  • Interesting but too pro-Russian for me. They piss on Europe for arrogance of believing that freedom and democracy are a good thing. They espouse live and let live among nations, like if a country wants to be a corrupt communist dictatorship then other countries should be ok with that and look the other way while continuing trade and cooperation. This is the general tone I took from it although there were offsetting points to make it a more balanced discussion.

    Edit: I couldn’t even finish it when they started talking about how Europe has been the one to not want to work with Russian universities, completely washing over the fact that since the Russian revolution that country has been steadily more protectionist and adversarial. These guys are fucking morons.

















  • Unfortunately and as with everything, the actions of a few cause a reaction that affects so many. The rise of the right has been driven primarily by immigration of people looking for the promise of democratic freedom and opportunity. These incidents are used to prevent this migration entirely.

    Is this right? Should people have a right to migrate in hopes of a better life? Some you might identify as far left don’t feel boarders should exist at all. Others believe that borders should be sealed and only people who would benefit the society within should enter (sadly based on the colour of their skin as well). The obvious answer is that the best practice probably falls somewhere in the middle.

    I have two takes on this. The first is that immigration should be ended as we are entering the end of our societies ability to support existing populations with food and shelter, due to climate change. The second is that regardless of circumstances, never flee your country if you don’t like what’s going on. Fight to change it, even if you have to die trying. That is what I plan to do.
