  1. Europe : we never seem to get a break on the depression scale don't we?

  2. the best example of this i can think of is when Alexander the Great visited the Oracle but was rejected because he came at a wrong time, in which Alexander the great went into a mad rage and basically stormed the temple, dragged the Oracle by the hairs and put her on the stand to tell him his future, in which she then said he was invincible and the son of zeus or something, they just make up whatever is best for themselves to please powerfull leaders and discourage some of them not to fight if it's in their interest. kinda like the NYT indeed.

  3. im 30, I feel exactly the same way, it must be harder for you though, I only remember some moments from the 90s and 00s.

  4. Just like in the 20th century.

  5. we live in a very racist society so it's natural that people start to view race as being more important because well you are constantly attacked for being a certain race and openly threatened by those who claim to be ''anti-racist'' so it be strange if racism would be going down in our society.

  6. I feel like society today is more racist then it was 20 years ago, just that people who are victims of racism are forced to be silent while people who act very racist get a pass because they label themselves as victims, we live in a very strange, backwards and immoral society and idk what can possible fix it but seeing certain groups removed from power would certainly be an improvement.

  7.  @Arcaryon  all I keep getting is ''he wacist, he bad, he stupid, he not nice, he tweets, media says bad things about him'' and that's it for 4 years....

  8. 9:01 as a European citizen the conclusion of Europe being weak is kinda weird, we are largely industrialized nations with access to modern weaponry within it nations that have presence in Africa, small groups in the middle east and are on the frontlines against Russia, the overal population of Europe is larger than the USA's despite being much smaller and with potentially new members joining the EU we still have room to grow if we wanted to. that being said you are very correct in saying we are disunited and don't have a single cohesive ideology, culture, language or single federal government structure to run everything, we don't have the same advantages the USA has in terms of land, no native problems, easy defendable borders or lack of real enemies like the USA but when I look at Russia for example I don't see a new rising power or world power, I see a nation that's very corrupt, some of the worst demografics in all of Europe and huge internal problems, the only thing Russia has going for it is it's huge land mass, resources and military which are the only things keeping the nation together, in fact i would put Russia up on the list of nations most likely to fall apart in the coming years and either becoming a closer trading partner towards Europe or China, perhaps both. what Europe is lacking the most though is stable birthrates, a federalized form of government that works for all nation states, a single military and taxation system and a more innovative economy that's less regulated like it is today and while it's not sure if it can develop those things in the coming years or decades saying it's nothing and does not matter does not seem accurate to me, it's divided for sure, a distant 3-4th on the world stage as a whole but compared to some other nations it has a lot going well for it.

  9. seems pretty accurate.

  10.  @Arcaryon  how was Donald Trump negative? Almost nobody in over 4 years has ever produced anything significant. Perhaps pissing off European allies with tarriefs and what not?

  11. 5:54 I would say the society today selects mostly for psychopaths and narcisists to reach the top, you kinda have to not care about people and be super individual and goal oriented as well as smart and narcisitic to get ahead in today's world, most people aren't like this and nether were most leaders of the past like this, some kings and queen were for sure but even that number is lower than you think and most people below them did not do too much besides maintaining order, these days we have social media, mass media, politicians and corporate ceo's that basically run the world and enjoy it while other struggle to get ahead, sometimes because of their efforts on the top to stop them from getting ahead.

  12. 22:55 incels are not a political movement and it's not centered around ''not getting laid'' the word Incel even stands for ''involuntary celibate'' meaning these are most often if not exclusively men, probably in their 18-30's and have had little to no positive feedback from both romantic but also friendship based relationships, from talking to some of them, most seem to come from broken homes, mostly raised by their mothers who were overprotective of them and did not prepare them for the world and how to improve themselves to gain potential mates or they have certain disabilities like autism or unattractive traits that they can't change or accept of themselves which in a world like this one that constantly demands perfection and competition while offering no clear way or comfort to actually reach anything close to that ideal. Incels are societies lost generation, forgotten, hated and despised, all they realy have is resentment and suffering without something like Christianity, familly or romance to guide them, if any incels or doomers reads this, the most important trait you should focus on is self improvement, not compare yourself to others and find some form of religion or ideology that gives you a strong sense of meaning in this world and view suffering as a test to overcome, it won't solve everything but at least you might get a better future.

  13. You mean isolated? Divide and rule is the main goal of government.
    23
  14. 21:12 I don't think that's very accurate, the germans weren't trying to become like the jews, in fact they hated the jews and considered them not part of their culture and people, how is that related to envy? most jews weren't even that wealthy but there were quite a few intelectual jewish people, as well as the blaming of the jews of the loss of ww1, the nazi's being in power and driven by pan-germanic expansionism and racial policies, I just don't see the envy aspect in them very much, it's mostly just hatred and wanting purity at all costs, if anything it reflects greed and wraith more than envy. the envy emotion is much more linked with communism, which you did mention but im just not seeing it with the nazi's much.

  15.  @Arcaryon  for over 4 years plus I've never heared him say anything racist, he was the most anti racist, pro free speech, pro gay rights republican in US history, he was the most honest, truthfull and clever president ever, who did not bow to the media and did not divide the nation as much as Obama did
    20
  16. @Gustavo Fring I don't think them leaving is realy beating, US could nuke Afghanistan if it wanted to, it's just not worth it.
    20
  17.  @Arcaryon  il read later but in my view he was the best president ever which is why the elites and the media hated him so much, he was so pro peace, pro free speech, pro america and were it not for the CCP virus he would have won relected and he had the second most votes in US history with the biden votes being very questable. all the media propaganda, the elites calling for violence, the open racism of the left, Trump was symbol of freedom and power to the people and he was defeated by all the propaganda, power, money and lies of the elites. it's going to be a long 4 years and decline for the USA before Trump can rebuild back in 2024 if they even will allow him to run again. it's sad to see so many people have fallen for the propaganda of orange man bad and very tragic.

  18. Seems pretty civil.

  19. I kind of confused at the argument that Europe somehow choose this post ww2 situation when it's been the most US led situation ever, when the Dutch, English and French wanted to maintain their institutions and militaries to maintain their colonies it was the USA that stepped in and made sure that did not happen, in the case of Serbia vs Bosnia the argument being made is "because European nations did not act in Bosnia in the way the USA would which had nothing to do with them or any effect on them they are somehow weak and ineffective" which is a pretty bizar argument, it's like saying the USA is weak because it did not declare war on China for invading India in the 1960s.

  20.  @Arcaryon  I don't see the rightwing as radical at all, in fact for a long time they have been very weak, Trump is not even a hardcore republican, he's donated to both causes the democrats and the progressives are the extreme radicals who mostly engage in violence, censorship and demonizing of others much more so then the right does, the rightwing in the USA hates the more fringe groups within their own party while the democrates embrace theirs, saying they are both the same just seems inaccurate to me. Im not even american and Im constantly finding more evidence that the left in the USA is nuts, the rightwing is very tame and not radical at all. I think I do understand your world view because before Trump you were correct, both parties sucked, they were all neocons and neo-libs but Trump was the outsider which is why the media and big tech hate him so much, many old republicans hate him and a lot of democrats who used to hate some of those republicans like George W bush now like him because he ain't Trump, it's insane which is why so many people voted for Trump, more than in 2016. Many in the far left also hate Biden and the democratic party looks more broken than the republicans under Trump, esspecialy the censorship and cancel culture of the left and big tech is clearly anti Trump and anti rightwing, it's far more worrying than Trump is, Trump is just one person, he's not some radical, he does not seek to end NATO but his replacement might and the republican voter base is not radical at all but if they were they could do a lot more damage than the left they just aren't radical but they might become due to the democrats flirting with the far left.

  21.  @Arcaryon  I wished someone could explain to me why he was supposedly bad, all the arguments presented aren't true and are almost based on emotions and not on what Trump did. meanwhile the elites, big tech abuse declines the USA on the world stage, while violence on the streets gets normalized by the left and the elites that support them, for many the veil of false representation has been lifted and that's where the true danger lies, Trump seemed to be the cure that would have restored the USA and now it shows that the elites won't allow anyone to restore US to it''s core values, Biden won't unite the nation and further divide it like Obama did, he is already a very weak and humiliating president to have. if you think Trump was bad if he does not run again, his replacement will be much worse and potentially an actual authoritarian.

  22.  @Arcaryon  because they have no logical basis and counter early statements he made. Example, Trump in the 90s was very pro democrat, he donated to their political party, his hotels were open for all minorities regardless of color or religion, he himself is not some hillbilly from the south, he's from new york. The narrative of "he's a racist" only started to be spun when he put his candidate position for president forward and those claims were never based on anything he said or did and anything close to it was taken out of context and later redacted by the media that posted them as truth. For the last 4 years the media hammered on Trump on every little thing he did and pretended everything was somehow racist or stupid even through many worse things were said by the democratic candidates including Joe Biden, which the media never dared to adress, the contras between how the media treats Trump and how they treat Biden is night and day and the only reason why it seems is because Trump is not an insider, he's not the conventional leader, he's bold and his actions speak louder then his words. Another narrative that was spun is that he is somehow a tyrant, even though he was the most pro free speech and pro guns president in US history and within just a few days in office Biden has signed executive orders without stop to reverse all of Trumps policies (except tarriefs on China) and he wants to take your guns and rights away, not to mention the open racism and discrimination towards white people shown by the democratic party right now. The mask has been lifted, the media and elites have been revealed, trust in the media and politicians is more down then ever and it's not because of Trump, it's despite Trumps best efforts to unite the country against the hatred and violence of the left and the elites. Very few people now trust the media and big tech is so totalitarian and one-sided that most people consider them the enemy of the people which they are and only the leftwing is defending them because their opposition is being censored the most and they like it that way. You could write whole books about all the lies and inaccurate propaganda by the media and many do and then you will have Antifa and NYT write hit pieces about you, even the president himself got censored by Twitter, it can't get more clear who runs the show and it ain't the people, they voted for Trump.

  23. I was pretty miserable as a millenial growing up, looking back it looks like a golden age compared to today.
    13
  24. il be honest I feel like this video could have been way better, it does not fully take into consideration the full decline of the USA or how the Chinese with it's bad male to female demografics actually lend itself towards expansionism and war in order to give purpose to young men without any wives or purpose since fighting in some glorieus propaganda inspired war is something many males would be interested in which we even see in the west to a much lesser extend. also the minor spelling errors like ww2 instead of ww1 in some bits were annoying and should have been polished better in my opinion.
    12
  25.  @lif3andthings763  ohhhh here we go with ''meh racism'' the only racism today in media, academics and politics that's even allowed is anti white racism, come on get real mate.
    11
  26. Have you never talked to a socialist before? Making emotional arguments and claiming anyone who disagrees with them is evil is all they ever do, I can't even recall a time this did not happen. Like who are these mythical leftists who don't do that? I've never met them before.

  27.  @MsZsc  US has treaties that limit Germany's army, they would actually have to change their constitution like Japan did few years back to get a good army going again, it's why the germans are so pro EU and pro EU army because they would then most likely with the french be in charge of said army.

  28. We have learned nothing from the 20th century, if anything we've unlearned more then we did then and have embraced a depressing and bleak future with not even the illusion of greater goals.

  29.  @alokozay300  perhaps if someone nuked mekka and blamed it on israel. Probably not even then.

  30. much more to do with the amount and how much presure is put on them, if you don't put any on them and tell them to be themselves and attack those that demand intergration then the results are kinda straight forward and easy to predict, i saw the current crisis coming since 2008. also it very much helps that the USA is not close to any major islamic country while supporting regimes close to europe that are the most fanatical.

  31. 16:08 not to sound pro national socialism but weren't the nazi's obsessed with raising birthrates, expanding their empire and influence and commiting mass genocide with the sole purpose of creating one united pan-germanic empire? does that not sound like the right sorta policy if the goal is becoming a super power? I would say that their lack of innovation and proper science like with nuclear theory would leave them behind the USA or the UK but in terms of manpower, resources and attempts to raise birthrates would they not be in a better position compared to the USSR in our time line?

  32. 23:30 this is something I actually agree with, Poland is showing a great deal of leadership and ability to act in it's own self interest and is forming an alliance block with other central and eastern european nations which is also known as the Intermarium (between the seas) however it's a bit unclear if this is a true union against the EU as a whole, a organisation block for eastern european nations to have eachother's backs or simply a counterweight within the EU against Western Europe. I would say due to the threat of Russia, the still somewhat less developed state of eastern europe, as well as the low birthrates and emmigration from eastern europe to places like Germany I think the Intermarium will be mostly led by Poland but will try and be a counterweight against western Europe's ideological influence, which I think is a very good thing, Western Europe should learn from eastern Europe and likewise they could perhaps learn and adapt to our ways of doing things, thus creating a more stable and greater European community.

  33. well we do have them but it's questioned by american values and the memory of ww2, combine this with the USA keeping us down in their world system means that fighting back would only lead to more misery and decline, the best thing that would happen to Europe would be the USA leaving the region or having a major war with Russia since that would force Europe to unify to fight back but in doing so would also grow more hostile towards groups that are not them. Basicaly Europe's nations consist of ethnostates that need to bind together to protect itself from colonisation or american subjugation, most americans don't understand Europe and simply believe becoming more like the USA will solve their issues while in reality it's the source of this deep sense of dread and loss of identity, the same is true for the USA itself but they are less honest about it.

  34. I wish I could be optimistic, feels less like pessimism and more like realism.

  35. Perhaps the quote should be changed to "the victor writes how history is remembered"

  36. doubt the west can copy that, they don't have the same level of controle as China has. I would also say that having a large male population is a good resource for starting wars, also automation is going to be the future so most people are going to end up being cannon fodder anyways.

  37. Not seen the video yet but damn this is going to be juicy. Hope you don't get censored.

  38. I do wonder how future economies are going to deal with automation and how to do it optimally, make take is probably something like a basic income for most citizens which won't be great but you won't starve and a much higher need for stem fields like robotics and AI to help build, improve and maintain new means of mass production, I do expect the government to want to promote more people going into those fields and rewarding them with certain benefits so they don't migrate to other nations, while at the same time lots of poor people who can't switch to those well paying and privilaged jobs feeling resentfull and perhaps wanting to destroy automation so as to become workers again, a neo-luddite movement if you will. What's horrifiying however is that I can imagine a government taking power over automation and things like gene editing to produce horrifying weapons of war but also using automation for mass production of robots, Drones and other automated weapons to try and take over the world, a secret, totalitarian state like China could very well try something like this and im not sure if the western world can outproduce them or stop them if they did, ww3 in that case would be more horrifying than ww2.

  39. cope

  40. 19:18 I think this is pretty much inevitable no matter what happens, Africa is likely going to experience something like the worldwars on it's continent very soon and the only thing Europe can do is secure northern Africa and try and deal with the fallout as best as possible.

  41.  @theunwantedcritic  social justice alienates everyone but esspecialy young white men, if people hate you for your skin colour and tell you how you should die and make way for the other groups who oppress you, while your group does most of the work in society, then why would you not want to push back against that group? If it were done to black people we would call that empowerment and liberating from oppresion.

  42.  @MK_ULTRA420  sure does not feel or look like a golden age, more like a realy weird, insane and stupid episode of the Twilight Zone

  43. 26:10 I mean this is not impossible but I've actually seen a minor shift within far right parties to be less isolationist and more pan-european both in their organisation and cooperation between different far right political parties, take Marine le Pen for example, she went from wanting to leave the EU and holding a refurendum on the membership within it to wanting to remain part of the EU and simple act more in France national self interest, she became a close second in the last election between Macron which 10-15 years ago would have seen impossible. As the Far right gets more support it will move slightly more to the center in order to appeal to more people and actually win and maintain it.

  44. Flee the country, go to prison, join the army, cope someway else.
    6
  45. This sounds like a lot of cope from your part and ignoring reality for most people. Not all of reality is based on if you can get a girlfriend, if you can't see how messed up the west is today you are either ignorant or part of the elites beyond normal working class people.

  47. I think the UK is much more likely than Canada though they aren't far apart.

  48. 20:47 I really don't think Russia is ever going to be a willing US ally since the USA would then be much more capable of dividing and weakening the Russian state, the Russians have far more to gain by being allied with the Chinese for as long as possible because the alternative would be utter stagnation and death of the Russian nation. the only way I can see Russia becoming a somewhat US ally is if Russia became a part of the European wider economy without being part of NATO which in the process would make the NATO alliance seem less likely to survive to begin with, you would have this sweet spot of Europe being powerfull enough yet still loyal to the USA in order to put pressure on the Russians to go along with US interest since they aren't being threatend, would get economic growth which they really need while weakening their rivals in China thus making Russia much more powerfull in the long run. since that's not going to happen Russia is going to stick with China no matter what, not because they like China but because both Russia and China are in the same boat and they are lost without eachother and they know it, by the time Russia would become a western ally, China would have to be defeated to begin with, having the CCP out of power and entering a new era for both nations.

  49.  @reek4062  all I ever saw was the USA asking for help and emposing a no fly zone, France is involved in west Africa, is hostile towards Turkey, Germany still has treaties limiting their army enforced by the US and their own constitution and the UK spends the most on their military, Libya was not that big of a deal, it was more of a after thought, the USA has it easy being able to bomb nations or arm terrorists and then leave the pieces for Europe to deal with. If the USA is such a bad super power perhaps they should just leave and let Germany, France and the UK handle things.
