Is that the default governance of a stage orange or is America the case of toxic orange? Can you have a healthy orange democracy that is not an oligarchy or stage orange eventually by design will lead to an oligarchy?

Noted! Thing is that I do understand it intellectually, but still emotionally I tend to see it as bad or unevolved in a way. Like I assign a value to it. Your videos have helped a lot. What angers me the most are double standards and hypocrisy I agree with you on that. I told even others who were shitting on Biden about that, that Trump will be way worse. I think not voting for Kamala and choosing Trump is not even being too green, it is just stupid. Trump is cryptonite to Green.

They resonate to me a lot How do I grow out of it? I live in a pretty green place and if there is no green, it is orange and blue Yellow is hard to get to Your content is possibly the only yellow I have in my life and even in this forum most do not seem yellow to me I must confes when I started watching your content 5 years ago (during first lockdown) I was pretty orange with some green and a bit of blue. But an orange center of gravity. Now I would say my center of gravity is green with some orange and veryyyy little blue I really find Spiral dynamics and all these models interesting so that is the yellow in me However it is hard for me to apply it in real life outside simply putting people in categories And even then sometimes a blue/orange actor can trigger me more than a red or blue actor which is fundamentally still green mindset with yellow knowldege

What do you think of Mehdi Hasan? To me he is the best out of the leftist people in terms of articulation, debating skills and overall moral development Also pretty relaxed compared to Cenk or Destiny that get super emotional and childish He is definetly stage green but I have not seen from him a lot of the toxic components of Green which you can see in some other commentators He seem pretty grounded, healthy Green The Jubilee debate where he argued against 20 far right Americans showed it Crazy restraint from him considering how insulted he got on his face

I have seen critizing Israel is becoming more and more legally problematic in the USA since Trump came back so I am not sure you guys have proper freedom of speech either. During Biden it was better.

They were not "casualities of war". They were part of a systemic genocidal campaign to rid Eastern Europe from Slavs and populate it with Ethnic Germans. Belarus lost 25% of its population and 95% of those civilians died AFTER the country was already occupied. 600 villages with all their inhabitants were destroyed. Similar things in Russia and Ukraine. Overall close to 15 million Soviet civilians died during the Second World War (if we exclude all the Jewish). Most of them were killed in genocidal attacks similar to the Holocaust. If you research, many people who died in the concentration camps were not Jewish but Polish, Russian, Gay, Romani etc What people forget is that the Jewish people were not the only group the Nazis wanted to exterminate. It also included Romanis, LGBT, Slavs etc It is offensive to call such things "casualities of war" Google Generalplan Ost

I think the job of loud lefiests like Cenk is to increase awareness and create some sort of moral revolt in people that can help tackle unfairness in the world Centrists are better in finding solutions once people become aware and willing to discuss solutions First you need to get people up which leftiests do very well Also Leo I am pretty centrist on a lot of topics like taxes, sexuality, Ukraine and immigration It is mostly on Gaza where i become full blown leftie

I never said it is a bad thing. I simply stated that Destiny to me seems more centrist than a leftie. That is how the conversation started So we somewhat agree on this Also thank you for your responses, it is quite lucky of us to have someone as Wise as you openly discuss with us.

They are pretty good at making sense of Israeli terrorism so. To me it is just an anti Muslim and anti Arab bias that when they do bad things it is terrorism and when the rest do bad things it is "complicated". Double standards. I notice Americans are conditioned in this way since 9/11 to associate anything bad Arabs or Muslims do with terrorism and when other entities do similar or worse actions they use different terms for it. Pure bias. It is the trademark of a leftie to empathize with low developmetn societies Which makes me think Destiny is more centrist than leftist.

I dont think Hamas is still relevant to this conversation It is about ethnic cleansing/genocide at this point You could make the "Hamas" argument in the first year or so They wont rule Gaza anymore anyway, also all their top leadership has already been killed Also defending the side that has Smotrich and Ben Gvir is not easy either Do you see what they say? A clip for you: The 1 for every 50 btw came from Nazi Germany that had such a tactic to supress partisan attacks on the Eastern Front "The number of hostages to be shot was calculated based on a ratio of 100 hostages executed for every German soldier killed and 50 hostages executed for every German soldier wounded, a formula devised by Adolf Hitler with the intent of suppressing anti-Nazi resistance in Eastern Europe" The irony This is what Israeli defenders are defending or justifying The Iranian government is also pretty bad yet Israel did not do the same to Iran Hezbollah is also pretty bad and Israel did not do the same to Lebanon Difference

How can a leftie like Destiny fall for a bias which is condusive of hardcore religious nutcases and far right government supporters? That I cannot understand Destiny is pretty informed on this matter, he even went to Israel to tell IDF troops to stop recording their war crimes.

I do not think what Israel is doing now is complicated It is just wrong and should be condemned and not supporter nor justified DIfferent issue on the first 2 months of the war where you could make arguments from both sides My issue is Destiny still defending Israel in August 2025, not in October 2023 Piers Morgan for example who had similar position to Destiny with time changed his mind because he realized Israel actions are no longer defendable and just wrong. People that still defend Israel in summer 2025 today are either paid by them or morally rotten Ironically the only Western government that does so is Trump which you so much despise

So if someone had mostly good positions but was also a Trump voter (fan) you would still take him seriously?

That position tells me all I need to know It is like you judging people based on them supporting Trump and using that 1 position to put them in a category regardless of their other opinions on other topics. You immedietly disregard them because that 1 position is so telling Same with Destiny here And it is not about how outraged you are. Nobody here is sayiing Destiny to be as outraged as Cenk But Destiny does not give a single shit Total lack of empathy is not the same as moderate empathy

Such as all invasions are Nobody here says it is ok what they did, so I do not know why you are talking about it The difference between Russia and Iraq for example is that Russia has a lot of reasons, which are legitimate in their eyes to carry out this invasion USA had no legitimate reasons, they were just lying Deluded reasons which are legitimate to the invador are better than pure lies I am sure Russia geniounly believes their crap And I have not seen a single person in this forum defend it or say it is a good action This whole forum is pretty aligned with that issue What changes here in opinions are the motivations behind the action, not the action being good or not.
