Yanis is just another Western Leftist ™ theorist. Give him a few more years working the grift and he’ll be as bad as zizek.

The best part it that Belgium isn’t refusing outright. They are just demanding that the EU agree to pay the damages in any law suits and the EU is saying “we can’t take on that risk.” So the EU knows it is illegal and would get them sued but they want the Belgians to take the fall.
I swear when NATO breaks up Europe is going to be a slaughter house as all these petty grievances will have nothing holding them back.
Except getting caught. He should have freed more people and killed more slavers first.
I think the title should be “I wish there is a place where I can talk about my sexuality without feeling uncomfortable but at this point I am going to be screaming in my head”
Also I like it. The flow is just uncomfortable enough.
I live in giant bucket.
If EU didn’t want a black hole on their border maybe they should have held up their end of the minsk agreements.
Nope. There is no centralized “social credit” system. There are cases where owners of dodgy businesses that owe lots of money or were involved in malfeasance have been cut off from Flights and Trains but those were imposed by a court. They do have regular credit scores but they are nowhere as nebulous or shady as western ones.
When people bring up the “social credit” thing just ask them if they know their credit rating. Then ask them if they know that just checking their credit rating it can make it worse or that landlords can and often do demand a credit check and employers are allowed to ask for a credit check. Then ask them if being penalized for antisocial behavior sounds bad compared to a automated financial credit system that you aren’t even allowed to check without hurting your rating. “everything bad you have heard about China’s social credit system is true multiplied by ten in usa but it does not exist in China”
This is very funny.
Peak sarcasm is when the upvotes and downvotes are neck in neck.

I must have not been paying attention at that point.
Please enlighten us. What has Maduro done that is so bad?
I am a bit of a “boo” for a culture of affordable housing low cost of living, healthcare, and technological advancement for the betterment of society as a whole.
Really interesting bit of history
discussing the Soviet Sino split
There’s one thing which I think many people in China themselves don’t know but which is talked about in Russia quite a lot. After the overthrow of Stalin, the Soviet leadership wanted the Chinese Communist Party to ouster Mao the way Khrushchev was ousted. Zhou Enlai came to Moscow, and there was an expectation and hope that this would lead to an improvement in relations between the Soviet Union and China.
Over the course of that meeting, the Soviet defense minister, a man called Marshall Malinowski, came up to Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai assumed that Malinowski was talking on behalf of the entire Soviet leadership. He said, “Look, we’ve just overthrown our own idiot, Khrushchev. Why don’t you do the same thing to Mao?”
Zhou Enlai said, “Under no circumstances. If you think that’s what I’m about, if you think that this is what China’s about, you have misunderstood us completely.”
Zhou Enlai reported this to Mao. Mao was of course extremely angry and very alarmed. He then messaged Moscow and said, “What is this?” He was expecting that the Soviet leadership would repudiate Malinowski or even sack him, and they didn’t. So after that, Mao completely understandably assumed that they really were out to get him, which probably many of them were.
We also now know that there was a faction within the Soviet leadership at that time, led by a man called Alexander Shelepin, who wanted to improve relations with China. He was a committed communist and he wanted to reunite the communist movement. He was secretary to the central committee and he was in conflict with Brezhnev, who was the Soviet leader at this time. Of course, he lost the internal power struggle in Moscow, but quite possibly relations with China were affected by this internal power struggle.
This has been talked a lot about in Moscow because the Russians, just to say this, blame themselves for the failure of the relationship with China in the 60s. It is well understood in Moscow today that they made a whole succession of catastrophic errors, that they treated China and Mao himself with extreme disrespect. And there is a very widespread view in Russia today that the single reason why the Soviet Union collapsed was precisely because of the split in the communist movement and the fact that the Soviet Union found itself in the 70s pitted against both China and the United States simultaneously, and this broke its resources.
I’d love to know his sources and be able to dive into them a bit more and verify his take.
10·6 days agoOne of the linchpins holding the american economy together and they decide to use it for spam? Marx is laughing in his grave.
I hope trump does as good a job as he did with the trade war. Maduro deserves a F35 nose cone mounted on his wall.
This was a good interview. A nice change from some of those stinkers he had for a bit.
You are doing
God’sMarx’s work.
I said it yesterday and I will say it again, yanis is just another zizek.
