  1. Bro yesterday I put my critique of you in claude ai and I asked it to give a rebuttal to it, and your response today is almost the same as the rebbutal that Claude made. This is hilarious. I am not intending to do rebuttals to your posts, I'm not the west's guard dog. I don't advocate for the push of western ideals on China. My sole position is that I don't want bullshit authoritarian governance models pushed onto the west. Which is what you subtly advocate.
  2. Bro this is some insane levels of bullshit. Comparing the Munchen agreement with the Molotov-Ribentrop pact is some of the most insane levels of bullshit and self deception I've ever withnessed. Britain and France wanted to avoid war and gave Hitler permission to annex the suddetten land of Czechia in exchange for him not invading any other territories. That was it! The Muchen agreement didn't contain sectet protocols that devided Europe upon spheres of influence and the redrawing all the borders of Eastern Europe. The soviets were the main contributors to the outbreak of WW2. Hitler wouldn't have dared to invade Poland if he knew that the USSR would have allied with the west. He would have been defeated then and there on a 2 war front. That was the main reason Hitler wanted to have a non aggression pact with Stalin to make sure that he doesn't have to fight both the soviets and the west once he attacks Poland. The soviets captured half of eastern Europe when they allied with Hitler. They even offered themselves to join the axis in late 1940, but Hitler denied them because he was already set on invading them. Bro please, be less Russia and China biased. Please. Your understanding of history is as if you were taught history in Russia.
  3. The more some politician goes above and beyond saying and doing anything that will get him closer to taking power, thats who you should never vote for. The more power hungry a politician is, the more dangerous and corrupt he is going to be once he is in power. Another principle I deducted from the video.
  4. I deducted a principle for politics from the video: How to decide who to vote for? Ask yourself, which of these politicians or political parties are valuing truth the most and have their life and policies guided by the pursuit of truth the most? Thats who you should vote for!
  5. I agree, but by successful I meant a life of integrity and personal fulfilment. I mean even though I have 2 dollars in my bank account, I view myself as successful because I live a life full of integrity. To me success means living a life of integrity. In my romantic relationship I've always been truthful towards my girlfriend and I feel very happy with my relationship, I never lied towards my girl and I am really pleased with my relationship. I think success is a bad word I used, I should replace the word success with the words fulfilling life and spiritually rich life. A philosophically successful life.
  6. I'm 30 minutes into the video, this is what I took away from it thus far: The only way to experience and live a succesful life is to have your life led by a mind that is run by an engine of truth. The only way to experience a fine life is to have a mind that is powered by an engine of truth. The engine that runs your life must be truth, otherwise if your engine is anything but truth the vehicle that runs your life will stray to corrupt and self deceptive paths that will lead to suffering and pain. A correct interpretation of reality can only be achieved by driving through life in a vehicle that has as its engine the valuing of truth. Without truth as your engine you risk having your wheels fall off your car as you drive through life.
  7. I discovered actualized.org when I was 14 in 2014. I got news flash for ya, no teacher ever will help you with success and money. At the end of the day you gotta get off your ass and work to improve your financial situation. Leo gives tremendous financial advice, the problem is that we are too lazy to follow through on his advice. We can't expect Leo to go to work and improve our career for us. That is work each of us individually must do.
  8. I can confidently say that after watching the first 16 minutes of this video I learned more valuable life transforming lessons than I did after 8 years of elementary school, 4 years of highschool and 4 years of university. In total spending 16 minutes learning from Leo yielded a ton more value for me than spending 16 years of my life learning in the state funded schooling system of my country. That useless schooling system didn't even taught me English, Leo was also the one that taught me indirectly all the English that I know today.
  9. This is gonna be the most legendary episode to date! I'm only 3 minutes in and I'm already having a philosophical orgasm. Hell yea! I'm so hyped for this episode. This episode sums up the main reasons I follow your work Leo! Man I love your work so much! Thanks so much for your work!
  10. I give an example. Imagine there is a mayoral election for lets say Paris. There are 4 candidates. The nationalist/conservative, the moderate liberal, the progressive and the libertarian. The conservative one is polling 1 week before election at 40% the liberal is at 35% the progressive is at 15% and the libertarian is at 10%. If progressives have a brain, they would vote the moderate liberal thus giving him 50%, winning with 10% difference over the conservative, and now the city of Paris would move slowly towards reform and the diminishing of the corruption. But because progressives are brain dead they vote their progressive candidate that has no chanche of winning , thus the conservative candidate wins the election beating the liberal with the score 40% over 35%. Now the status quo is upheld, the robbery of the public money continues and the progressives as always did their best to regress society.
  11. Progressives and leftists are some of the most immature and dangerous among the political groups. They make the liberals look bad thus giving fascists free fuel to power their political machine. I put progressives in the same pot with libertarians. Utterly immature and dangerously ignorant. The whole political debate should be between which side steals more ( The conservatives) and which side steals less( The liberals) which side is pro status quo( conservatives) and which side is pro government reform and improvement (liberals). But because of those ignorant progessives, we are debating who is preserving culture and who is fighting to change tradition and culture. This allows conservatives to continue to steal and uphold the status quo under the banner that they defend tradition and American culture from those looney progressives. Right now, counter-intuitively progressives actually regress society with their naivety and ignorance. Those fools need to be dropped into a war zone to get in touch with reality. Their dumb political positions are ensuring that they make sure the voters don't vote liberal thus ensuring that the status quo thieves keep on robbing public resources.
  12. If you look at the last election Kamala lost due to the moderates that choose to go with Trump. Those same moderates voted Biden in 2020, but now they went with Trump because of the huge inflation that happened under Biden. I don't say that the inflation is the fault of Biden, but the average voter perceived it that way. Bottom line of what I'm trying to say is that progessives are irrelevant in elections, in the swing states and the popular vote overall, the moderate luck warm voters are those who decide who is gonna win, and those moderates felt that Biden worsened the economy thus this time they voted for Trump. Progressives are litteraly dust in the wind in the grand arithmetic of general elections. I don't think there is a more meaningless demographic than progressives. Sometimes, ironically enough, these progressives are the ones that actually regress society due to their refusal to mobilize and vote the moderate candidate with the higest chanches to win.
  13. Bro the ammount of self deception and authoritarian loving bias from you is off the rails entirely. No offense but your brain is totally fried from the ammounts of authoritarian propaganda you consume. Your AI's are totally poisoned and self biased and their sole purpose is to reinforce your skewed Dughinesque worldview. I've always thought that you are Dughin on this forum, your every post is like it was written by Dughin himself. In every post you shit on the west, while you praise the authoritarian world led by China and Russia. I got bad news from you, but those regimes don't give a flying fuck about the individual. To those regimes the individual is just a slave that has as an only purpose to work like a mad dog to produce goods that the government can then boast with. China has achieved great success economically because of it's people that are very hard working and intelligent, not because of a piece of shit dictatorial system that you seem to praise non stop. Those hard working people would greatly benefit from western style freedoms and human rights that they rightfully deserve. Instead you praise some piece of shit dictators that see their people only as labour force. Another critique I have for you is that you are just a robot, when was your last time that you wrote a post on this forum using your mind alone? All your posts are 90% or more written with AI. Mind developing some independent thinking? Or we are reading the posts that your AI's have generated? Leave the AI chat bots to the side because they are poisoning your brain, the algorithm that your favorite AI's are using is the same algorithm that Facebook or TikTok are using. That AI is just feeding you information that reinforces your worldview, the same echo chamber effect that TikTok and Facebook are using to feed you the same content that you are attracted to over and over again. Using solely AI to make sense of the world is the same as dropping the soap in jail, the AI will fuck your mind if you drop the soap in it's bathroom . Use AI as a substitute for a search engine, not as a source of truth. Try to diversify your information sources because right now you seem like a Russian/Chinese propaganda vehicle on this forum.
  14. This is childish levels of historical revisionism done by the Chinese, and that EU official was spot on calling their bullshit. China helped with shit in the defeat of nazism. Nazism was defeated by 50% the Soviets and 50% by the US and the West combined. China had 0 contributions on the defeat of Nazi Germany. China had great contributions when the US, the Chinese and the Soviets defeated Japan. On the side of the WW2 where Japan was the enemy China had great contributions and it paid with a lot of lifes. But don't come now rewriting history. Nazi Germnay's defeat had nothing to do with China. Saying that China helped with the defeat of the nazis is as stupid as saying that France helped with the defeat of Japan.
  15. What do you think @Leo Gura, is the model of government proposed by China and Russia along dictatorial right wing lines going to replace the liberal democratic world order led by the West? A lot of people, even on this forum are swayed by the authoritarian/dictatorial ways of governing led by China and Russia. A lot of people on this forum are shitting on the western way of doing governance while they praise and like the governing model of China. Personally, It makes my skin crawl when someone is suggesting that the governing model of China is a more evolved form of government than that of the West. I'm curious to see how you view this situation. Are we moving to an authoritarian led world order? I think it is ludicrous to believe the dictatorial way of governing could ever overpower the liberal world.
  16. Since Russia has allied itself fully with China and the rest of the authoritarian world, they are on a quest to defeat the West. Will they succeed? Will the west prove that western liberal democracies are still king? The west proved in the 20th century that liberal democracies were superior to the communist bloc. Now the west faces a new ideological enemy, Authoritarianism with collectivist fascist/nationalist far right flavours. Basically the new cold war is a war between the woke liberal individualism (Stage Orange/Green) of the west against the Fundamentalist, Nationalist, Reactionary Collectivism (Red/Blue/Orange) of China/Russia. It is a battle against stage Green and liberal democracies. Let the battle commence.
  17. I've been following your work since 2014. I can say with all honesty, the above is the most stupid thing I've heard you say. I still don't fully compute what I just read. This is redneck level of climate change reasoning. What you said here, in my eyes is the same as if you were to have written a conspiracy theory in which you explain how the jews and the Illuminati are enslaving the world through the banking system. I hope your views on climate change have evolved since the fall of 2023.
  18. Define the new world please! What do you mean by that?
  19. What did you say? That people in the first world countries are trapped in endless work? This is beyond hilarious. As if in a 3rd world country you don't have to do the same amount of work. Hell, here we work even more in inhuman conditions. Have you tried to work for 4 dollars an hour, From Monday till Saturday, 13 hours a day? With no health insurance and no money for retirement? Try going to a hospital in Eastern Europe, you enter with a broken finger, and you exit with deadly bacteria on your wounds. Man, you first worlders are so annoying that makes me wanna vomit. You are basically living in heaven yet you bitch and moan all the time.
  20. Imagine wanting to leave America because your favorite party didn't win the elections... This is childish. The citizens of the first world countries are so spoiled and ungrateful, man it is almost comical. If you live in America, you don't even know what corruption is. Even if Trump becomes a de facto dictator, you still have a lifestyle which is 1000% better than almost any place in the world. I'd advice anyone who worries over politics, to grow a pair of balls. Regardless of who is president, or which party is governing, America is one of the best places to live on the planet. You can do basically anything, and as an ordinary citizen, you never experience corruption. The corruption in America is litteraly child's play compared to the corruption in Eastern Europe, Russia or the 3rd world in general.
  21. I personally stopped consuming any political content from the internet. It is all full of bias and self deception. From now on I take your advice on reading the political books from your book list and I am contemplating everything using my own mind. I've given too much authority to others to do the thinking I am supposed to do. No more!
  22. You know why I compare Germany with Eastern Europe? It is because in 1945 both Germany and Eastern Europe were all leveled to the ground by the war. For example the entire city of Warsaw was leveled to the ground, almost no building was still standing, that was the case for much of Germany as well. Germany was also divided for half a century, yet after 1945 West Germany has started in the same place as my country, my country was in an even better starting point because Romania saw little fighting on its territory during WW2. Yet during the time that Romanaia was a vassal state for Russia, while it was under the most brutal form of Communism in Europe( National Communism) my country wasn't even able to develop even 20% of the success that West Germany has achieved since 1945. I'd argue that the reasons for this are the brutal communist regime that was 1000 more inferior to the capitalist system of west Germany, and the second reason is the development of the people. While in 1945 Germans moved from blue to Orange, Romanians just stepped into Blue, with many to this day at stage Red or even Purple. Development levels and the capitalist system is what allowed Germany to rebuild and develop into a giant powerhouse while the communist bloc was spiraling into deeper and deeper poverty. The 20th century proved beyond doubt that socialism and communism are obsolete, backward, regressive ideologies.
  23. If Russia was a sane nation, it would ally with the western world, by doing so the whole country will be improved in all aspects from infrastructure to the economy, to the quality of life and to the reduction of poverty. Most Russians live in extreme poverty, especially in rural areas. Russia is part of Europe and it would be wise to join the EU and NATO. But unfortunately we don't live in fantasy land and that won't happen for the next 100 years.
  24. To be frank I'd assasinate anyone who proposed the abolishing of private property. My grandparents worked their soul off to buy 2 acres of arable land, and I'd go to jail for life just to make sure I unalive any communist or fascist that proposes the nationalization of private property. Here in Europe 2 or 3 generations of people have been sacrificed for stupid retarded communist or fascist nationalization policies. How is this fairness that I get to live in a rat box of 2 square metters designed for me by the government while the socialist leaders live in 2000 square metters mansions? I've had enough of this nonsense.
  25. I see in my country only the most corrupt devils that look with admiration towards Russia, those people are always complaining that they hate that the actual government force them to pay the minimum wage for their employees. Imagine being such a devil that you don't even want to pay 500€ a month to a human that works from dawn till dusk for you. Those devils want to pay their workers 150€ a month the same way it was before the EU. Only the people that could no longer enslave their workers they way they did before the EU, want my country back in the Russian sphere of influence. This is the reason why the west expanded eastwards. To modernize and to bring development to eastern Europe. If Russia wants a sphere of influence they should move to another planet to find one, because here on earth no one deserves to be a slave all their life for the ones that suck Russian cock for power.
