1·11 minutes agoI wonder why that matters, most oligarchs are from a diaspora.
There are plenty of other events like flight 655 which was a passenger flight from Tehran in the 90s which got shot down by a US navy warship for no reason. 300 innocent people died because of a miscommunicated order by the navy personel.
To add something; I like to think of Hegel in those moment and the master/servant dialectic,simply; two consciousness find themselves in a shared space. Since they exist for themselves in that first moment and are encountering a plurality for the first time, they enter a conflict. One wins, the other loses and both establish different states of self-consciousness due to this.
The loser becomes the servant, has to think of himself and his duty to the master, and finds meaning and recognition in the master’s eyes. The master does not think of the servant’s thoughts, only his own. The servant in the eyes of the master gains meaning, he can revolt, improve, love or hate, whilst the master is not seen, he only is, and this means his self-conception is not anchored, thus the master cannot reach self-consciousness but his servant can as he experiences a higher authority.
In practical scenarios, this is what explains in my eyes the hubris of the powerful and the optimism of the miserable. The tyrant punishes through anger, because he cannot gain any satisfaction from his state, whilst the one in servitude learns through his opression what resilience is, finds internal freedom and liberation by experiencing the worst. This really resonates with the psychotic crisis/mania the US states are going through right now and the strange self-aware calm the Iranians show whilst being in the most vulnerable position.
1·3 hours agoHeh, trump does not care about unifying or saving Ukraine, he just cared about not wasting american military ressources going after a war that was just a failed attempt at expanding nato closer to Russian borders. If that happened, they would be able to sneak in covert military members far more easily.
I meant this as in, Trump has shown preferentialism for white nations as far as accords he has signed. Whilst Obama was trying in his time to negotiate the trans pacific partnership in his time, Trump has been avoiding people who do not have the same skin color as him. It speaks a lot on his intelligence imo.
14·4 hours agoPolitical battles and wars do not start this abruptly, thinking that anyone on the world stage would tolerate Putin waking up and taking over Crimea on a whim is either a misconception on your end or misplaced sarcasm. Crimea was invaded by russia due to the impeachement of the Viktor Yanukovych, which was illegal and overwhelmingly proven to be linked to US action. Furthermore, Russia had a naval base on the black sea that would have been reclaimed by the united states if the support of ukraine shifted to Nato following the impeachment of Yanukovych. It was a strategic necessity and a means of incentivizing ukraine to reconnect with Russia as an ally rather than attempt to side with NATO.
Russia had retreated back into it’s borders in 2014 and just like with Finland and Austria, it respected surrounding nations borders as long as they did not engage in Nato expansionism.But to add one last point, Europeans are insane to the rest of the world when they think it rational to prefer the united states to Russia… Who between Russia and the US participated in 70+ assassination attempts of foreign politicians, undermined global peace and countries’ senses of agency and ruined Serbia, Afghanistan, Georgia, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Venezuela? The last thing Russia needs is a regime change…
As far as ukrainian journalists spoke of it, was politically motivated since Yanukovych was on good terms with Putin and part of the senate wanted to westernize if they had US backing to engage martially with Russia. Instead the US gave a solid year of military support and cut it s costs when came the time.
In canada you can make a police report online in most cities, how come the US doesn t have this?

33·5 hours agoOui monsieur, my bad edited it. As someone who graduated in stem, I have a very easy time understanding natural or technical or economical causes and effects but loathe it when another person in my field speaks on politics or social groups since they almost always come off as bigoted or ignorant (often both).
I ve therefore been interested in the social sciences and humanities for a while as they are a pleasure to discover. I find philosophy and critical theory to be the best guides to understanding realities that fall outside of the bounds of one s rationality and Foucault’s concepts explain politics better than anyone else (aside maybe from Deleuze and Guittari in A Thousant Plateaus).
Well if you ever land in jail, remember you ve got another hiding place… Works great to smuggle drugs or buttplugs.
Forgot to also add they killed Mohamed Mozadegh, the first democratically elected president of iran in 1953, a socialist and instead placed the Shah with the help of the british crown and the US gov, If you wonder why Iran has it for europe and the US, this is the tip of the iceberg of why. Plenty of fucked up shit happened later as well.
Quotes to mean it’s what he s whispering to our ear.
I highly recommend The Archeology of Knowledge by Michel Foucault, it is the magnum opus of contemporary philosophy and critical theory in terms of the phenomelogies of power.
Really helped me conceptualize politics at this moment.
Trying to unite all the good white nations? Definitely not white supremacist.
“Do you believe in israel’s right to defend itself?”
Ukraine was a pawn, NATO knew russia would invade, they signed a border treaty in 2003 because russia does not want american military bases on it’s border.
Thank god for academics like jeffrey sachs, he wrote on this…:https://www.jeffsachs.org/newspaper-articles/nato-chief-admits-expansion-behind-russian-invasion
Zelensky was dumb enough to break the treaty and believe that NATO would commit to their cause, instead russia simply honored the treaty by dissolving ukraine’s border…
The only people that i distrust are real estate agents, horny frat boys and politicians.
Aunt clara can’t conspiracy theory the oil and gas industry?!?!
British petroleum invented the carbon footprint and climate change denialism but aunt clara want to talk about little simon’s gender…

You’re confusing transgenderism with transsexuality. This man can have a vagina and be he/him, it s really his business if he wants to take testosterone and grow a beard whilst having a vajayjay. Meanwhile, a MtF woman can have a dick if she did not go through sex reassignement surgery. In this instance, both are not transsexual. The trans man is female (vagina=female) whilst socially being a man. The woman has a penis (male sex organ). This confuses some people and is why it is still a debate.
The real reason this all makes social practical sense is because a lot of males in society are not very manly and a lot of women are not very feminine. In the past the words to describe these people would be removed, queer, dyke, or other slurs. Simply because they did not fit what society defined as “a real man” or “a real woman”.
