  • I don’t think you get it.

    All political influencers place their bets on where they think the future may lay. He had reservations of whether or not the CIA was full of shit.

    As to the idea of him supporting Putin or being pro Z, that’s bullshit - and you know it. Going through the mental gymnastics of saying that he is, albeit indirectly, when he is obviously pro peace and anti war is disingenuous to say the least

    He has stated that he is anti imperialist. Just because Chinese programming has convinced him and that US propaganda has made him jaded doesn’t negate his stance on the issue.

    So before we move on, let’s ignore the fan wiki and move to the actual meat of the matter: link to me the direct, unfalsifiable and clear proof that he is anti Ukrainian and pro Z.

    If it’s all him being skeptical of US propaganda - wether or not it is correct - then you have no grounds to justify saying that he is actually anti Ukrainian or pro Z.


  • Can’t blame him for that. Being naturally skeptical of US imperialism - with the history of the CIA, not to mention Iran currently - is healthy. Additionally US officials and the CIA screaming wolf so many times even made the EU turn a blind eye to Russian despotism - a state fueled by oligarchy, Russian chauvenism and antidemocratic governance. Republicans largely ignored it because they are crypto fascism enjoyers.

    Going to bat for the autocratic regime of China however is kind of weak, NGL - especially if you talk to actual Chinese people about it anywhere else than online, or the influencer sphere. But that being said: the way US politicians spread sinophobia while at the same time exploiting Chinese wage slavery and outright slavery is very telling. They only apply certain values when it’s advantageous to their propaganda and not when it’s advantageous to do even more exploitation. Again: screaming wolf, trying to have their cake and eat it to, as the world’s current hegemony.

    But let us never forget that western liberals and conservatives “outsourced” (what a name for it) to the global south and the east so that western corporations could exploit said slave labour, and they did so to spite and deflate Union movements, in order to avoid democracy - because unions are a form of democratic representation. Now they’re crying crocodile tears for the hole they dug us into, a whole we call the RACE TO THE BOTTOM.

    But also: why are you bringing the destiny v piker beef into the comment section? Being a stan for an influencer is IMHO intellectual suicide. It negates the process of free thought, of actual, factual, axiom based skepticism.

    And to tell it clearly: free speech without free thought is like giving an assault rifle to a monkey. Don’t be a rifle wielding monkey, thank you very much.

    EDIT: but also, are you against public discourse and for the UK government banning people for taking part in it?














  • Then build out more infrastructure, for Gods sake. Take the Texas grid for instance. It’s held together with duct tape and spit. Just the wind blowing the wrong way and suddenly half the state’s without electricity.

    The answer is to use public spending, because the power companies want artificially low supply, since that means they make more money.

    Of course you also need to install new infrastructure to let consumers also offset the grid, but again: artificially low supply.

    It’s basically a rigged market at the behest of the power companies. You could innovate, but there’s less money in that in the long run - so you won’t.
