Bro who did you talk to from our country? Who is this "influencer" who has top tier knowledge on politics? From my experience no one from our country even remotely knows what they are talking about when it comes to politics. And regarding the rest of the post, honestly I never talk anything related to personal development to anyone. Nor do I feel the need to do so. I talk to people normal mundane stuff, not the advanced stuff Leo talks about. I would only talk stuff like this only if someone would deliberately ask me about personal development. This stuff is too hard to explain and honestly too much talking about it yields no results. We have a saying here that goes by the following: Shut up and do! And regarding personal development this is the most important, the doing aspect of the matter, talking is nice but at the end of the day is just empty words.

Corruption is the one variable that can turn any governmental framework into shit. Regardless of how good the system is on paper. Socialism works only if the majority of the citizenry has low degrees of corruption. A moderately corrupt capitalist system is much better than a very corrupt socialist system. Corruption enables people to abuse and sway the system in whichever egoic ways that maximise their survival. If you would change the entire governmental framework of America to Socialism, the inequality would be basically the same. Why? Because corrupt people always find cracks to exploit the system in ways they can still abuse and leech off of the backs of the proletariat the same way they are doing right now under capitalism. Just look at the USSR and it's satellite states. The corrupt actors that lived in obscene luxury under communism have died by old age during the transition towards capitalism after USSR collapsed, but their offsprings and all their friends are living right now in the same obscene luxury their parents lived under communism. While the plebs were worked to death during communism, and the plebs are worked to death now as well. If you want a true change in society focus on how to elevate the consciousness of the majority of society. Focus on educating people to be less corrupt. Unless you do this any system that you will design will generate the same problems and the exploitation of the plebs will be just as worse.

That was the case for my country too up until 2021. After 14 years of EU integration I could finally have asphalt on the roads of my village instead of mud and swamps as roads every time it rained. The big cities in Russia and Belarus are nice because all the oligarchs that suck the country's resources dry are living there and it is common sense to live in a clean city. After all, why steal so much if you don't at least build a nice city to live in.

This is sad. In the future we should ban gambling and betting all together for people who are working minimum wage. Only millionaires should be allowed to gambe.

@Breakingthewall I wonder what would Putin do if all the phones in Russia would display non stop pro western propaganda coupled with anti Russian propaganda also coupled with endless streams of fake accounts that leave nasty comments against the Russian regime. Oh wait... The Russians don't have access to World Wide Web, YouTube, Facebook or other social media besides Telegram. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤣

Brah, if everytime someone opens social media sees an endless stream of videos and comments that are aimed to tarnish the pro democracy parties and in the same time they call the "Patriots" the saviours of the nation.... It is obviously that the pro russian patriots would win. I mean if the pro democracy parties had the same propaganda machine they'd have 90% of the votes. How come that the patriots didn't even get to the 5% of the votes required to enter parliament before 2020, but since the war in Ukraine their score is now at 40%? While other pro eu reformist parties that hadn't governed before drop from 16% in 2016 to 10 % in 2025? Is that fair play that one party benefits from the fact that all the social media and all the phones of the people in that country are flooded non stop with pro russian propaganda? While the other parties propaganda is downgraded by the tiktok algorithm? Is it a democracy when the entire informational ecosystem has been hijacked completely by the russian propaganda machine coupled with the complicity of the Chinese social media company and of the META American company? Are you for real? I said I will no longer respond to you but you drive me insane.

Ah, so it wouldn't be a KGB coup d'etat then hmm? Have a nice day and goodbye!

Nice gaslighting. Unfortunately nothing you have said it is true. My country has been in NATO since 2004 and no nuclear weapons have been put here, hell we barely have any Patriots anti missle systems, we have like few military bases with like 10.000 foreign troops stationed here. The baltics are the same, and as of now Finlad is exactly the same as my country. So the nuclear and virus BS holds no water whatsoever. As I told you earlier, having your people demand accountability from the government after those Russian dick riders betrayed their public is nothing illegal. Hell, if Trump would become WOKE and stated to side with the liberals the Maga fanatics would literally kill him. And that won't be a KGB coup. Just a normal reaction of the people when you fool them with fake promises and then you do the exact opposite. You framing the Ukrainians as nazis is just Russian gaslighting. Bandera? Bro have you heard of holodomor? After the Russians mass starved 5 million people do you not acknowledge that the Ukrainians wanted to break free from the Russian vice since at least the first world war? Bandera is a natural reaction from the Ukrainian society during WW2 when the Russians mass starved the Ukrainians in the 1930's doing a similar genocide similar to the holocaust. When you do a Holocaust onto the Ukrainians don't be surprised that extreme hatred towards you develops in form of Ukrainian nationalism. This is the last post I'm doing debating you. You are siding with the ones that behave the same way the Roman empire behaved towards tribes and nations that didn't want to obey them. I hope you are proud of yourself.

Who the fuck started the war? It was Russia who couldn't stand their colony breaking free from its chains, so they decided to decimate the whole population for daring to break free off their leash. It is like the entire Confederate South would go and exterminate all of Florida for wanting to abolish slavery and join the Union. It baffles me that you would have such a position.

Bro, you don't understand the situation because you are a westerner, and you have lived all your life with the western comforts. Western comforts for me have arrived in the last 8 years. It took 10 years of EU integration to finally have a bit of the comforts that you and your kin have experienced for generations. You don't understand what it means to live in a place like Russia. In a way Russia is a libertarian utopia. You only have something if you are strong enough to protect your possessions. If you don't have strong friends with connections, in a place like Russia you don't have ownership even for your own body. Literally. Do you think that people who have been caged for 50 generations in such a system would want to wait one more year so that spoiled people like you not to call it a CIA coup d'etat?

There is nothing illegal for the citizens of a country to revolt against their government when in the electoral campaign they promise closer ties and integration with the EU economy, only to do a U turn and start sucking Russian cock while betraying the expectations of the people that elected them. It is called accountability. Such things are only "illegal" in Putin's Russia. Only there you must be forever the slave of the oligarchs that back Putin and any revolt is crushed immediately. People of Ukraine wanted their country to look like Germany not like Belarus. And this is nothing "Illegal". Illegal is to trap generations of humans in North Korea style dictatorships.

The west meant democracies and democratic institutions and human rights. Calling Nazi Germany a Western country is wrong. Nazi Germany was more alligned ideologically with the Roman Empire than the West. Soviet Union had nothing to do with the west. If it was even remotely resembling the west, there wouldn't have been necessary to fight a cold war with the west for half a century. Unfortunately Romania was the second military force only behind the Nazi Wermacht, on the Eastern Front. Romanian soldiers together with German soldiers have done horrible things in that war. Romania has been part of the west only since 2007. 18 years of being a part of the west. My main issue I have with your argument is that you falsely put Nazi Germany into the west. This is pure Russian propaganda. Only they want to portray the EU and NATO as some successor to Nazi Germany. Which is very false. The west in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's consisted of France, Britain, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweeden, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands.

I'm telling you what people here think and believe. I'm just ringing an alarm bell. And as far as I knew Jews were mostly spread out in Europe before WW2. Not in Peru.

Well they are not wrong here. In Europe there is an alarming number of people that are anti semites. I began discussing politics with people more often since last year and I was shocked to realize how many blame the jews for everything. Those backward peasants that I talked to believe that the jews run the world and all the banks in the world. If I were a dictator in Europe I'd make a law that states: Engaging in Conspiracy theories will make you go to jail for 20 years with no chance for parole.

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's why they spent billions to sway elections in literally every western country. That's why every social media site is filled with AI generated propaganda videos that bad mouth the west all day long. That's why twitter is flooded with Right Wing pro authoritarain content. That's why TikTok is full of "influencers" that come elections in Western countries, they flood the zone with shit and defamation videos on pro democratic parties or candidates and praise and call "patriots" the wanna be dictators or far right nationalist parties. That's why on every comment section on these platforms therey are thousands of bots commenting about how the pro democracy parties are full of thieves and how only the pro dictatorship (oligharch backed) patriots are pure and are worthy to lead the country. Bro please, go sell the shit you are selling to someone else. I'm not buying it.

Me? Deluded? Did you even analyze what you wrote? Have you heard of the principle think twice before you speak once? Have you studied even the most basic of history? Here I got you for having your mind infested by anti-western propaganda! How the fuck can you say that that Nazi Germany was part of the West in 1940? Brah, The Nazis were on the same side with the Soviets in 1940. The West was staunchly opposing both Nazism and Communism. Nazi Germany had nothing to do with the West, they were sworn enemies of the West. And regarding your BS takes on the West, since my country has joined the western club of countries we have lots of stores where we can buy lots of food, lots of tools and basically anything we need. We can open businesses without bribing 10 politicians and 20 mafia thugs, we can go to the hospital without selling a cow to pay bribes to the doctors, we have roads, we were able to work abroad and bring money home to build houses, human rights are respected, we have a minimum wage that didn't exist before and much more benefits and freedoms that we didn't had before. And this is all in less than 20 years of EU membership. Homelessness? Bro in China and Russia if an oligarch wants your house, even though you have fully paid for it or you legally own it, those mafia thughs beat you with iron roads and break your knee caps until you sell it to them so that they can build a new car repair shop. Then talk about homelessness.

Perfectly said. I personally think that both Russia and China are awesome countries with rich cultures nice people. There are a lot of cool and good aspects of Russian culture or Chinese culture that could be "better" than how the West does things. We are against the governance that those countries want to export to the west. The same way those countries are against the model of governance the west tries to export to them But my opinion is that the way western societies are ruled and governed is much better than how Russia or China is governed. I don't talk here about economics, sure China has a great economy, we could learn stuff from the Chinese about economics, but for the individual citizens life in Western democracies is literally heaven on earth.

What a strange loop! Who would have thought that the people being exterminated in Europe by the nazis in the 1940's would create their own nation state and 80 years later become nazi themselves and do to the Palestinians the same thing that the Nazis had done to them. God is a comedian.

Bro, people go for shopping there and they disappear forever. Literally North Korea is child's play compared to the shit that goes down right now in the territories that Russia annexed from Ukraine. May the universe be gentle & mercyful to those poor souls being in that hell right now.

Man I hate westerners like you so much. Like who do you think you are for wanting us the plebs, that live in the most corrupt countries in Europe to always be under the heavy boots of the most corrupt oligarchs that always had Russian backing? Like for real, do you think that only you deserve a country where you can open a business without having to pay protection fees so that your family doesn't get hit "accidentally" by a car? Are you for real? Do you think that only with "Soros & CIA coup d'etat" the people of Ukraine would want their country to be like Germany or Poland and not like Belarus? We deserve to have all the benefits of western democracies too. We are not third tier citizens like you guys take us for.

Bro, the whole of Ukraine speaks Russian. Literally Ukraine is little Russia! A little Russia that has choosen to be part of the west. Basically you could call Ukraine Western Russia. To really understand what Ukraine is in regards to Russia, it is to compare Germany and Austria. Basically Russia is like Germany and Ukraine is like Austria. And it is not acceptable for Germany to meddle in the governmental affairs of Austria, it is not ok for Germany to decide which economic or defensive alliances Austria should pursue. It is not OK for Germany to annex Austria. Last time this happened we had the entire European continent leveled to the ground.

I'm still waiting for the day Leo will reveal to us that he is actually an alien from a far away galaxy that has came here to cure us of our backwardness. I have this thought ever since Leo became all of a sudden interested in UFO's & alien consciousness.

I think I will buy it. This is stuff that deeply interests me. I want to develop a mind that would be bulletproof to any kind of propaganda. Recently I became more atuned with the Russian & right wing nationalist propaganda and I have to admit, that stuff is vicious. Had I not been an old follower of your work, I'd have fallen immediately for it. If you are exposed long enough to it, your mind will be forever intoxicated and poisoned with everything the Kremlin wants you to think. I bet that right now that the Kremlin invests far more resources in developing & unleashing its propaganda machine onto the West than he is investing in weapons against the west. The Kremlin's goal is to conquer the minds of the western people. I was deeply saddened when I found out that your book list doesn't have any book adressing these issues. The West has propaganda too, but compared to the Russian apparatus of propaganda, the west's propaganda is child's play. You cannot withstand the level of brainwashing that the Right Wing Russian propaganda does to you if you are a mere normie. If you don't develop your mind and you don't get serious about studying this stuff your mind literally becomes Putin's sex toy.

what do you guys think of this book? I plan to buy it. Has anyone read this? What do you think of this?
