especially when it's forcefully applied onto others, we don't want any more lingua franca or any language dominating others especially when concepts like these are outdated at best and doesn't fit it with how people want to live their lives
