He wants Greenland, Panama Canal, Canada, the oil and adult film actresses. Everyone is for sale in his worldview. He’s simply a thief and 80 million voters tacitly approved his criminality. Good ol conservative values.

Easy answer ,in my opinion, the right hates Trudeau because he is liberal and they feel that he virtue signals. He embraces everything they hate like other cultures and progressive values overall. For example, when he speaks French, the right sees that as a beta appeasement move. Houses have become unaffordable in Canada and some may hate him for those kind of things to. About Rogan, I think he ceded his authority to Musk. He worships him and when Musk started to endorse Trump. basically accelerated Rogans descend into MAGA.

Picking fights with friends while trying to get closer to adversaries.

Ayn Rand has a rape passage in one of her books. I Can’t remember if it is atlas shrugged or fountainhead. I was kind shocked when I encountered that.

I have done too much hate-listening to Whatifalthist, Jordan Peterson, Stefan Molyneux, The Lotus Eaters, Sargon of Akkad, and Joe Rogan to balance my perspective. Some of these were a kind of intellectual role model to me. But, I think it has mostly been a waste of time. I struggle to find one reasonable right-wing talking head who has generally good sense-making ability.

"Either Trump or Sanders" is the interesting take-away from this guy. Also, Trump is a sign of the decline.

Does geography count as a grand narrative? Then I’m a strong proponent of its validity. Because I’ve observed that naturally endowed countries tend to do better than less gifted countries. Not to discount human capital and ideas, but some places are just bound to be more successful. But I’m still a fan of many post-modern concepts.

@Husseinisdoingfine School adversity seems to make people very depressed so you’re definitely not alone. This is evident from many Asian countries were student go ahead and do the thing your thinking of doing. However, you seem to live in America which is a land of many many opportunities so there is definitely room to make a transition to another field. Life is beautiful, but it takes practice to see this while pre-occupied with survival. Hope you get better, take care.

I’d love to see him championing free speech in china.

Now, by coincidence, I’m learning about post modernism in university. And the episodes really filled In many gaps that my lecturers don’t have time or incentive to elaborate on. The episode was really interesting and illuminating.

I feel that you had to be dull-minded while surviving and being responsible for your loved ones. Imagine working in a line where you do simple monotone activity all day. After finishing your mind numbing work you’d have no desire to contemplate the existence of the universe. But, if you’re part a of community that encourages this, you’d have a ready made scaffolding structure to get started and stay on track.

Home ownership, geopolitical tension, the loneliness epidemic and uncertainties about the future.

How many men of African descent are responsible? @Schizophonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(2000–present) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serial_killers_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_serial_killers

Inception level bullshit.

Survival is the game we’re all playing. This identity business is huge part of it. Very shamelessly bullshiti/bullshitesque/shitbully. Like a British person, Elon Musk, if he considers himself that way, complains and actively inflames a situation in a country that he isn’t not a resident in. Why, one could ask? Because of bullshit, simply. Entitled brats like to eat their cake and insisting on keeping it. Entitled to be British or make up an identity like Rhodesian, South African, Canadian or American. I’m considered a person black African in Europe, then naturally Trump or Elon should be called white European person living in America. But bullshit privilege absolve them from modifiers.

Funny thing ,this, identity. A black person does something wrong in Britain like this Axel and his identity is attributed to be a driving factor for his action. He is a second generation immigrant. But I wonder if anyone thinks the same way about, for example, Donald Trump? His grandfather came from Germany making him a third generation German living in US.

I’ll add entitlement to the list of drivers for this riot and the push to the right we see globally. There reasoning of is, this is my piece of land , security, identity , my worldview etc and don’t you dare question this, their thinking goes I guess. And the culture wars ensues.

From my observation is anti-immigration a global issue. I see it in many places like Turkey, US, South Africa, UK and many more. For instance, Pakistan deported many Afghanis recently. So, I don’t think this issue is particularly European.

It’s nice to see the world united in play.

Wearing a uniform is partly a level up status-wise. Also, making a difference is something that motivate many.

Good thing they’re wearing bodycams.

Yes and no. No, Survival is a hell of a drug, and most cornered animals resort to destructive activity for the sake of survival. Add trauma, addiction, systemic vulturing enterprises like cults, gangs and ideologies. You begin to notice how vulnerable and exposed people are. Humans beings being social leverage our humanity to build survival structure. If groups or individuals feel alienated or discriminated by the structure , they may rationalise their alienation with less constructive survival strategies. yes, in that less smart people seem to be underestimating preparing for storms and troubles. Less connected to structures that shield them from survival issues etc.

Everyday I notice the conversation at work, on the streets getting more right. I’m an immigrant myself, but people don’t censor around me, and I don’t wanna be bothered about it anymore while basically not countering it anymore. It was actually kind of predictable that people would react this way about immigration. People blame EU for the immigration problem which is inaccurate.

From far right gaining seats in EU to brics😂. I agree. In the long run I find it unlikely that China and India will work closely together. The BRICSphobia has more to do with a point Mersheimer made about an action like beefing up the domestic army may be considered as a threat from other countries point of view. However, in essence the action may not have anything to do with foreign policy. Also, the basic law of entropy applying to society that endless growth is needed or everything collapses, which is completely unsustainable. Decline for major powers is inevitable because society is a house of cards. Here, a country can take two roads, managing the internal decline or projecting and focusing on external enemies. Of course it’s easier to rally people against a foreign problem than fixing local problem that might upset donors etc.
